Planet: Dagu II
Table of Contents [hide]

Dagu II is tied with Dagu III as the largest planet in the solar system and holds the closest orbit to the Dagu sun of the four inhabited worlds. In addition, it boasts the second largest population of all of Dagu's orbiting spheres, is the center for most of the system’s trade and commerce, and has been crowned the capital world of its star system. Dagu II, like Dagu, has a single supercontinent that wraps completely around the planet’s equator like a belt. The planet’s terrain was historically comprised of rolling hills and grassy plateaus, with some scattered forests dotting the landmass. The most notable natural wonders of the planet are the massive Sekra Forest in the north (which once covered an impressive 7.6% of the planet's surface) and the Red Mountains, a chain of active volcanoes near the south, which, according to local legends and myths, will one day destroy the entire world in one simultaneous eruption. The continent separates the planet’s two great oceans that occupy most of the northern and southern hemispheres and poles, which is yet another great wonder of Dagu II. The northern sea is host to thousands of aquatic species and is the world's main supplier of fresh water. In turn, the southern sea is nearly devoid of all life and consists entirely of saltwater. Scientists are still uncertain how this peculiar distribution may have happened, but the leading theory is that it was the result of sodium-rich meteors impacting the southern sea at some point.

While edible flora and fauna were abundant enough once, the numerous years of unregulated and unchecked hunting, fishing, and farming resulted in a steep decline in the population of both plants and wildlife. The planet also offered few resources to the early colonists, who had arrived with outdated technology and equipment. The lack of trees and shrubbery on the supercontinent is believed to be the result of countless eons of storms that yielded extreme winds and tornadoes which devastated everything in their path. Records indicate the largest tornado ever recorded on Dagu II stretched four hundred yards at its base, while the longest-lasting tornado was rumoured to have raged on for five days. The terrifying whirlwind supposedly started in the eastern hills and finally ended in the northwest once it had reached the ocean.

Early settlers faced many natural threats from the planet upon their arrival, yet managed to endure and mold their world into what it is today. With the use of atmospheric conditioning machines, the planet has not seen a sizable storm in recent history. To help combat the diminishing plant and wildlife populations, many existing species (and new ones) have been imported and introduced to the wild. Perhaps one of the biggest milestones for the planet was the completion of the system’s first starport, which undoubtedly encouraged the growth of the population and focused most of the interstellar trade and commerce on Dagu II. The once nearly barren continent is now riddled with trading ports, businesses, stock exchanges and many other wonders of modern civilisation.
