Deadworld
Scarworld
000F04c is a major planet composed of silicate rock with a dormant iron core.
Geothermal activity has all but ceased on this planet, classifying it as a deadworld; however, due to extensive industrial activity, it was reclassed in ::01604 as a scarworld. It may be reclassed as an abandonworld as industrial development becomes unviable.
Notable Features
Acid Table
While 000F04c cannot support liquid water, it is often just cold enough to allow large bodies of sulphuric acid to accumulate on its surface.
Restoration Efforts
Recent efforts have been made to rectify the eminent effects of industry on the planet.
Initial attempts in ::01610 following the reclassification focused on particulate distribution. Turbofans powered by thermoelectric heat pumps and wind turbines draw surface air into funnels, which blow the air into the upper atmosphere; fine iron particulates are dispersed into the mixture with the intention of increasing atmospheric bond albedo.
While moderately successful over the last 200 years (increasing albedo by 0.5% every 10 years), the process is incredibly resource-intensive, and the strain placed on the funnels and external power generators from strengthening wind has dramatically reduced the uptime of these units.
A long-term effort was required, and would be developed by reversing the turbofans and cooling the atmospheric gases for distillation. Thought impossible two centuries before due to the replacement of the thermoelectric heat pumps with cooling systems, recent material developments have led to the creation of high-speed wind turbines that can handle the potent gales of 000F04c, and temperature management systems that can manage the incredible heat without physical degradation.
The first condenser was constructed in ::01824 and is capable of converting dozens of tons of atmospheric gases to liquids at peak performance. Much of the carbon dioxide is converted to methane and water through the Sabatier reaction, valuable resources both locally and system-wide.
