Geography and Climate
The geography of Vasud-hara was an intricate mosaic of deep oceans, extensive archipelagos, and scattered continents. The planet's oceans were remarkably deep, creating vertical habitats extending miles below the surface. Despite the vast expanses of water, the remaining 32% of the surface consisted of lush landmasses, including verdant forests, expansive plains, and towering mountain ranges. The planet experienced a mild and stable climate due to its balanced axial tilt and the moderating influence of its vast oceans.
- Equatorial Regions: Warm, teeming with vibrant coral reefs and marine forests.
- Polar Regions: Colder but ice-free due to geothermal activity and a thick atmospheric blanket.
Technological Advancements
Despite its eventual destruction, Vasud-hara was a beacon of technological advancement. The planet's civilizations achieved remarkable progress in various fields, including engineering, and space exploration. The Men created their first light speed engine , teleportation ring , and the fleet of Ships which eventually helped them in escaping the destruction of planet.
Causes of Destruction
-
Planetary Core Stagnation: The core of Vasud-hara ceased to rotate, causing the planet's magnetic field to vanish. This left the planet vulnerable to solar flares, leading to the destruction of its ecology, though not the planet itself.
-
Red Giant Phase of Sol: As Sol entered the red giant phase, it engulfed Vasud-hara, resulting in the planet's complete destruction.
