With the least amount of handwavium possible I need to know if this biosphere can be created in nature?
Obsidian K85-886G-7889-XMOO-OU
Initially when I awoke from statis, I though Cicero was playing a joke on me. The world in front of us appeared to be a gas giant with a single set of rings. Upon looking at the holographic display in front of the viewport, I realized the planet was about the size of Terra. The dark swirling cloud layer that engulfed the planet had only given me that impression at first glance. According to the information later provide me the planet had an arctic desert climate. The makeup of the atmosphere prevented moisture from evaporating which would allow the world larger snow fall totals.
The hydrosphere was sixty percent of the planet’s surface. This should have been surface for a natural evaporation cycle to take place. Yet the humidity levels were less than ten percent on average. Snow storms did take place but they amount to nothing more than an occasional passing snow flurry resulting in less than a centimeter of accumulation. Winds at the lower levels were almost nonexstence.
Cicero report seemed to indicate that the planet’s atmosphere was the culprit. It was clear that the lowest layer was denser than the other layers of the atmosphere, but upon closer inspection of the data, that didn’t seem quite right either or explain why the cloud layer had never settled out of the atmosphere over time. High velocity wind above and below the cloud layer prevent the particles from returning to the surface.
Geologically the planet was rather flat and tectonic activity was null. There were no high mountain ranges to mix the air. The planet was covered by a layer of black basalt and volcanic glass in some areas. Had there been no cloud layer, the planet would have been a greenhouse.
This is my version of planet's Code.
K85 -a cool orange main sequence class star.
886G-1g world with a dense tainted atmosphere. The surface of the planet is covered by 60% water and the climate is Arctic.
7889-population is 100 million range. Government is a Dicatorship with an Advance Stellar Technology. Law level is Restrictive.
XMOO-OU X class starport. Personal income is Moderate, industry talored to planet economy. Exports none. Trade restrict is unresticted.
