Etax

Etax is a large planet in the Xios System, orbiting the blue giant Uzeto. There are many deserts on Etax, making up about one third of the planet. Large, red crystals grow on the surface of Etax rapidly, some even making crystal “forests”. Large plants are rare in most areas. Etax has a single ocean, littered with islands. The planet is very rocky, with few flat areas. Flora is predominantly red here, along with many animals, though many animals are white or grey instead. The planet has relatively high gravity, and does have seasons. It has two ice caps at the north and south. Etax is the homeworld of the Etaxians, a great galactic civilization, part of the Orion Shield.
