Fayis

Fayis is the verdent, tropical homeworld of the Tassir, one of two members races of the Helix Alliance that both originated on moons orbiting the gas giant Gahux in the solar system Hylon.

Surface Geography
Fayis' surface is approximately 75% water, ranging from huge tracts of shallows to deep, lightless trenches. Encompassing the rest of the surface are two mega-continents that exist in the temperate and equatorial regions of the planet, and are as such covered in thick, lush flora and diverse, often large fauna. Fayis is smaller and lighter than its sister moon Kas, and is subject to approximately 8% less gravity than the galactic standard, allowing both flora and fauna to grow quite immense. Its landscape is largely composed of hills rather than mountains, and large, flat expanses of tropical marsh and riverbeds. This is mirrored beneath the waves, and while Fayis may only have two continents, it has an usually large amount of natural shallows, resplendent with coral formations and marine life. Fayis contains little metal or ore, but has quite a high amount of fossil fuels, given the level of vegetation.

Atmosphere
Fayis' atmosphere is rich in oxygen, with the gas making up over 24% of the atmosphere. Other than that, nitrogen is the prime gas, at over 74%, with the remaining 2% being a mixture of gases.

Settlements
Fayis' primary city on the continents is Ranac, which serves as a great port of trade, business and politics for both races. As it is situated near the sea, it is connected with the other great underwater Tassir cities, which, built on the expansive shallows of the planet, ring around the two continents. Unlike the Ruun, the Tassir have no problem with cramped environments, and these underwater cities feature gigantic, honeycomb complexes where living space is quite small, but publicly maintained spaces are everywhere.
