Description
Located 2.5 billion light years from our galaxy, dawn breaks on the surface of Kyros, a large planet dominated by an even larger ice moon, and another planet which is still in the volcanic throes of development. Kyros was once completely encapsulated with water. Over the past few million or so years, continents have formed revealing the unusually colorful surface layers of soil that were once submerged. Because Kyros and its giant ice moon exert so much gravitational pull and tug on each other's surfaces, the result is no development of life despite an ideal atmosphere.
