Edenia

Edenia, also called Eden, is the fifth planet in the Lucida System, located in the Fifth Quadrant (also known as Terra Sector) of the Milky Way. It is the homeworld of the Edenian people, an ancient and advanced race known for an inborn affinity to the mysterious element Edenite and making the earliest advancements in technologies such as the warp drive and time travel.

Edenia was destroyed in the Edenian Crisis 4 cosmic years prior to year 2987, which translates to over 900 million years ago. A small fragment of the planet survived the catastrophe, in particular the Anteras Sector of Eden. What remained of the Edenians colonized the fragment of their homeworld and reforged it as an artificial planet. For thousands of years, the planet has been covered in a highly potent energy shield, cutting off any exterior contact and essentially sealing away their knowledge and power from the rest of outer space.

Overview
Edenia is an ancient planet, with its formation recorded to have dated back around 7.4 billion years ago. The planet is temperate and hosts large swathes of verdant forests on its surface and has a similar surface gravity and atmosphere composition to that of Earth. It is also a planet of many rivers and lakes, most of the terrain of Edenia is connected to one single continent with water taking up only around 40% of the surface. As Edenia developed over time, it became home to many different species unique only to Edenia, such as the Corvex, Kedegan and Irus. The earliest Edenians are said to have began their rise 4 billion years ago, evolving at a rapid rate which is said to be largely due to the mystical element Edenite residing within the planet.

Edenia, as of the year 2987, is a small fragment of what remained of the planet after the Edenian Crisis. Its orbit, gravity, atmosphere and ecosystems have been sustained artificially by the surviving Edenians. The energy shield that surrounds the artificial planet isolates it from external contact, regardless of this numerous attempts to come into contact with the Edenians that have been made by the Collective of Autonomous Systems but the Edenians keep to themselves.
