Fireton is a system
with multiple planets that orbits an orange, K-class giant star located over 400
light years from Earth. The system lies in
the Ursa Minor Constellation of the Polaris Region.
Fireton's primary planet is a terrestrial world
with a vast endless desert. The desert is
flat and sandy, it is likely the remains of a
once great ocean that covered much of the
surface. As the parent star grew into an
orange giant, the ocean disappeared, leaving
behind a long river called the Zaza River, the
last remains of the ocean.
The
Zaza River is easily the planet's most notable
feature. The Zaza river carves a wide
valley that stretches north and south across the
planet's surface. When viewed from orbit,
the river is a green vein cutting through the
brown desert. Industrialized cities and
irrigated farmlands stretch along the length of
the river. Nearly the entire population
lives inside the river's valley.
The
Zaza River and a group of small seas is the
planet's last remaining bodies of water.
As the orange giant sun continues to grow, the
water will continue evaporate. It's
estimated in less than a million years, all
liquid water will be gone from the planet's
surface.
