Imagine an alien civilization for which the idea of orbiting a star is impossible to fathom… So cool!

I wonder if they could have a super hot, super dense core that gives them the chance of an atmosphere and a warm surface. Bioluminescent everything. It would be like looking at a blacklight poster on heated seats.

Or enough radiation to be warm enough.

There’s a book series, the first of which is called Dark Eden, which is set on a planet substantially like that 🙂

Imagine an alien civilisation that is capable of moving planets through deep space as a mode of transport.

Oh, I’m sorry…I thought I wasn’t really a planet!? But when you’re horny, everything suddenly changes.

But how will they know what movies to watch or what’s the latest in fashion?

Why are they always Rogue planets? Never any Cleric or Barbarian planets.

If they weren’t rogues you’d have already discovered them by now. Barbarians aren’t quiet and clerics are always talking.

What about Rangers? They’re usually about as quiet as Rogues, but they often bring a companion with them, so they should be a bit easier to spot.

Cause as DPS it’s harder to find a group.

I don’t know, but I’m a big fan of cowboy and mafia planets.
