“- Is that hill moving?”
“- Don’t be paranoid, that’s just your eyes playing tricks on you”

- Record of the last words of (presumably) two marines from the 3rd fleet recovered after an unplanned encounter with a native.

Even less is known about the latest documented species of Tivoros-1. Seismic readings and sporadic sightings have revealed that these most reclusive creatures spend most of their lives underground. Some wild theories speculate that (judging by their immense size and body composition) they are the ground itself.

While much smaller than its neighboring hostile environments, the narrow ring between the frozen and scorched hemispheres hosts a larger variety of organisms. Distinct species and subspecies are easily identifiable even by viewers on the galactic web. Admiral Carter provided an unofficial quick guide for his troops: “If you’re on a strip and you spot by one of those windy things, remember this: they’re like the weather, if they drift like a cool summer’s breeze, you’re gonna have yourself a nice day, but if you see lighting and hear thunder, you’d better be prepared for a storm.”

The opposite side of the planet provided conditions for creatures with a lot more chill disposition (pun intended). Seemingly made of blocks of ice fused together, these frozen beasts have been reported as docile, even friendly compared to their fiery cousins. To this day, scientists are still not able to explain how these creatures can move, yet alone survive the extremely low temperatures of the dark side of Tivoros-1.

The scorched side was inhabited by creatures that resembled living fire, only much more dangerous. "Authorities strongly advise immediate evacuation upon encounter. Broadcast specimen location on all channels."

The cataclysm that had devastated the Tivoros Star System lead to a dramatic transformation of its lonely planet. The once barren rock was now a colorful mixture of nature’s elements. The planet stopped rotating leaving one hemisphere permanently scorched while the other experienced permanent night and sub-zero temperatures. A narrow strip of almost livable conditions formed where the two hemispheres collided.
Many came to examine the anomaly but few were successful, mainly due to Tivoros-1’s hazardous conditions. Shortly after, the gaze of the galaxy turned elsewhere and the planet was once again forgotten. Eons later, adventurers from the young human race of Earth stumbled across the half-burning half-frozen planet on the edge of the galaxy, just like so many before them. Only this time, the planet was no longer empty.

Tivoros-1 did not always look like this. Many millennia ago, when it was discovered by the long-extinct alien civilization of Rivath, the planet resembled a barren, lifeless rock with scarce resources. With little of value and far away from galactic hubs, Tivoros-1 did not attract much attention. The system contained one more world – Zirit. Unlike its sibling, this planet served as a forward mining and research colony until its resources were exhausted.
Galactic turmoil and conflict eventually lead to the complete abandonment of Zirit and its subsequent destruction leaving Tivoros-1 the sole inhabitant of the remote system. We cannot be sure how much time had passed since its discovery, but at one point in history, the many eyes of the galaxy turned to Tivoros-1 once again. The cause – a cosmic anomaly of devastating proportions shook the Tivoros Star System. No one can be sure what caused it precisely since no one paid attention to this dark corner of the galaxy. Many hypotheses and conspiracy theories spread like wildfire, ranging from supernovas to weapons of mass destruction, to dark gods even. But no one could deny the result: Tivoros-1 was no longer what it once was and it was no longer a barren gray rock.
