Polysiton is the second planet of the star Lampardion, and thus is designated Lampardion II. Polysiton is the most fertile of the Lampardion's 6 planets.

Given its rich ecosystem, Polysiton is a valued strategic point in the Lampardion system. Polysiton is the home to the Spheres, an sentient and soft-bodied kephalothorakes known for massive appetite and surprisingly visible technological development. Polysiton is estimated to have formed around 3.2 billion years ago, and given its strong magnetic field (2.3 times stronger than Earth) has warded off the solar radiation, although the solar radiation of Lampardion is far stronger than that of the Sun, meaning that the UV rays that reach Polysiton is around 3 times stronger than that experienced in Earth.

Polysiton's crust is solid, and given its solidity, there are no incidents akin to the earthquakes in Polysiton. However, although the crust is solid, there are regions in which the crust is rather thin, meaning in some places the content of the mantle may sometimes leak out. Like any other planetary objects, it interacts with other space objects, and Polysiton possesses two satellites, Euxeine and Seleukeia. Unique to Polysiton, Euxeine and Seleukeia are noted for their orbit, which encompasses Polysiton in the same orbit, only in different locations. Even more surprisingly, Euxeine and Seleukeia have roughly the same mass, Seleukeia bigger than Euxeine by only .04% in terms of mass.

Etymology

Polysiton is derived from the Greek prefix πολυ-, meaning many, and σιτον, meaning grain and figuratively food. This is in agreement with its nature, noted for its rich biome, particularly edible things.

Composition

Like any other terrestrial planet, Polysiton features the core, the mantle, and the crust. Like the Earth, Polysiton also features the outer molten core, made largely of the transitional metals, including but not limited to Zinc, Iron, Zirconium, Palladium, and Cobalt. Polysiton's crust is much more metallic compared to the Earth, having far less silicon and oxygen than that of the Earth. Despite this, Polysiton's crust is rocky. The upper mantle contains most of Polysiton's metalloids, and like the crust, Polysiton's upper mantle contains far less silicon, having more boron, germanium, and tellurium in its stead. The core, made primarily of Titanium, spins very fast, advancing 2.5-3.2 degrees ahead of the rest of the planet, compared to .1-.5 degrees at Earth.

Heat

Polysiton has far less radioactive elements than Earth, and the key radioactive element, Uranium, exist primarily in the U-235 Isotope rather than the longer lasting U-238. As mentioned, Polysiton does not have plates like the Earth. However, Polysiton features much more mantle plumes in return, resulting in more hot spots than that of the Earth, although Polysiton generates far less thermal energy given the lack of radioactive materials.
