Jovia

General Information
Jovia is the fourth life-supporting planet to be discovered by mankind. It is also the smallest, being slightly smaller then Mars. Jovia is the 3rd Planet from its star, Briareus.

Jovia does not have oceans, instead, it gets its water from constant rain. The entire planet is in a state of overcast or storm, of varying size. The storms are about as strong as an Earth storm. The terrain is mostly jungle and forest, up hills and mountains. There are no animals, instead, all the plant life is fully mobile. Some plants can swallow humans whole, others trip or trap them, and others have more deadly effects. The jungles of the planet are very hazardous, that the population even survives there is considered a great leap in the success and progression of humankind.

It is 9 light years away from Earth.

Early History
Jovia was discovered towards the end of the Earth and Servan War. It resulted in an armistice, the Enossi teleports were calibrated appropriately and Human explorers arrived there soon. No explorer returned, so the humans decided to send a robotic probe to figure out what happened. They soon discovered that every plant there was hostile to each other and the explorers. They sent soldiers in to clear a path. About 6000 soldiers were sent, but by the end of the mission only 3 remained. However, the mission was a success, and the area they cleared out was deemed safe for human colony. These first colonies had trouble surviving the early days.

However, Jovia's population would soon be renowned for their strength and bravery, having grown on a world where the ground wants you dead.
