Week 5: Planet Building Assignment



An explanation on my planet created for the planetarium assignment.

My planet was based off 3 main focused concepts. Lighting, Life, and Terrain. I asked myself how I wanted to light this planet, choosing that this planet is so far from a light and heat source that its relatively dark. Because it's dark and lacks heat the planet is cold, but not cold enough to frost over. The terrain is dry made of crystals similar to amethysts, little to no water exist here preventing the frost. So if this planet is cold and dark what life can it sustain? Bioluminescent mushrooms began sprouting on the planet long ago, managing to thrive on what little nutrients the ground holds. These mushrooms in turn provide light and from a telescope look like stars blending in the planet to the rest of space.

The tribe is massive as they grew so large that they split to become multiple packs withholding the same traditions and keep in communication through regular meet ups. At the head of each pack are 3 chiefs who exist solely to serve as an example to the rest of their tribe.  The tribe lives off a diet of animal products and whatever they manage to scavenge throughout their travels. They are long distance traders who keep moving in order to survive and circulate through the lands. Since traveling is so highly important to them t hey rely on star mapmaking written by their own tribe members. They prefer to eat food thats on the sweeter side like milk products, honey, or fruits.
