User:144PA/Hayde

Hayde is a large terrestrial planet located 25 lightyears away from Dosaic. Hayde was discovered by the Covenant long ago in it's early years but it wasn't anything special because it was thought to be one of the many dead planets in the galaxy. It's scorched surface and dry air hid what would come to be a later organization's more powerful weapons. The JE's desire to expand brought them to Hayde where they came into contact with the Gol. The Empire decided to bring the Gol into the fold and conquer Hayde as their own world.

Description
Hayde is a large planet, therefore it's gravity is much greater than Earth's. The atmosphere is very thin and breathing without an apparatus is a chore. The surface is constantly scorched by the suns in the binary system where Hayde is located and water is a rarity on the planet's surface. Underground, however, there are caves and tunnels that hold underground lakes, vegetation, and creatures. The planet is only able to support the toughest of creatures so many stay away from it.

Importance
Despite it's desolate outward appearance, Hayde is a very important planet. It is used as a breeding ground for the Gol, who seem to only reproduce en masse on the planet. Hayde is also used as a secret haven. It's scorched surface hides the many underground bases constructed by the JE.
