Resha is a planet in the Ebon system. It is unique in that it formed naturally around an ancient megastructure known as Ebon or the Onyx Sun.
Resha was home to an extinct species known as the Reshans who died out approximately 70 million years before the battle of Domum Regimen. They had achived spacefaring technology within their own solar system, but had died out shortly after discovering the true nature of Ebon. The Reshans lobotomized themselves in mass after they discovered that Ebon was actually home to an AI that was preserving the Reshans' consciousnesses after death against their will and torturing them.
After the death of the Reshans, nature had reclaimed the planet back into a jungle wilderness with only a scant few structures still standing. The planet was later explored by the Omni Empire where they discovered the grisly fate of the Reshans. However, they were more interested in Ebon, studying its architecture to learn how to construct other megastructures just like it. The final result of this study was the creation of the god machine LUCIS.
Physical characteristics
Resha is a planet with very low light. Ebon gives off neglible amounts of light meaning it is always night on the planet regardless of where it is rotated. In addition to the planet's thick atmosphere, the planet's location within the middle of the dark nebula Obsidian Shroud makes it so that stars are not visible anywhere within the vicinity.4
Despite the darkness, Ebon radiates enough energy and the atmosphere traps just enough heat to keep the planet a balmy 80 degrees Fahrenheit on average. Fueled by an oxygen rich atmosphere, the environment is entirely tropical with no seasons.
Biology
Life on Ebon is a cacophony of echolocation from various animals. Flora sings with a series of resonant metallic ringing possibly as a means of communication. Though Resha is in constant darkness, it is brilliantly lit up with bioluminiscent animals and plants that flash various colors and patterns to communicate with one another.
