3rd moon from Arkkana.
A dying moon once full of life. Vortis' core has been cooling for centuries, yet it should be completely dead by now. Thanks to the tidal forces of Arkkana, the alien life on Vortis is having a slow, painful death.

 Planet Lore
Vortis is currently the second innermost moon of the Arkkanian Planetary System. Vortis, from space, may seem like a regular habitable moon with rivers and big lakes. This is entirely not true as the moon is dying. The rivers were once massive and carried a lot of water, and the lakes were once massive oceans dotted around the planet. Now there are canyons of once-rivers and large empty basins of once-oceans. The water is a deep blue and is quite unclean. There is aquatic life, whereas the life on the surface is having a harder time. Vortis is bombarded with radiation (1.63x) from the Binary Blackholes and has a hazy, cloudy atmosphere due to the rapid evaporation of the water. Some clouds do precipitate, but most are degraded into space.
Vortìs has 2 submoons, the latter of which is large enough to sustain what is known to be half of hydrostatic equilibrium. V'torquwa, the innermost of the pair, is the largest and has a roughly spherical shape. There are cracks and craters of many sizes. As for Qaush'leen, it is shaped like a chicken egg from Terra Prime. Due to it being closer to the rings of Arkkana than V'torquwa, it has an equatorial ridge along the x-axis of the moon. It boasts large basins (compared to the moon) of once-lava lakes.
Vortìs is also mostly inhabited by many outlaws. The Hyperants sometimes avoid this moon (Vortìs) due to the Hypereans residing here, but the majority of the Hypereans (outlaws or not) are not hostile. While it is true some are notorious, most are on "friendly" terms. Alien life on Vortìs consists of hardy plants to resist the radiation, while some microbes are underground, only coming up for resources. There are some species of the genus Barvunelis, some similar to the Ustrenpased plant found in Zeraphus. The aquatic life also consists of microbes, which can also explain the unsafe consumable water, while having alien creatures and plants (underwater ofc).
Vortìs is a beautiful moon, with receding water and a dying core, to the shriveling plant life to an inhospitable climate. Due to it being part of no jurisdiction, and the fact that the moon is dying painfully but slowly, Vortìs is often known as the "Freedom of Death".

    The process is complex, @Spitty. The Antarius System is the center of the Tanis Nebula, and there is a lot of material in it. In some random places, you can find gigantic extraordinary biological structures built by microbes. Hyperant seeded some barren planets, as mere experiments. He would do this to preserve endangered life. Zeraphus, along with many other moons formed from the debris disk that Arkkana once had. They developed like normal moons (except Hyperus, Alteraan Prime, Torrah Prime, Kothran, and maybe Trivonis). Zeraphus, due to it being the innermost moon of the Arkkanian System, has a lot of volcanoes, and its placement in Arkkana's rings gives it a dusty, hazy, toxic atmosphere. The atmosphere allowed microbial life to thrive better than on airless worlds. The Ustrenpased (Barvunelis Ustrenpased) has a hardy anti-radiation shell to protect itself from the radiation. Some other plants would be the Awemtricae (Barvunelis Awemtricae), a similar plant that sacrificed most of its shell for leaves to get more energy. Because of their vulnerability to radiation, they live in shady areas like mountains, caves, and valleys. Rarely do they exist near lava fjords.
    In summary, the rings carried microbial life for the moon Zeraphus.
    Vortis was like Alteraan Prime before its core was exhausted. It was full of plants that had the pigment Retinol, a simpler, purple-colored pigment that was easier to produce than chlorophyll. Life on Vortis formed by Abiogenesis. Would you like me to say more?

    @Hyperant I’m curious. Did they spread via Panspermia? Specifically by asteroid/meteorites/comets, or by being stowaways in spacecraft?

    So to begin with, you already know that Vortìs is suffering a similar fate to Ares (Mars) @Spitty? If you do good! But anyway, most of the life is underground and underwater. The caves on Vortìs are beautiful. Due to the warm, dark, and possibly moist environment, they are littered with bioluminescent life, including fungi. Some species of the genus, "Barvunelis" is also found in Vortìs, along with Zeraphus, Trivonis, Erros, and other Andrean moons (Andrean Moons are the innermost moons before Kothran, moons beyond Kothran are Arugan Moons. Kothran is an Andrean Moon for reference). Barvunelis plants (genus, not species) are normally round or bulbous. The Ustrenpased species of the Barvunelis has thin grass-like leaves protruding out the top through a small opening. Some SUB-SPECIES of the Ustrenpased that are found on Vortìs are the Yaquili (Barvunelis Ustrenpased Yaquilis). Under the water also many plants and creatures. Some are hostile whereas some are grazers, eating the plant life. There are also microbes on Vortìs, to of which some may be harmful to humans.

    @Hyperant Sure! I'd love to know more about this moon!

    Sort-of and sort-of not @Spitty. Most of the surface plant life has hardy, thick layers of protection to battle radiation, and the harsh climate, like sandstorms. I can tell you more if you would like me too.

    lol, thanks @Zenithspeed. I put extra effort into the details because, for some reason, this was my favorite, despite the lore saying its dying and gonna be a barren rock soon.
