Hemisu is a super planet located in the Outer Band of the Talin Galaxy. It orbits the orange dwarf star, Hoku. It has three small moons that orbit it. Hemisu offers many biomes such as plains, forests, savannahs, deserts, barren mountains/plateaus, and a vast freshwater ocean. It is comprised of one massive supercontinent and superocean, with one side of the planet being almost entirely land and the other water, with a few major cities and spaceports. It is home to a multitude of animals and plant life. The sentient native species are the Nemeans, lion-like humanoids named after the Nemean lion from Greek mythology. The planet and its moons are also home to a sizable population of humans.
Hemisu and its moons are rich in a rare metal ore called etherium that when refined is used in almost everything by the humans that mine it. As such, the surface of Hemisu and its moons are covered in mines and drilling facilities. Due to the many practical uses of refined etherium, it is the most lucrative trade commodity on the planet, and as such is heavily regulated and protected.
Etymology
Hemisu, from the Greek “hēmisys”, which translates to “half” (temporal and spatial). The humans that settled here named it in reference to Plato’s use of the word for half ἥμισυ (hemisu) much as English refers to one's other half as a partner, but instead referring to the two halves of the planet being a supercontinent and superocean.
