Planetary Information
Covered by active volcanoes, Altais was settled for its large amount of radioactive ores. These ores were spewed out of the planet's surface by the volcanos. Within a century of humanity's arrival, a small meteor slammed into the ocean near a tectonic fault line. The resulting earthquakes lasted for decades and destroyed several major cities.[1]
Since that time, the volcanoes have continued to spew greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere, raising the planet's surface temperature by twelve degrees in 500 years. Thousands of native plant and animal species have been driven to extinction by the severe climate change, and the jungles and prairies that attracted the original settlers have been replaced by rock-strewn wastelands.[1]
