Moons None (binary planet)
Class TGI

Lamana is a planet in the Viperius Galaxy, of Planetary Class TGI.

Location

Lamana orbits the F8-class star Urmu, 40,000 light years from the galactic core of Viperius.

It is the second planet of eight from its sun, at 1.19AU, with a negligible eccentricity. Lamana's orbit takes 392.4 days.

Characteristics

Lamana is large and terrestrial.

Size

Lamana is around 15,500km in diameter, and with a mass around 1.7 times Earth's. Its density is 5210kg per cubic metre, just a little less than Earth. As such, its surface gravity is 1.49 Gs.

Rotation

The planet takes 21 hours to rotate on its axis. It has an axial tilt of 5 degrees.

Composition

Lamana's crust is 31.3% oxygen, 24.1% silicon, 21.4% iron, 14.7%, 8.2% aluminium, 7.7% sulphur, 3.5% other metals, and 3.8% other elements. It is very fertile, with many organic chemicals in the rock.

Lamana is quite tectonically active, with around 1100 volcanoes currently active on its surface.

Surface

The surface of Lamana is 60% water, and 0.2% ice. At the equator, the temperature can reach 42°, but the average for the surface is 29°.

The tectonic activity has created many volcano chains and rich, lava-infused areas.

Atmosphere

Lamana's atmosphere is 70% nitrogen, 24% oxygen and 5.8% argon. It contains quite a large amount of gaseous hydrogen cyanide in its atmosphere, toxic to animals not accustomed to the environment. This condenses at the poles, so must be constantly emitted by the Tachus forests.

Biosphere

Lamana is rich in life. 80% of dry land is covered in forest, and many animals dwell in the sea. The major groups of organism are:

Satellites

Lamana is around 100,000 kilometres from Bassk, a Mars-sized planet. They orbit each other, causing large tides and rotational stabilisation.

Bassk hosts microbial life.
