Naalea (Bliyj)

The planet Naalea (Naalee Ŕadiye), as it's named by the native population, is a terrestial planet in a fairly small solar system with seven other planets. Naalea is about 1.1 times bigger than Earth and its gravity is about 2.64 times that of Earth.

A single day lasts 37.26 hours and a year lasts 312 days. The planet is made up of 6 continents, which make up 66% of the planet's landmass.

2 moon(s) orbit the planet and Naalea itself orbits an orange sun in a circular orbit.

The plant-like organisms on this planet are almost exclusively trees, with some bushes and shrubs. Flowers can be seen on occasions, but they're rare. Fungi and grasses are almost non-existent.

Many organisms use the common tricks to prevent being eaten, like tasting bad, being poisonous or by growing thorns. But there is one species which has taken thorns to the next level. They can generally be divided into two groups. The first uses its thorns to spread itself to other areas, because inside those thorns, which get stuck in animals, are seeds, ready to be taken to another area. The second group uses the thorns purely for defense and is capable of using them as projectiles. If an animal eats too much of this species, it will bombarded the animal with thorns.

The aquatic organisms aren't very large in numbers, but they are huge in size. They can grow to sizes of nearly 100 meters (328ft) and a diameter of up to 5 meters (16ft). These underwater giants give this aquatic world an eerie atmosphere as you never know what could lurk behind that pillar. But at the same time, they provide homes to thousands of species on all depths, which makes studying even 1 giant coral an absolute delight.

By far the most interesting animals on this planet are the aquatic mammals. They may not be as majestic as the birds or as fierce as some of the land mammals, but they are the only species who have a sentient member. This member of the aquatic species is roughly comparable to a mixture of seals and squids. They form huge colonies and actively take care of each other. They even build makeshift homes out of the available materials on the sea floors.
