Planet: Forscan V
Table of Contents [hide]

Forscan V is the second smallest planet in the Forscan system. While it is not the most remote planet, its long, elliptical orbit keeps it distant from the system's star most of its year. This keeps the planet frozen and mostly inhospitable for most multicellular lifeforms. The surface of Forscan V is dominated by glaciers and snowpack which can be hundreds of meters thick in some places. The planet's rocky surface is visible only where volcanic and geothermal activity keep temperatures above freezing. In these regions, a variety of microbial life thrives, having adapted to feed on the abundant toxic gasses. Researches have also discovered underground lakes and rivers beneath the frozen surface, kept liquid by a combination of pressure and proximity to the magma below.

Because of its inhospitable climate, Forscan V has never been heavily populated. Prospectors have failed to find valuable resources, and it was never seriously considered for colonization. At different times in the systems history ports were established for trade, both reputable and otherwise, but few of these ports developed into continually inhabited settlements. Most of the planet's permanent residents are employed to mine the thick glaciers and purify the water for export to planets like Forscan IV, where water is scarce.

There have been rumors of Force-sensitive individuals visiting the planet's cave systems to meditate deep below the surface. Many of these caves are only accessible at certain times of the year when the planet is closest to the system's sun, and the glaciers recede. Forscan V's history with Force-sensitive communities remains a mystery, and many of the cave systems have yet to have been surveyed professionally.
