more heat, less light
Added 2025-06-24 19:32:51 +0000 UTC"Proboscidean culture developed from the conditions of its homeworld: an hot gaseous exoplanet famous for being less reflective than a piece of coal (and infamous for hiding an unknown number of prisons, gas mines, weapons facilities, and other industries that benefit from its essentially opaque atmosphere. The Proboscidii call their homeworld Yauhaahsh, a phrase meaning both "our gift" and "more heat, less light."
-Kepler-1b, SpacerWiki
"...After a disastrous initial contact with Local System ambassadors in 5649 GE, Yauhaahsh underwent a dramatic push towards public relations rehabilitation. Initially notorious for being a hellish black-site prison-planet, Yauhaahsh has become known as a thriving cultural center of xenotourism and industrial development, with many black-site prisons shuttling blindly throughout its primordial and groundless darkness. "

"Beneath the luxurious, loamy darkness of its silicate atmosphere, spacers must use sophisticated radar and satellite coordination--conditions on Kepler-1b can be so electromagnetically anomalous that spacers are often advised against using standard issue Navtech--in order to find their way to their destinations. The planet, with its hyperstrict security and impossibly hostile weather conditions, has begun to develop a reputation for its wild night life, especially popular in the Sensdep scene. "It's like the whole planet's got a latex hood over it's face," said one clubgoer.
"Hooo, boy... you know what they say, man," said an anonymous Drone that agreed to be interviewed poolside. "What happens on Yauhaahsh... hey, you're not filming my face, right?"
