Planetary Info
A relatively young world, Athenry is covered by active volcanoes and tropical plant life. The thick atmosphere allows these plants to flourish. Most of the human colonists live on high mountain peaks where the air is thinner and cooler, if only by a few degrees. Athenry is too close to its star for ice caps to form, so most of the water is free-flowing and frequently rains for the lush tropical plains below the mountains.
Most of the plants and animals on Athenry have medicinal value. This led to the foundation of the Athenry Institute of Medicine during the Star League era. Unfortunately it didn't survive the First Succession War; A nuclear strike destroyed it. After the Jihad colonists found the ruins of the Institute and uncovered them. They also uncovered ruins from an earlier time, but no one knows who created the ruins under the ruins of the Institute. These ruins, the "City of the Lost", have become a popular tourist attraction.[1]
