The Ruins

Description
The Ruins is a super-Earth sized planet shrouded in mystery. Featuring a surface that appears rusty, likely due to iron oxide, and even what seem to be ancient ruins of a civilization, hence the term "The Ruins".

Details and Important Facts
The planet appears to be maroon in color, with orange clouds and a rust colored atmosphere. The planet has no visible water, or at least that water has likely evaporated or is underground. The planet is covered in some dust and sand, but not nearly enough to be dangerous. Sandstorms do occur on the planet, but they still are not very common. The planet is also very cold.

The planet has a decent mass, 6 times that of Earth. The planet is also about the size of Neptune.

Formation
The Ruins formed approximately 8 billion years ago, around a sun sized wolf-rayet star. However, for whatever reason, the planet was ejected. Scientists still debate whether the star exploded or the planet was ejected, as there is nothing that can really cover the planet in THIS MUCH dust and iron oxide, but at the moment, more evidence supports a supernova, although a supernova would melt the surface and therefor there would not be ancient ruins.

Today
The planet today is not used much. The planet is mostly researched, as its possible that whatever happened to the planet may happen again. Fossils can be found under the surface of the planet, making the planet an amazing example of life that once thrived on a planet before being completely wiped out.

PROS

 * The planet has lots of land, great for construction
 * has enough oxygen and tornadagen to breath
 * lacks huge numbers of natural disasters
 * has a magnetic field
 * good place for a future base

CONS

 * sandstorms and dust storms are not common on the planet, but can be dangerous
 * the amount of breathable air is exceptionally low, just barely enough to breath. Those with breathing problem cannot survive on the planet without the proper treatment
 * high mass
 * seismic activity can occur, and can be damaging...but this is all too normal for habitable planets, ain't it?
 * atmosphere is not that thick

ARMORMENT
NO WEAPONS
