This is a nearly idyllic world for humans. There is no intelligent life on the planet, but many known species of plant and animal life are found there. The planets atmosphere is nearly identical to Earth, but a bit richer in Oxygen content. The only reason the name of the planet is known is that due to the only artificial structure on the planet surface, a small monument in an alien language. The language fits similar writings to many proto-languages of different worlds but has yet to be properly decoded in full. Researchers were able to make out the planets name to be Soteria. Efforts to translate the symbols and discover the reason for the monument are ongoing. The Blazing Umbra Station orbits this planet.
The planet shows some unusual properties, namely the presence of byproducts of protomatter being found throughout the ecosystem. These byproducts are now inert and pose no threat to life but it does indicate the protomatter was somehow present or involved in the planets formation. This also fits with geological surveys which place the planets age as being somewhere in the 2-3 billion years old age, which is far too young to have developed the forms of life present on the planet. It is possible the planet could be the result of a Genesis Device having been used to create it in its current state.
The Nysa Facility was built on the planet surface to facilitate study of the planet as well as provide support for the Blazing Umbra Station, however, it was destroyed to prevent a Borg invasion. The crater left by the destruction of the facility is being left as a memorial to those lost. The current support facility on the planet is Nimbus Station an Atlantis Class City-Ship.
Admiral Lance Thomas also used drones to excavate a hide-away for himself at the top of Nabu Summit. It serves as his place to meditate, it has enough room at the top for 2 runabout-sized ships to land, but has no forms of technology. It only has simple fire pit surrounded by stone benches and small shelter made out of stone which has its own fire pit in the center. A supply of wood and other such things is also kept inside the simple shelter.
Soteria Alpha - Wanderer
- Size
- Radius of 2373 km (2.2x Luna)
- Orbital Period
- 34 Earth Days / 9.2 Soteria Days (1.21x Luna)
- Rotational Period
- 42 Earth Days / 11.3 Soteria Days (1.5x Luna)
The planet has a single moon, about the size of Earth's moon only slightly smaller. The moon is highly active geologically and quite hot. The moon's intense geomagnetic field interacts with the magnetic field of Soteria causing a robust protection from solar and subspace radiation.
