Vuuhyn Peg

The scar of the desert, this rocky cleft was formed by the falling of one of the asteroids circling the planet in the rings. Falling during the 2nd Age, it created a a rift across the desert as the rock fell. Splintering midair it tore into the land, and over the ages the desert rains have had water slowly collect along its rift to produce a small fertile area where animals come to drink during the wet season.

Fauna & Flora

Low thin leaved brush scrub, with small rodent sized creatures as regular residents. Carnivores and larger creatures come to the oasis during the wet period.

Asteroids and the planet.

Surface life on the planet runs a greater risk of running afoil of falling rocks than our own planet due to the ring of rock and dust circling it. While most fragments these days are no bigger than your average bus, there still are regular planetfalls made by remnants of the ring.
