Gliese 109
The Ballivian System
And the primary world of Altiplano
presented by the Exploration Society's Institute of Planetological Natural History


A ChloriVesperian world, Altiplano is an extreme rarity in two ways.  Vesperian planets with thriving
biospheres are uncommon as it is, but one which has developed, naturally, with substantial amounts
of chlorine, giving it a definite green tint.


With the clouds removed, the chloritic nature of this world is even more apparent.  Such worlds tend to
be higher massed, and as such their atmospheres are often much more dense than the typical biotic world.


The sun, perpetually hovering over the horizon of this tidally locked world, barely shines through the
heavy haze of chlorine and nitrogen on the horizon.
