Hyge

A planet located in the southeast section of the Spur Trinity, on the edge of Kiracian Commonwealth space. Many millions of years ago, Hyge is suspected to have been a pleasant, habitable world, full of various kinds of plant and animal life. An impact from a large meteorite destabilized its orbit and sent it further away from its dim star, cooling the surface of the planet to the point where it was no longer habitable. Hyge's underground geothermal activity, however, has allowed life to continue in the vast caverns underneath the planet's surface. Hygian lifeforms are notable for being grotesque and unnerving, traits common among cave-dwelling organisms. One of the most widely-feared lifeforms in the galaxy, the Hygian Flesher, originates from this planet.
