A species composed of multiple objects of various shapes size and uses, the Qualux hail from the planet Aaguraz in the Gewqyiic system.
THE PLANET
Aaguraz is a world with a diameter of 17,429 kilometers, gravity of 1,7 g, a rotational period of one day, an orbital period of 197 days, and an orbital distance of 98,20 million kilometers. With an atmosphere of 64% CO2, 27% CH4, 6% water vapor (H2O), and 3% XE. Followed by an atmospheric pressure of 0,7 atm (709,275 millibars). That orbits the blue star Gewqyiic.
Aaguraz has a weak magnetic field, due to low electrical conductivity and production within its core, when combined with proximity towards Gewqyiic's electrical activity, results in it to weaken immensely
Gewqyiic experiences instabilities in its double layers, caused by a sudden influx of excess electrical power from the star's Birkeland current, resulting in the double layers releasing its stored energy out into several different forms, these being radio waves, UV light, X rays, and high energy Gamma rays, combined with standard radiation showers, results in Aaguraz's surface becoming a radioactive wasteland.
Due to the high energy gamma rays, the dense rocky surface is broken down into various small and heavy elements from titanium and potassium to uranium and platinum, that's sent out into the air as dust, resulting in a high degree of radioactive material within the atmosphere and further ecological impact, electrical activity reinforces this effect.
Despite the low production of electricity, it's filled with geological activity from Gewqyiic's current. From extreme quakes, sinkholes, geysers, and active volcanos, with said volcanos producing high amounts of magma and volcanic ash, creating new islands. While the ash stops most radiation in prime areas, this does result in these areas to go through nuclear winter.
There is the presence of great wind storms resulting from electrical currents, with these storms growing in scale with those on pre-terraformed Mars, engulfing incredible swaths of land.
additionally, Aaguraz goes through extreme weather in the form of hurricanes ranging from cat 4 to cat 9, tsunamis over 72 meters in height, tornados, and general severe weather.
While the surface of Aaguraz is barren and radioactive, the ocean is teeming with life. Due to water and metal compounds acting as a shield against radiation, only the water's surface is irradiated or released as vapor, while the deepest parts of Aaguraz's oceans are relatively safe and filled with a rich array of life due to geothermal activity.
However, even with the harsh and destructive conditions on the surface. Life has evolved here, and here is where the Qualux have developed and grown on their planet of Aaguraz.
