Vesk-6
Vesk-6 is a small, humid world, with uniformly high temperatures across all latitudes. Its landmass is concentrated in a supercontinent, covered in lush jungles with the exception of the Holy Land in the southern hemisphere, the main battlefield of the Veskarium invasion which never recovered from the devastation. Adapted to the low gravity, Vesk-6's towering trees can be as tall as mountains on other planets. Vesk-6's own mountains are even taller, perhaps impossibly so from an outsider's view.
Cartographers often split Vesk-6's superocean into three smaller bodies of water: the Ketemare Ocean, which is relatively calm due to its distance from shore, and the Tereltos Sea and Tideflight Ocean, which are subject to extreme tides caused by the gravity of Vesk-6's two moons, Vesk-6.1 and Vesk-6.2 (called Hinirinn and Yolaku by the pahtras). These tides can reach for miles inland every day.
Vesk-6 is covered in a very powerful magnetosphere that allows it to keep its atmosphere and generates magnetic winds which quickly destroys technology. Without proper shielding, even simple tools can become unreliable, while more advanced technology is useless or even deadly. Its core was apparently altered some time in prehistory, which explains its unusually warm temperature; however, there are no proof or ruins on Vesk-6 of any ancient aliens who might have been responsible.
