A-010 Yggdrasil

CACG Celestial Body File
A-010 is a large planet approximately 93 Astronomical Units away from our own solar system, with an apparent lack of a home star system. Its shape is extremely reminiscent of an a giant portion of earth taken from the ground, with a massive tree rooted inside it. Despite not being near a star, it is still capable of holding life, and is in fact home to a thriving extraterrestrial ecosystem. The size of the planet is equivalent to 39 Grails and is the largest Terrestrial planet seen in the local arm of the galaxy. A-010 is the first planet the Director discovered in his career before the CACG was founded, and it has been under the Group's observation since founding. The latest development in A-010's containment being the deployment of a small force of recon drones in collaboration with the Camelotian Space Exploration Agency (CSEA).

The creatures residing on A-010's surface are strange and seemingly mythical in description. These creatures are classified as A-010-Alpha prior to being catalogued and added to the CACG's database. One of these creatures includes a fluffy dog-like creature that releases an electromagnetic pulse by barking, stunning its prey that relies on magnetic fields to navigate. Plant life on A-010 seems to directly stem from the main "tree" on the surface (designated A-010-Beta), pulling in light from its ever-glowing bioluminescent leaves to undergo photosynthesis. A-010-Beta itself has an unknown method of sustaining itself, although it seems alive and well upon visualobservation.

Despite A-010's isolation from other celestial objects, it maintains a ring of mineral-rich asteroids around itself, as well as habitable conditions that seem to be entirely self-sustained. There's a warm oxygenated atmosphere around A-010, with both comfortable gravity as well as an abundance of natural resources to sustain oneself on. A-010 even seems to maintain a cycle of "day" and "night," with 24 hour periods of the bioluminescent leaves glowing and then ceasing to glow afterwards. Due to this perfect mix of conditions, the surface of A-010 is generally thought to be paradise. Following its approval by the Roundtable Council, a manned mission to A-010's surface is in development, with possible plans for colonization alongside it.
