Mynaris

The planet Mynaris is a large, desert planet with minimal vegetation and is covered by races of creatures adapted to life in and on the sand. The sapient race of the Planet is the Korvis. It is covered by a mineral called Perceptum.

History
When Mynaris collided with the planet Precepi, it was a desert world, so not much changed. What did change Mynaris was the creation of Cavernus, a chunk of rock from both Mynaris and Precepi. The moon began to leave areas of Mynaris in shadow, allowing atmospheric moisture from Precepi to condensate into water and these pools formed life. However, these pools would dry up not long after they left Cavernus's shadow, so the life in them was forced to evolve to survive in the barren temperatures. This life eventually evolved into many life-forms, 3 major ones being the Cavernoceros, a creature whose hide sprouts minerals that protect its body from the sun, and actually helps keep water trapped in; the Korvis, whose light and fast bodies are equipped with an effective biological cooling system and big brains; and the Kalkosa, who have adapted to living under Mynaris' sands, which remains cool even on hot summer days of over 203 degrees Fahrenheit.

Indigenous Species
The races that live on Mynaris are usually races that either can survive for long periods without water or have adapted ways of getting water from the atmosphere.

Stars and Moons
Mynaris is fairly close to its Star, Trakus, and therefore is covered in extreme heat. The orbit of its moon, Cavernus, is fairly slow, so there is usually one part of the planet in the moon's shadow for several days. These areas are much cooler and even occasionally experience rain storms. For weeks after, these areas flourish with life.
