Saharamanji;
Is a large planet that one could compare size to the Earth's System of Neptune, it has an atmosphere very much like Earth's in many ways. The surface is 65% water with the rest being land mass, the gravity is 5 percent greater then that of earth so not very noticeable at all and easy to adjust to in a short period. The land masses starting at it's poles and moving to the equator consist of thick large jungles at each of it's poles, transitioning to thin band of savannas, before turning into deserts which bands a very wide section on both sides of the planet's equator. This is believed due to two yellow binary suns in this system, Saharamanji is in just the right orbit for these two suns making it just hot enough for it's surface conditions to be as they are. The planets rotation is a 144 hour cycle 72 hours of daylight followed by 72 hours of night, the days get very hot and the night are cool but are warm due to the heat adsorbed during the planet's day cycle releasing it's heat slowly during the night cycle. There is a region in the southern hemisphere that is still unstable with volcanic activities and lava flows and minor earthquakes.
Rotating around Saharamanji are three moons, one of which is in a stationary orbit around Saharamanji which appears as a consistent full moon during the planets three day night cycle, the planet
there for is never really in total darkness. This moon is referred to as the "Stable Moon" due to it's consistent position one could use it to navigate if one becomes lost or in case of navigational equipment failure. from time to time generally once a year there can be three full moons which really lights up the planet on both of it's sides, more often it only likely to have just two full moons about every three months
The planet is pock marked with meteor craters from very small to massively large craters made during it's earlier development when it was pounded with asteroids, creating massive rings of very tall and rugged mountain ranges, many of these mountain are so tall that respirators are need to function in these areas. From orbit you can see the rings of mountains everywhere with some over lapping of these rings even in the oceans rings holding water in them like crystal blue bowls to rings of islands positioned in deeper waters. The only areas to which no craters can been seen is the very deep ocean areas but it is suspected that craters are there just that their covered up by the ocean.
There are two types of deserts on Saharamanji. The one outside of all the craters is rough rocky flats spotted with shrub bush, the rocks littering all over were tossed from all the impact craters ranging from massive boulders to pebbles and sand, most of the rocks are fist size rocks as scattered covering, the rest is a pebble carpet covering the rest of these desert ground flats. Deserts within the mountain rings, containing sand, a very white sand from the air they look like massive large bowls of milk with a catch, in these white sands lives a species of creatures called "Snarks" for a lack of a better imagination from the only surveying team to ever visit this place. "Snarks" basically a creature much like the water creature of Earth's sharks just these live in the sand. The survey team using the two words of Sand and Shark they came up with Snark and of course each of these bowls of sand could hold a different variations of Snarks, not much is known with the limited survey. These pockets or bowls of sand as they are and are referred to as "The Bowls"
In these bowls the sand shifts around a lot exposing different areas of the rocky bottoms with pockets of a black based plant with thick blue reeds, these areas are safe from the Snarks until the winds shift and begins to refill these areas in like an incoming tide, this is how it is believed the Snarks survive with the constant shifting of the sand, trapping other desert creatures that come in to eat on the plants.
The jungles at each of the pole were roughly surveyed from space showing the rough and rugged mountain rings with large lakes of water pooled in the middle, to large areas of mangroves and their twisting winding canals going down to the oceans, to jungle swamps, to include jungle mountain rings in the oceans holding their own bowls of water, plus rings of islands in the deeper waters. Nothing is known about the plant life or the wildlife in these areas. It's believed that the two jungles being so separated by vast amount of desert and oceans, would have their own different species of plants and animals.
The oceans again covering 65% of the planet surface. All of the coastal areas have shallow flats of water stretching out some three hundred Kilometers or more, the depth of these waters is roughly one to three meters deep making them a clear crystal blue with sanding bottoms containing lots of small plants and aquatic life. People started to refer to these areas of water as "The Shallows" until it starts sloping downwards to the deeper waters of the oceans.To which nothing is known about these waters or it's depth let alone what it totally contains.
There are lakes as well from large round lakes with crater center peaks as small islands, to very small oasis spotting the deserts and savannas here and there, looking like tiny little emeralds from space. Here to it is believed that each of these oasis are to have their own micro eco system. This speculation is from aerial observation of what is to believe are game trails going in and out of these areas. This is also including the jungle mountain lakes as well.
The region of volcanic activity is a very large area, thought is that an asteroid impact this area creating a large lava lake in the middle of this section with a large mountain range around it. From there long and wide fissures with lava flows within them, from orbit it looks like a fractured mirror with red glowing light behind with a glowing red hole in the middle. Around this region are volcanos as well adding to the lava flow. Ash clouds in this area make the region below them very dark under them, making some of this region looking like some form of hell in reality.
The only surveying team to ever come to this place only did a very rough and short survey due to the lost of a couple of their surveyors and researchers to the Snarks in The Bowls and a few other creatures cutting their stay short. Due to the location of Saharamanji and it's small limited system being so off from the path from shipping lanes there was no reason to send any survey teams to be dispatched to the system. So there is very much left to understand about this place and that around it. Saharamanji is the largest planet in this system with five other smaller planets with moons with a large asteroid belt surrounding the everything in this system like a very large ring. Nothing is known about those planet and moons to include the asteroid ring as well.
Saharamanji sat in space for a few years drawing no interest from anyone, in fact many space charts don't even have it placed on the maps, most map makers didn't even bother to place it on their maps for is was to much out of the way to be of any interest. Then one day it was bought some years back from the Galactic Government Real Estate and Survey Office for a fraction of the cost of the original survey by a man name Alvin "Al" Styler a man that no one knows anything about.
Shortly there after a small spaceport was established everyone there started calling it "Styler's Point"
