Symbiosis Natural History

Symbiosis World Data</u>
      Planetary System - Unknown

      Parent Star - Akasha  A 15 billion year old, type M red dwarf, 3rd generation star, orbiting 7,000 light years from a supermassive black hole ln a relatively dense globular cluster.

      Home World - Tikal, 14 billion year old world it has a rough orbital period of .79 years, and a  surface gravity of .89 Gs.  An atmosphere composed of 46% N2, 31% O2, 14% CO2, 11% Ar, 7% NH3, 1% CH4.  Surface pressures aproach 2.3 atmospheres, average global temps aproach 63*F.  The surface is covered in dense forests, swamps, marshs, rivers, lakes, and oceans.  Below a thick matte of built up organic material there is, if you havent guessed, a planet composed almost entirely of infrastructure.  Peppered throughout various areas are the remains of massive structures, that branch out beneath the surface to various other locales, some still exposed, others keept in the dark for eons.  The oceans are all connected to their own system of tubes, reaching much deeper than the structural tunnels.  Their primary purpose is to cool the core's many breeder reactors, put in place long ago to supplement  the world's many systems.  Near and around the core are a few systems, a magnetic field generator being the most prominent, built to replace the world's long since cold and dead core, as well as computer, repair, and laser communication relay systems.  
     Moon - Karnak, a small metalic moon, essentially the precursor race's largest space station, over the past few millions of years has been struck by a relatively small impactor, creating a temporary and beautiful ring of material outside the polar orbital platform.

     5 - 4 Billion Years Ago
In a far off globular cluster [ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Globular… ], upon a world, like our's, where inteligent life arose and engineered every cubic inch of their solar system especially their home planet where most of our focus shall remain.  The world flourished for eons untill their star began to die, seeing as how their star was similar to ours(I.E. relatively small in mass) it burned for roughly 10 billion years.  In a last ditch effort to prevent their world, the life contained upon it, and all traces of their history, from turning into a molten cauldren they mustered the most advanced of their technology and resources to build a massive reflective platform in equatorial orbit.  System after system crammed upon this world, all designed to maintain the longevity of their homeworld.  This foresight saved their world from being "remodeled" during their star's death throws, know to us as a planetary nebula [ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetar… ].  Once It's flames were extinguished the reflective platform slowly rotated to a polar orbit [ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_or… ], there it provided the world with the heat it would so badly need in a system without an active star.  As luck and foresight would have it, although the surface was significantly damaged, life arose again, from the depths of their planetary core, converted long ago to a cooling system for the many sleeping reactors peppered throughout the sphere.  Life started to take back It's foothold with a vengence, and as time passed the race of preservation slowly faded from memory as did their recollections of "home" which to them had long since become that of the stars.  The life, abandoned as well as forgotten upon a world of extreme stability and long age continued to evolve...

     :bluebullet:4 Billion Years Ago - "Today"
The remanents of our world's host star has decayed from a white to a warm red glow[ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_dwar… ].  The only thing keeping our globe from freezing over, the exceedingly ancient orbital platform.  A significant portion of the animal life entailed hear in has adapted to 3/4 of the day being shined upon by integrating chloroplasts into their organelles[ endosymbionts.blogspot.com/ & en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloropl… ] thus getting energy from sunlight as well as from prey.  Yet another usefull aspect of this is the severe cut in oxygen consumption by said animals.  Meanwhile the plants have largely died out and have been replaced by "lichen trees"[ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lichen ], these lichen differ from those were familiar with on Earth by having a vascular structure similar to plants, a sign of it's symbiotic evolutionary path perhaps.  Here invertebrates have evolved internal as well as external skeletons, via the notochord evolutionary path[ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notochor… ], giving them the ability to get much larger.  Soon these "insectoid-vertebrates" became the dominant animal life upon our world.  Now that we have a framework from here I can only say "let the wheel turn"...
