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.
