Description

Geb in Globe form.

Geb is approximately 4.343 billion years old, making it younger than the Earth by about 200 million years. It is about as old as Earth when it was halfway through its Triassic period. All but two of continents have merged together into one super continent named Colossica. It is divided in different regions based on their primary environments, including a the Great Grassland at the center.

At first glance, the megafauna that inhabit Geb strongly resemble dinosaurs. However, they mostly share similarities with monotremes because they lay eggs, nurse their young with milk that oozes from their skin, possess fur coats (that are slowly disappearing as the planet warms up) and a high metabolic rate. Some other animals, like the pteropods, give birth to larvae that pupate into the adult stage. The ice age was so brutal that many plants had to eat animals to obtain the essential nutrients, making Geb the planet with the most species of carnivorous plants known at this time.

Most life forms on Geb were given names derived from Latin words. There are a few exceptions that include the first few species identified which were instead given original names.

All stats are estimations that may be corrected in the future.

Diameter: ~12,109.9 km (other source suggest it is almost exactly 12,000.9 km)
Radius: ~6,054.95 km
Surface Land: 32%
Surface Water: 68%
Atmosphere: 70% nitrogen, 28% oxygen, 1% water vapor, 1% other
Year Length: 365 Earth Days
Day Length: 28 Earth Hours
Age: ~4.263 billion years
Distance from Sun: 150 million km
Stars: 1 Yellow Dwarf
Moons: 2
Other Features:
Bullet; Blue Geb's oceans have a lower salinity level. During the ice age, the oceans were full with millions of icebergs that eventually merged into a large ice sheet. The sheet was shattered when a meteorite struck which created the Meteor Islands and ended the ice age.
Bullet; Blue Geb has two moons: Isis and Osiris. Isis is very similar structure to our moon, although somewhat more "rocky". Osiris is a ~100 km long non-spherical asteroid that got caught in Geb's gravitational pull.
Bullet; Blue Geb is said to give off a primeval and danger vibe to its first human explorers, almost like traveling back in time to prehistoric Earth.

Greetings again, Tapejara. Just wanted to let you know I posted a link for this one in my group's newsletter ([link]). Disclaimer: It's not part of the OPaaT Project, I just listed it as a planet worth seeing.
