| - Ucharpli was the homeworld of the Dhragolon. It has since been abandoned by the Dhragolon themselves. While the ecosystem is fairly unharmed, much of the other cities have been left in ruins. It is a very lush world with a variety of creatures. It is very similar to Earth having a similar atmospheric composition and diameter. It is located in the Perseus Arm in the Malick Star Cluster, named after the first king of the Dhragolon, Altus Malick. Ucharpli is a verdant world having a TerraScore of 3 forming about 5.2 billion years ago. Because there is less oxygen in the air, many non-naitve, carbon-based lie forms will tire out much more quickly than on other nitrogen-oxygen atmospheres. The planet itself however is slightly smaller than Earth as well as slightly closer to its star; it has an average temperature at the equator of 100°F. This results in the geography being mostly jungles, forests, grasslands and deserts. along with the wildlife evolving to have long, elongated bodies to adjust to the lower gravity and higer average temperature. This planet is comparable to the Cretaceous period on Earth sporting warm climates and being dominated by reptiles. Ucharpli also has seasons due to its axial tilt of 26.1°. However, the lowest the temperature will drop during the winter is -20°F at the poles. In the past, there used to be tectonic activity much like how it is on Earth. However, after the Great Flood, the core has become solid after cooling down almost completely. As a result, the continents no longer move and volcanic activity no longer occurs though the core is active enough for magma to form underground. This has also resulted in many crystal and rare gem formations appearing at the seafloor. In fact, the southern ocean has been affected so much by the halt of tectonic activity that the Dhragolon have named it the Sea of Diamonds. On the contrary, volcanic activity still persists on Athen to a very dangerous degree.
