[-Planet Sheet-]
-Name: Lapius
-Age: 200 million years (estimated)
-Atmospheric Density: 5 atms.
-Atmospheric Composition: Hydrogen, nitrogen, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, silane
-Average Temperature: 1,000° C
-Circumference: 38,025 km
-Primary (What star/planet it orbits):
-Natural Satellites: N/A
+Weather Patterns: Near-constant electrical storms in the upper atmosphere, relatively calm weather on the surface with occasional acid rain storms.
+Appearance: The majority of the surface of Lapius is coarse, volcanic desert. Lakes of liquid ammonia exist in polar regions and in subterranean caves.
+History: Archaeological digs on Lapius indicate that several centuries ago, the planet was subject to a terraforming attempt by a foreign power. The experiment was devastating to the fledgling planet's ecosystem, ravaging the atmosphere and geology, and leaving a hellish world in its wake.
+Other: Unstable geology makes sturdy construction a valuable commodity.
[-Solar System Sheet-]
-Star Name: Ferrus
-System Name: Ferrus
-Life Stage (Main sequence, giant, etc): Main sequence
-Planets: 5
-Spectral Type: G2V
[-Species Sheet-]
-Name: Lapian
-Homeworld: Lapius
-Physical Appearance: Large ursine creatures with semi-reflective black crystalline skin. They have large faces with glowing eyes in varying shades of red or yellow. All four paws end in a set of 5 claws, which allow them to grip objects and climb steeper surfaces than many species can. When standing on their back legs, they can reach heights of up to 9', while they average between 3.5' and 4.5' when standing on all fours.
-Average Lifespan: 300
-Protean Alignment: Neutral
-Elemental Base: Silicon
-Average ESPER level: 3
-Total Population: Approx. 15 billion
+History: Lapian recorded history begins approximately 4,000 years ago, when various tribes began to develop into feudal city-states, and then into full-fledged nations. Shortly after entering their industrial age, one of the nations stumbled upon the wreckage of what was decided to be an extraterrestrial vessel. For years after, by reverse-engineering pieces of the vessel, this empire managed to one-by-one bring the other nations under its control either directly (through conquest) or indirectly (through vassalizing and puppetting the leadership) and unite them under one banner.
Among the greatest discoveries made from the frigate were a terraforming system (which led to the aforementioned decision that the planet had been modified), and a faster-than-light system which has taken years to duplicate. Using the technology from the wrecked frigate, along with a combination of technologies invented by Lapian engineers, the Imperium has now reached the point where they're ready to reach out into the stars and test their mettle against the rest of the galaxy.
+Other: Their hide is generally bullet-resistant, but repeated impacts can shatter the skin (which takes a long time to regenerate back, assuming the shattered part isn't completely severed). They mostly communicate via infrasound (below 20 Hz) though they can also communicate via higher frequencies. They can perceive sounds in a range from 3 Hz to 10k Hz.
