PLANET OCULUS

Third planet from the center of the Omnus system. Homeworld of the Geo, Sol, Terrus, and SATA Fragment sentient species. Has trade relations with Modus and Duon, such as offworld metals/minerals (Modes), offworld honey/waxsteel (Vym), specialized offworld ocean-vent compounds (Omi), and skysilks/cloudgems (Picci). Extremely hostile relations with Planet Nox, and the Numians/Lulsus following an attempted invasion by the Numians.

Biomes are very arid, and are primarily mixed shrub, juniper/sage woodland, and taiga aspen/pine forests. A broad freshwater ocean covers most of the planet. Temperatures are medium-low between seasons, with a severe drop in temperature on winter sides and a severe rise in temperature on summer sides that causes mass seasonal migrations of the various Oculus species. Each seasonal shift lasts approximately 3 years due to slow axis tilt.
