(OOC: I’ve decided to enter into FT. FT Cotenshire will not be in any way related to MT Cotenshire and will not even be known as Cotenshire at all. Basically what should happen here is one of your spacecraft should come upon an inhabited rogue planet and first contact will be made between my species and yours.

If multiple people want to join in, then know that there are multiple such rogue planets floating around and you can pick a different one (or the same one as someone else if you want).

Here is what you will find. The planet will be about 75% the diameter of Earth, will have a thin atmosphere made almost completely of nitrogen, and will have a completely smooth surface. The surface temperature hovers above absolute If your ship does life form readings or anything like that, then there will be massive biological signs under the surface. There are no ships in orbit around the planet. Being a rogue planet, it does not orbit a star nor are there any celestial bodies in orbit around the planet.

If there are any other questions please ask but don’t just make a post that says “tag” or “response coming later”.)

The Trade Federation had sent out multiple scout vessels to look for life, or new trade partners.
These scout vessels, were made by the thousands, and sent in random directions in space.

Scout #7008 came out of warp-space near a planet with no star, which was mind boggling.
Instantly the scanners went off the charts, and the crew prepared to send down a scouter robot...

ooc: Whats the planets NAME??

Scout #7008 received no hails nor any signals of any kind. As far as it was concerned, there was no reason to believe that the life forms on this planet were aware of their existence. The planet's readings continued to remain stable.

With the exception of a few crevasses that were spread out over the surface of the planet and were no more than a meter in breadth, the planet’s surface was completely featureless. One standing at any point on the planet could see around for miles and yet would not see anything at all. It was only through the crevasses that the surface could be penetrated and the dwellings of these life forms could be accessed.

(OOC: The inhabitants of this planet call it X 425, but you might have your own designation for it if your astronomers have already discovered it.)
