Horin (Planet)

Horin is an abandoned world, the original homeworld of the Horin species. It is a wasteland, with few ruins of the civilization long past.

History
Thousands of years ago, this world was a thriving democracy and the exemplar of civilization, much like Earth is today. However, the Horin species was overly reliant on Hydrogen Crystals, which they eventually became solely dependent on. Once the water on their planet was used up they realized that they could no longer live their, and chaos broke out. A group of scientists created a plan to use as many of the remaining Hydrogen Crystals available and leave the planet to search for another hospitable planet in their system. As Horin collapsed the Horin remaining on the planet slowly descended into extinction, and eventually a nuclear war caused their few remaining buildings to be lost.

Today, Horin is still visited on occasion by archaeologists wishing to understand exactly why the Horin collapsed, and perhaps to learn something about how not to use Hydrogen Crystals.

Location/Geography/Ecology
Horin is in the Goldilocks Zone but has, overtime, drifted slightly closer to Freyja. In around 750 million years it will be too close to Freyja for visitation without protective equipment.

Horin is a very desolate place, with several areas exhibiting extreme radiation still left over from the Last Horin War (However, some scientists believe that there may be an alternate explanation for this radiation).

There are a few spots on Horin where vegetation has returned, and there are 3 species of non-sentient life still living on Horin.
