====== Planet Prazoa =====
Prazoa is a world located within [[locations:secunda_major]] System, within the Celesse the Star Bird constellation. The planet like the system is affiliated with the [[shards:ndc]], and the planet itself was a product of [[guide:planet_creation:artificial_planet]]
===== History =====
Within the early times of the current years, the [[corp:mining_guild:start]], along with certain members of the [[shards:ndc]] Government began the plan to create a planet. After careful calculations are done by AI, and the thinking community, besides the careful use of technology to transport and push “Ingredients’ to the proper place within the orbit of the [[locations:secunda_major|Star]] and a minor bit of waiting, Prazoa came into existence. ((Please use the [[guide:planet_creation:artificial_planet|link]] above to read how Planets could be artificially made using PM  tech and magic.))

After the life seed bombed the world, and plants formed and the cities built ((Rendered easier thanks to prefabricated houses and built ones)). Farms were created, as well as Hub towns and so Jobs soon formed as well as industry. Ports were created at the edges of the land to support fishing. 
===== World =====
=== Atmosphere ===
[[wp>Atmosphere_of_Earth#Stratification|Stratification]] The planet’s atmosphere is composed of three major parts, which are nitrogen, oxygen, and argon. Nitrogen is set at 78.09%, oxygen 20.95%, and argon 0.93%. Because the planet has water, water vapor accounts for roughly 0.25% of the atmosphere by mass. The water vapor concentration varies significantly from around 10 ppm by volume in the coldest portions of the atmosphere to as much as 5% by volume in hot, humid air masses. Besides argon, other gasses within the atmosphere are neon, helium, krypton, and xenon.

Other remaining gasses that can be found but are being dealt with are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone. All of the gasses give an atmospheric mass of about 5.15×1018 kg, three-quarters of which are within about 11 km ((6.8 mi; 36,000 ft)) of the surface. 

Leaving the planet, the atmosphere becomes thinner and thinner with increasing altitude, with no definite boundary between the atmosphere and outer space. The Kármán line, at 100 km (62 mi), or 1.57% of the world's radius, is often used as the border between the atmosphere and outer space. Atmospheric effects become noticeable during atmospheric reentry of Starships at an altitude of around 120 km (75 mi). Several layers can be distinguished in the atmosphere, based on characteristics such as temperature and composition.

===== World Info =====
This section deals with the planet and all of the important information.

==== Infrastructure ====
Prazoa despite its youth has a advanced Infrastructure for its own use.

[[infrastructure:prazoa_infrastructure]]
==== Flora and Fauna ====
Prazoa is a planet thats extremely rich in Flora and Fauna, as a result of cloning and cultivation.

[[Prazoa:flora_fauna]]

===== People ====
The local population are the citizens of the [[shards:ndc:|NDC]] just like any other planet in the territory. They are hardworking people, willing to work as merchants, news reporters, law enforcement, and farmers, etc.  Of course, as the planet is in [[locations:secunda_major]] asteroid mining is still a profession that can be employed in.


==== RP Opportunities ====
Characters can experience island life where they live on an island based on the Hawaii islands, or they can have their private island where they can build their own house and relax inside or on the outside. Or perhaps they are a farmer or prospective farmer they can grow their crops, or raise their animals which can be bred or killed for food.

There are many opportunities on Prazoa for characters to roleplay and live in.

One opportunity is that their former hometown was overpopulated, so they had gotten the chance to leave and find something better for themselves or their family. This may not just be for Prazoan cities, but all the worlds not only in the NDC, but everywhere.
===== Locations =====
==== Cities ====
The Cities of Prazoa are primarily the capital cities of each continent. The Hubs are technically towns, but mostly there were apartments for Farmers to rest in depending on distance, and staff that organizes the farmer's markets and shopkeepers.  And [[city:locations:Pleasure Palace]] for other recreational activities.

<nspages cities:prazoa:: -r -h1 -textPages="" -actualTitle -naturalOrder -nbCol=2 -exclude -hideNoPages>
==== Hubs ====
Hubs are the Prazoan equivalent of Towns, where people go to live, but the Hubs also services Farmers, where they can buy and sell livestock, and plants to breed, and make money as well as food. 

<nspages prazoa:location:hubs:: -r -h1 -textPages="" -actualTitle -naturalOrder -nbCol=2 -exclude -hideNoPages>

==== Sea Ports ====
Sea Ports unlike Spaceports are locations that allow for Harbors where seagoing vessels can park. There is processing of fish and other marine life.  Though  Eclipse does have a Seaport of its very own, the two major Seaports, are Sunny Port, and Oaklen Bay.

<nspages :prazoa:location:seaport:: -r -h1 -textPages="" -actualTitle -naturalOrder -nbCol=2 -exclude -hideNoPages>
==== Islands ====
Islands litter the Prazoan surface from Eclipse to Private islands that can be sold.

===== Production =====
Prazoa itself has an abundance of farming, and it has an abundance of places that can manufacture things this gives the planet a chance for [[prazoa:production]]
===== Local Rumors =====
Prazoa is an artificial world that was created unnaturally, which the rumors will persist.  It was beautiful and had beauty to behold. It was a planet where Fauna isn’t huge, or potentially trying to kill you.
==== Festivals ====
Within the Cities, and the Hubs of Prazoa, there could be Festival activities going on for the morale of the civilians and military alike.  Of course, NDC’s [[shard:ndc:culture:Sanctuary Day]] will be celebrated here with the full events planned to happen. The other festivals are listed below.

Love Day is for the Couples on not only Prazoa but in the NDC at Large.  The Festival that caters to couples allows them to go through a few activities where they have to work as a team to win prizes, as well as dancing together.  On love, day stores have a 50 percent off for couples buying something though everyone else, not a couple will have to pay full price. 
=== Bug Off! ===
This festival was created as a way to deal with the insects on the planet.  When putting fauna on the planet only a few species were used, this was primarily because of the benefits to the planets. However, because of the trade and travel that goes on, sometimes insects are caught inside ships and sometimes these are brought along and later reproduce as insects do. The Festival allows for everyone to help capture insects and is taken to where research could be done to determine where they are from and what benefit they have to the planet.
=== Spirit Evening ===
Spirits Evening is a Festival that happens in the evening of a certain day. (Halloween) Kids and certain teens dress up in costumes and go out to their neighborhoods to get candy, or if older go out to a party and dance. Most Adults have a party of their own to go to if they don’t have kids, but certain youths may go on Courage quests where they go through a scary place to retrieve something. 
=== National Museum Appreciation Day ===
National Museum Appreciation Day is a day where kids and teens can go to Museums and look through the sights to see there. They collect stamps once they have sufficiently done the required work for it which will be added to their stamp book given for the purpose. Once they have completed the collection, they will receive a medal, a gift card, and a shirt that shows their appreciation for learning.
=== Harvest Festival ===
The Harvest Festival is primarily celebrated at the Hubs. It’s to celebrate how they have successfully grown their own crops and will be able to eat without concern over there being enough food. Even though the seasons are controlled and thus winter isn’t an issue, the festival is conducted before the time that winter would logically occur.
=== Peace Celebration ===
After War is over, people all over the planet go out to celebrate it with dancing, music, and fireworks.  War is a horrible time, filled with death and fear, so to have it be over is joyous and amazing.




==== Land ==== 
At the poles in the north and south are ice-covered, this covered approximately twenty-five percent of the surface.  

The planet is divided into 5 main continents which are measured about 7,692,024 km2 ((2,969,907 sq miles)) each. Each continent is about 7,246 kilometers from each other, and much like a domino’s dot, the continents are arrayed in the pattern, with one dot, or continent in the middle and the four others around that. These aren’t the only landmass on the planet, however, as there were 8 islands.  That is visible in space, and there were an additional 127,000 individual islands that were smaller than the last; these would be set as private islands.  But they were only around the other side. All of the 127,000 islands were 1,500 miles ((2,400 kilometers)) away from the continents on all corners
==== Continents ====
The planet Prazoa, nestled within the vast expanse of space, boasts five magnificent continents, each as diverse and enchanting as the next. These continents, named Zautania, Jehenna, Ocura, Eyune, and Auroribose, stand as pillars of the planet's geographical splendor, encompassing vast landscapes and teeming with life.

==== Ocean ====
{{:user:charaa:prazoa_ocean.jpeg?400  |}}Prazoa's oceans are a breathtaking expanse of water, spanning vast distances across the planet's surface and holding within their depths a staggering volume of liquid. With an estimated capacity of approximately 326,000,000,000,000,000,000 gallons((that's 326 million trillion gallons) of the stuff (roughly 1,260,000,000,000,000,000,000 liters)), these oceans are among the largest bodies of water in the known universe, dwarfing even the most expansive seas on other worlds.

The sheer scale of Prazoa's oceans is awe-inspiring, stretching as far as the eye can see and beyond, their boundaries merging seamlessly with the horizon in every direction. From the sun-drenched shallows to the dark abyssal depths, these waters are teeming with life in all its wondrous diversity.

Beneath the surface, the ocean floor plunges to depths of around 20,100 feet, forming a labyrinthine landscape of underwater valleys, ridges, and trenches. These vast chasms are home to a myriad of marine creatures, adapted to thrive in the extreme pressures and darkness of the deep sea.

Prazoa's oceans are not merely bodies of water; they are dynamic ecosystems, supporting a rich tapestry of life from microscopic plankton to colossal whales. Coral reefs teem with vibrant colors and exotic species, while kelp forests sway gently in the currents, providing shelter and sustenance to countless marine organisms.

Throughout the oceans, the rhythm of life pulses with the ebb and flow of the tides, a timeless dance of creation and destruction. From the gentle lapping of waves against the shore to the thunderous crash of surf against rocky cliffs, the sound of the sea is a symphony of nature's own making.

Pollution, overfishing, and climate change pose significant threats to the delicate balance of these marine ecosystems, highlighting the urgent need for conservation and sustainable management practices.


=== Arusi Trench ===
The Arusi Trench, situated approximately 500 kilometers east of the surrounding islands and continents, stands as a testament to the awe-inspiring forces of nature that shape the planet's oceans. As the deepest oceanic trench on Prazoa, it commands respect and fascination, drawing explorers and scientists alike to its depths.

Characterized by its circular shape, the Arusi Trench spans an impressive length of 2,550 kilometers (1,580 miles) and boasts a width of 69 kilometers (43 miles). However, it is the trench's staggering depth that truly sets it apart, plummeting to a staggering 20,000 meters below the ocean's surface. At this depth, the water column above exerts an unimaginable pressure of 1,086 bars (15,750 psi), surpassing the standard atmospheric pressure at sea level by more than 1,071 times.

In the lightless depths of the Arusi Trench, the laws of physics take on a surreal quality, with water density increasing by nearly 5% under the crushing weight of the immense pressure. Despite the extreme conditions, life persists in the form of resilient organisms specially adapted to thrive in the abyssal depths.

The temperature at the bottom of the trench hovers between 1 to 4 °C (34 to 39 °F), creating a cold and unforgiving environment that further challenges any would-be explorers. Yet, despite the inhospitable conditions, the Arusi Trench teems with life, from bizarre deep-sea creatures to delicate coral formations that cling to the rocky slopes.

The formation of the Arusi Trench can be traced back to the birth of the [[moon:arusi]], a celestial body whose gravitational influence played a pivotal role in shaping the planet's geology. Over  geological activity, the trench gradually deepened and widened, carving out a vast chasm in the ocean floor that now stands as the deepest part of Prazoa's ocean.

As a testament to the ever-changing nature of the planet's oceans, the Arusi Trench has taken its place as the reigning champion of depth, surpassing even the renowned Low Trench in its sheer vertical descent. Its enigmatic depths continue to inspire wonder and curiosity, beckoning adventurers to probe its mysteries and unlock the secrets hidden within its fathomless embrace.
 

=== Low Trench ===
The Low Trench, nestled just a kilometer south of the surrounding islands, emerges as a geological marvel that captivates the imagination with its unique crescent shape and formidable dimensions. Spanning approximately 100 kilometers in length and 40 kilometers in width, this trench serves as a testament to the dynamic forces at play beneath the ocean's surface.

Despite its name, the depths of the Low Trench are anything but shallow, plunging to a depth of 10,984 meters (36,037 feet) below the surface. While not as extreme as its counterpart, the Arusi Trench, the pressure exerted within its confines remains significant, though lighter in comparison. This relative decrease in pressure creates a slightly more hospitable environment for life to thrive, fostering unique ecosystems adapted to the trench's depths.

One of the defining characteristics of the Low Trench is its warmer temperature compared to deeper trenches like the Arusi trench. The waters within the trench carry a gentle warmth, creating a microclimate that supports a diverse array of marine life. This milder temperature, coupled with the reduced pressure, allows for a greater diversity of species to inhabit the trench's depths, from deep-sea fish to elusive cephalopods.

The crescent shape of the Low Trench adds to its intrigue, with its curved contours carving a graceful arc across the ocean floor.
