### **Planetary Classification Entry**
**Planet Name:** Xylaris-7
**System:** Alpha Draconis
**Multiverse Coordinates:** [REDACTED]
---
### **General Information**
**Type:** Oceanic
**Diameter:** 15,312 kilometers
- Xylaris-7 is a large oceanic planet with a significant equatorial bulge, resulting from its rapid rotation.
**Mass:** 8.723 × 10^24 kilograms
- The planet's substantial mass affects its gravitational pull, contributing to the high density of its atmosphere and deep oceanic trenches.
**Atmosphere:**
- **Major Gases:**
- **Hydrogen (73.2%):** Predominant gas, contributes to the planet's unique light absorption properties.
- **Helium (20.7%):** Abundant, providing buoyancy and contributing to atmospheric stability.
- **Methane (4.5%):** Present in higher concentrations, influencing climate and weather patterns.
- **Trace Gases:** Includes Neon, Xenon, and small amounts of ammonia.
**Gravity:** 11.34 m/s²
- Xylaris-7's gravity is stronger than Earth's, resulting in a more pronounced effect on the oceanic and atmospheric dynamics.
**Orbital Period:** 406.78 Xylarian days
- Xylaris-7 completes one orbit around its parent star, Alpha Draconis, in approximately 406.78 of its own days.
**Rotation Period:** 19.6 hours
- The planet's rapid rotation contributes to a dynamic weather system and strong ocean currents.

### **Environmental Characteristics**
**Temperature Range:**
- **Extreme Minimum:** -80.4°C in the deepest ocean trenches
- The temperature in these depths reflects the planet's unique thermal vent systems and lack of sunlight.
- **Extreme Maximum:** 82.3°C in equatorial regions
- Extreme heat in the planet's shallow, tropical ocean zones due to high solar radiation and geothermal activity.
**Surface Composition:**
- **Water Coverage:** 95%
- Xylaris-7 is predominantly covered by deep, high-pressure oceans with a complex network of underwater mountain ranges and thermal vents.
- **Land Coverage:** 5%
- Limited landmasses include a series of floating island chains and small, volcanic islands.
**Geological Activity:**
- **Volcanic Activity:** High
- Frequent underwater volcanic eruptions contribute to the formation of new land and influence oceanic chemistry.
- **Tectonic Activity:** Significant
- The planet's tectonic plates are highly active, causing frequent seismic activity and oceanic trench formation.
**Major Landmarks:**
- **Underwater Mountain Ranges:**
- **The Abyssal Ridges:** A system of vast mountain ranges submerged beneath the oceans.
- **Thermal Vents:**
- **The Inferno Fields:** Areas of intense geothermal activity providing unique ecosystems around hydrothermal vents.

### **Biological Attributes**
**Presence of Life:** Yes
**Dominant Life Forms:**
- **Species:** Aquatic, bioluminescent organisms
- The primary life forms are highly adapted to extreme pressure and low light conditions, with a wide range of bioluminescent species.
- **Ecosystem Diversity:** High
- Complex ecosystems are supported by unique chemosynthetic processes around hydrothermal vents and floating islands.
**Level of Civilization:** Pre-spacefaring
- **Technological Stage:** Primitive
- The dominant species possess advanced biological adaptations but lack technological development for space travel.
- **Social Organization:** Tribal
- Societies are organized into small, isolated tribes with intricate social structures based on communal living and resource sharing.
