Pelietta

Pelietta is the second planet in the Szon system. It is relatively close to Ucharpli - very rarely, the planet will appear as a second moon on Ucharpli, though this only occurs every few centuries for only one day. Even stranger, every 100,000 years, the two planets switch orbit.

Geography
The planet is entirely a desert with the exception of its ice caps - the south pole containing frozen carbon dioxide and the north pole containing frozen water. For the most part, all life on the planet as died out save for microscopic bacteria.

It is known that at least 21,000 years ago Pelietta was a garden planet much like Ucharpli is today. The planet once had vast oceans and jungles. However, none of such features can be found on Pelietta today.

Ancient Times
Most documented history relies on carbon dating as well as ancient ruins found on the planet. Pelietta was once colonized by the Omni, a powerful extraterrestrial race once having an empire that spanned the whole galaxy. The planet was a scientific outpost used to study both the life on Pelietta and Ucharpli. A grand city was built in the northern hemisphere, believd to host a population of 2 billion people.

However, the Omni did not last forever, and they were soon wiped out by the Harbingers. The entire planet was burned in the fires of war, reducing it to a desert. With the collapse of Pelietta's biosphere, any creatures that may have survived the war went extinct as well.

Rediscovery
Many millenia later at the beginning of the Fourth Era, the Dhragolon developed space travel. Pelietta was about to transit very close to Ucharpli, allowing the original ship Yoltox Prime to travel to it in only a week.

King Dralla and his crew discovered the ruins of the past civlization. They even believed that this was the Omni's home planet, but later found out that it was merely a colony which proved that this race was far more advanced than they originally thought. Little of these ruins were left as the majority of structures were in a state of disrepair, but a dormant spacecraft was discovered amidst the ruins - one containing a warp drive.

The warp drive along with any other salveagable technology was recovered and reverse engineered. The Dhragolon were finally able to leave their solar system.
