"Astraeus" Of the soup
Not yet surveyed.
Astraeus is a barren, inhospitable world. Its surface is pitted with deep craters and jagged rock formations, a harsh and alien landscape that has never seen the touch of life. Despite its inhospitable environment, the planet is home to one of the universe's most remarkable phenomena: a rampant species of cacti known as Trichocereus particular san pedro. Over time, these cacti have managed to thrive in the harsh conditions, and now they have overrun the equator, turning the barren, rocky wastes into a lush, vibrant oasis. A thousand shades of green and yellow stretch across the landscape, offering a stark contrast to the rusty red of the equator. Most of the planet is uninhabitable for life, but the cacti have created an ecology of their own, sustaining vast herds of wooks who roam the landscape and make their homes beneath the protective canopy of the cacti. Life may be hard, but the life that does exist on Astraeus is vibrant and resilient, and it stands as a testament to the indefatigable will of nature.

Endemic species
Astraean Cacti
The Trichocereus particular san pedro is an alien species of towering cacti. These incredible specimens are nearly twenty feet tall, with a columnar, upright form and striking yellow and green spines erupting from their ridged surfaces. Despite their intimidating size and intimidating covering of spines, these cacti have an essential role in sustaining life on Astraeus. They are able to draw as much as ten times more water from the planet's thin atmosphere than most other species of cacti, and as such, they have become the primary source of food and shelter for the native creatures that inhabit the planet. As a result, the Trichocereus particular san pedro has become an integral part of the planet's ecology, and it is a testament to the power of adaptation that these cacti have not only survived, but also thrive in such a hostile environment.
