Votosk is the home planet of the Prypiatosian A's.
History[]
Votosk was initially discovered by a group of Prypatiosians that had split off from the main species. Where most of the species remained in the Andromeda galaxy, this group wished to settle the Milky Way instead, finding Votosk and settling it for one reason or another.
In modern times, the planet's star is on its dying breaths, and most of the once fertile planet has frozen over.
Geography[]
Votosk is a massive solid planet, over fifty times the size of Earth. Because of its size, it has an extremely strong gravitational pull, resulting in a somewhat flat landscape. The only notable exceptions are the valleys and canyons that have been carved deep into the ground by ancient rivers.
Inhabitants[]
Even before the Prypatiosians arrived and evolved into their current state, Votosk was home to a large number of plant and animal species. Though the gradual freezing of the planet has killed off quite a few of these species, a surprising number managed to evolve and adapt to the changing the environment.
The Prypatiosian As are the only sentient beings on the planet, and though they initially inhabited the surface, the freezing of the planet forced them underground, living closer to the planet's molten core.
Etymology[]
Votosk was named after the Vostok Research Station in Antarctica, where the lowest reliably recorded temperature on Earth was measured.
