Persica Prime (Persican: Persika Priima) is the largest and densest of the inner planets, and the only place in the system where higher complex native life is known to exist. Its liquid hydrosphere is unique among the planets in the system, and it is the only planet in the system where plate tectonics occur. Persica Prime’s atmosphere is radically different from those of the other planets, having been altered by the presence of life to contain 22% free oxygen. It has one natural satellite, Armenica. The planet is the capital world of the Star Kingdom of Persica (Persican: Vesta Reggnum vo Persika), and the throneworld of the Persican monarchy, which rules the Star Kingdom.

Etymology


Persica Prime’s name is derived from Karlis Persicus, captain of the Bonaventure-class colonial ship Red Raven, which landed on the planet in Junius of 2676. Persicus was instrumental in the success of the early colony. The planet was renamed shortly after Unification from Persica in 2955 to reduce confusion between the kingdom and the planet.
