Water: Steam Atmosphere
Minerals: Rich
Lifeforms: Sparse
Temperature: V.Hot
Abnormalities: Surface life, Unusual geographies.
Planet 2 is of 3 standard Earth masses with rugged terrain, indicative of possible artificial structures on planetary surface. Due to extremely high temperatures, all water present on planet have been heated to a gas which permeates the planet's thick sulfur atmosphere. Gravity of planet is high due to the planet's large mass and size. Atmosphere consists of compounds of sulfur and chlorine. It is thick and extremely corrosive. Extremophile lifeforms have been detected and identified on the planet surface in the form of small insect-like creatures each about 2mm in size. Planet's core is molten and tectonic activity is Earth-like.
Planetary evaluation initiated.
Evaluation concluded.
Planet unsuitable for human habitation. Initiating departure program.
Caution. Damage detected to ship. Automated damage control initiated.

False alarm. No damage detected. All systems are functional.
Cause: 55% probability, malfunction caused by close proximity of ship to system's star. High levels of radiation alerted damage control.

Epic Tales Variation: Aegis Kan
[Winner of the 2021 Writhathon Challenge] Volume 1 Powerless - without ability, influence, or power. That's what Aegis Kan previously known as Terrence Brown, felt when his world was invaded and his soul has whisked away to Gaia. Born as the firstborn of a Powerful Duke, Aegis finds himself in an entirely new world with magic and different paths to power; however, Aegis Kan is tasked with a mission as a Harbinger by the being, [Beyond], who invaded his world, took his soul, and chucked him and others out into the universe. Their task? Spread the System to the myriad races. This is his story, his Epic Tales. Volume 2 Syn Aegis and his cousin Amaya find themselves sent to the world of Prima on one mission and one mission alone. Conquer the world and add it the dukedom and Empires ever-growing resources. However, something weird happened to the planet right before their arrival. An overlap of the same world but darker and a merging caused by the shifting of realities have caused a nightmare Aegis has long forgotten to reappear. They... tHey... THEY... THe NOX ARE COMING! This story can be considered a slow burn and the everything is explained as the action commences and the story moves along. It is mostly told from Aegis perspective however there are several times when a side character perspective of an event matters so I'll put it in. Btw the first volume is a bit spotty as I am a new writer and still trying to find my rhythm. I believe it picks up speed around chapter 13-16ish Release Schedule: 4 chapters a week Wed-Sat 7AM GMT -6 Chapter length between 2000-3500. I try to stay around 2500-3000 but somethings the chapter just doesnt have a good cut off. Not all tags will affect the first volume and more will be added as the world is expanded.
