Franklin is planet
system orbiting a yellow G-class star in the Inner Region. Despite being
slightly warmer than Sol, the parent star is less luminous.
The system's primary world is tormented by constant wind storms
brought on by the planets fast rotation. Hurricane force
winds can start out of nowhere and last for weeks, even months.
Despite being habitable to humans, the planet was often
overlooked as a location for permanent colonization due the
winds.
Eventually a society
was built on the planet, during its height the winds were used
as tool for producing energy. As Franklin's population
grew, a need for a more suitable home started to develop.
Franklin's leaders started a terraforming project on a planet
just 3.5 light years away, they named the new world
Franklin
Home. When the ferraforming of Franklin Home was
completed, large sections of the population were relocated
there.
Franklin's population
has been declining. Cities of dome shaped buildings (built
that way to withstand the high winds) sit empty. Legions
of wind turbines that once powered the planet are crumbling.
