Aiyat Tsukainan

Aiyat Tsukainan is a terrestrial planet and the homeworld of the Kaijier species.

Geography
Aiyat Tsukainan is an eyeball planet, tidally locked to its star, Luvit. Its bright side, Ksontai, is a scorching desert that can evaporate water instantly, and its dark side, Lronu, is a barren tundra that can freeze water instantly. Between the planet's inhospitable faces runs a river that girdles the entire planet's equator, the 600 Tho (15 kilometre)-wide Kaijier River. The Kaijier River is home to the only flora and fauna on the planet, as well as being the only area capable of sustaining anything but the most extremophilic life forms. All Kaijier settlements are fully underwater, with the only habitable land being the manmade Eqaiyat Stardock.

Culture
Much of Aiyat Tsukainan's culture is centered around worship of the Kaijier River, which most onworld Kaijier view as a creation deity and motherly figure. Preservation of the river and its waters is of utmost importance; polluting or otherwise violating the sanctity of the river is, in cities, worthy of imprisonment, or in towns and territories, worthy of execution via banishment to the Ksontai or Lronu. Aiyat Tsukainan has a thriving culture of art and spirituality and is considered one of the galaxy's most captivating cultural centres. Kaijier and Kaijier-inspired sculptures, block prints, and beaded jewellery are sought after and ubiquitous throughout the galaxy by wealthy and poor citizens alike.
