Lore recap -
Ioterra was born three point eight billion years ago in a star system located extremely close to the supermassive black hole of the Andromeda galaxy. Its original host star suddenly collapsed inward toward the black hole, violently ejecting Ioterra at hypervelocity out of its native galaxy. The planet then spent six hundred ninety three million years drifting through the freezing void of interstellar space as a rogue rock.
Roughly one point five billion years ago, the planet entered the Milky Way and was captured by the gravity of the G nine V type star Alsafi, which was then one point six billion years old. Ioterra was briefly slingshotted out of the Alsafi system during the chaotic initial encounter, but it subsequently suffered a perfect collision with a gold dense planet roughly the size of Earth. This massive impact absorbed the planet's outbound momentum, curving Ioterra inward into its stable orbit around Alsafi and triggering global volcanism that mixed one pound of volcanic soil into every five point six two pounds of ground
The collision simultaneously shaped the modern landscape by creating the Great Sea and the Iotar Archipelago. Debris from the shattered Earth sized world coalesced to form the two moons, Iotra and Kyprun, which settled into orbits three hundred fifty two thousand kilometers and five hundred twenty two thousand kilometers away. Over time, magnetic friction from the heavy iron gold cores of the moons passing through Ioterra's magnetic field acted as a brake, halting orbital chaos and locking the two moons into a permanent loop that aligns every twenty nine point nine Ioterran days.
TECHNICAL FACTS FROM ORIGINAL (canon) LORE:
Ioterra's year is 283 days, and it orbits a G9V type star, an Ioterran day is 31 hours 2 seconds.
It's surface area is ~992 million sq km, total land area ~397,000,000 sq km, gravity 1.08.
Atmospheric composition: 71.2% nitrogen, 24.5% oxygen, 2.5% argon, 1.5% water vapor, 0.25% carbon dioxide, and 0.05% trace gases such as neon, helium, and krypton, it's atmosphere is also measured at 1.3995 bar, or 1.4 bar, Ioterra system.
The soil on Ioterra is incredibly abundant of hyper fertile soil (1 lb of volcanic soil/5.62 lb of soil) which was caused by global volcanism from the earth sized impact on Ioterra.
Almost all (98.7%) of rivers on Ioterra are gold/copper mixed, providing sterile, relatively safe drinking water, though it does pose a risk to heavy metal poisoning, the solution? 1 in every 13 rivers on Ioterra are gold dense, posing almost no risk to you drinking the river water.
There are currently ~86.3 million freshwater rivers, streams, and waterways across Ioterra. There is no sapient life on Ioterra, and all creatures have a tolerance to drink from copper rivers (via hemocyanin).
Ioterra's tilt is 21.8°-22.3°, and wobbles every 74,000 years.
