Tau Puppis

 

Tau Puppis is a planetary system orbiting a orange K-class star.  The system lies in the Puppis Constellation of the Achernar Region.

 
Scorched under the power of the system's sun with over 3 times Sol's mass, the Tau Puppis System's primary planet is an endless desert world.  The planet's rocky, fractured surface gives way to long, deep valleys.

 

The planet's population lives hidden in those valleys, protected from the intense sun. They built cities covered under thick concrete domes, this protected them from the parent star's powerful solar radiation.
