Stradius 216S-2

One of two planets inhabiting the slimefolk species. This one was confused for Stradius 216-1 for a long time and later renamed as Stradius 216S-2. It probably was created around the same time the first planet with slime folk was created.

Geography

Over the last 37 aeons, an average day lasts 43.53 junctures and the average year lasts 279 cycles. The planet is made up of 3 continents, which make up ca. 47% of the planet's landmass.
2 moon(s) orbit the planet and Stradius 216-2 itself orbits the sun in a wide, not as irregular orbit.

Ecosystem

The plant-like organisms on this planet are almost exclusively shrubs, bushes and other low plants, with some flowers, fungi and a handful of small tree species.
While most organisms don't have to fear being completely destroyed when eaten by animals, some have made sure they will survive either way. Some will prevent being eaten by tasting horrible, by growing thorns or by being poisonous. But there are a handful of species who, in a way, need to be eaten. When an animal begin eaten these species, they will release the seeds around the eaten area, which are either swept away with the wind or get stuck on the animal to be taken away and thus ensure the species can continue to grow in other areas.

Ecosystem Cycles

Due to the irregular orbit of their planet, there aren't any seasons or cyclical periods of time. Most organism are either adapted to rapidly changing environments or procreate in such a way that younglings will be.
Some go into hybernation, but most organism don't react to these changes.

Localized Phenomena

One of the ooze species live here, specifically the slime folk (Version 2).
These slimes are physically advanced, with a weakness for water. They both need and can die by it.

Fauna & Flora

While the surface may have gorgeous forests of amazing organisms, the underwater world also has its fair share of forests. Mostly in the form of long, grass-like waterplants, but there are few dozens places on this planet where actual underwater forests grow. The species in these forests aren't actual trees, but they work in similar ways. Roots keep them in place, while a trunk helps carry the nutrients to every part of its body. At the top, branch-like tentacles grow to feed on micro-organisms near the surface. These tentacles often reach above the surface, giving the water a mysterious and eerie look.

Natural Resources

Most of the planet is covered in microorganisms and oozes that eat all minerals and magical energy they can. It's very rare to find anything in vast amounts. Since every intergalactic recource is based on metall or mana, there isn't anything that is worth exploiting.

History

The exact origin and age of the planet are unknown.
The sentient slimes are very versed in the arts of language and wrote down some history, but it contradicts with the other slimefolk. Even though there are no indications of them leaving and inhabiting a similar planet, there is a second species on a different one. At some point, it seems, one exactly copy of the world and its inhabitants was created. Both of them are refusing to be called anything other than Slime folk and it is considered extremely rude to do so.

Tourism

Most other species dislike visiting this planet due to the many changes of the environments.
If they have to land here, they normally get a warm welcome from the slimefolk. These are great hosts, but their home isn't easy to get used to. Outsiders usually like leaving again after just a few cycles.
