Zavijva (Beta Viginis)
is a planet system orbiting a white/yellow f-class star in the Inner Region.
The system consists of two planets plus a thick inner asteroid belt that orbits
close to the sun.
Despite orbiting over 2 AU from the star, the primary world is
the closest planet sun sitting at the edge of the inner asteroid
belt. The planet's atmosphere is dominated by carbon
dioxide, though early forms of mosses are slowly increasing the
levels of oxygen. Genetically engineered bacteria could
expedite the oxygenation process greatly, though no government
or corporation has undertaken the task.
Intense winds, and
lack of water are the typical reason no terraforming operations
on the planet have been studied. These factors could also
limit how advanced the indigenous life will become in the
future.
With the lack of the
free oxygen in the atmosphere, the planet's colonists can't
breath with a breathing apparatus. They live in enclosed
structures scattered across the planet.
