DT Virginis

 

DT Virginis is a planetary system orbiting a red M-class star.  The system lies in the Virgo Constellation of the Inner/Sol Region.

 
DT Virginis is small system with a meager population.  The system's inhabitants are mostly scientists and geologist who study the planets surface.  A few, scattered mining industries also exist on the primary planet's surface.

 

Numerous terraforming projects have been attempted, these would transform the planet's hellish atmopshere into a more habitable entity.  The projects have all ultimately failed, this has left the surface only slightly terraformed.

DT Virginis B
The system's primary world is a hot world with a relatively thick, carbon dioxide atmosphere.  The majority of the surface slightly too warm for unprotected humans.  Large oceans of sulfurized water are scattered across the surface.  This combined with the warm, unbreathable atmosphere create a hellish enviroment.
