The Asteroid Belt

The Asteroid Belt is a ring of asteroids orbiting the Sun in an area between Mars and Futuria. Most of its constituent bodies are extremely small. However some are large enough to have gravity, and, due to the combined mass of the Belt, in most areas there are clouds of gases, including plentiful amounts of oxygen, making breath possible for aerobic lifeforms.

On the outside of many asteroids exists a biofilm of photosynthetic organisms. Some are large enough to protrude outside of the biofilm and form structures analogous to grass, bushes, and trees.

Due to alien warpgates being found attached to some asteroids, this area is also known as the Warp.

Biological Life
The Asteroid Belt is not habitable to most forms of biological life. However, there are, nonetheless, still some sorts of lifeforms that inhabit it.

Most lifeforms in the Belt are photosynthetic organisms. Most of them are simple and microscopic, but a good amount of them are macroscopic and trace amounts of them look like shrubs, grass, and trees.

There are also microscopic lifeforms that eat away at the aforementioned photosynthetic organisms.

All other lifeforms are sentient aliens, including:


 * Giraffians : Giraffe-like sapients.




 * Pigmakors : Like humanoid pigs, but green. They walk around with axes and primitive weaponry, and don't take kindly when called 'pork' or 'bacon'.


 * Grattazar : Grimy scumbags, these slimy aliens, despite not belonging in the Solar System at all, don't think anybody else belongs in the Belt. They originate on the moon called Markein around the dwarf planet Shadout. They possess multiple other dwarf planets.


 * Hawkmen : Feathery hawk men. Civilized, they fly ships. They are able to fly on most planets, but the air in the Asteroid Belt is generally a bit too thin for them to fly in.
 * Xenomorphs : Black semi-humanoid semi-insectoid semi-reptilian monstrous aliens.Gamorrean.jpg
