Galaxy24: Urda and Yuthra

Twin desert planets, each small and rocky, covered in anomalous floating islands of rock that smash into each other, marking drastic seasonal shifts. Oases ringed by mountain ranges rise from the colossal ruins of the craggy collisions.

Sparks

Living-meteor hired hit-and-run. Bitter predator rage. Fusion union advocates. Unexpected ice discovery.

Hooks

1. The Yuthra Dactyl, apex predators past their prime, hired a living-meteor, Noocal VI, to strike Urda with a glancing blow. The Dactyl hope to wipe out the Urdasaurs’ utopian cities and bring back their glorious days of the hunt with a new and oblong orbit pattern.
2. Some Dactyls and Urdasaurs advocate that the only hope for peace is to merge the planets. Protests in the streets. Debates in public forums. Announcements from the capitals. Only experimental astronomer cultists of both saurian lines have detected Noocal VI’s hastening approach.
3. Some of Noocal VI’s frosty children hasten ahead of them, bringing huge chunks of ice to the atmosphere of Urda and Yuthra, bringing the first torrential typhoons to the planets. Wet chaos ensues.
4. Noocal VI’s Dactyl contractors discover how close the union advocates are to merging the two planets. Each will die for their cause. Coin flip odds, adjust by 1-in-6 to account for recent events.
5. Dactyl leaders uncover sentient microphages living in Noocal’s ice children, capable of rewriting their genes, could lead to extinction. A union advocate Dactyl unearths evidence of an Urdasaur’s cure. Peace talks, cloak and dagger betrayal, little time before Noocal VI arrives.
6. Whatever Urdasaurs remain hastily construct half an icy dyson shield to deflect Noocal’s path. 1-in-6 increments based on events up to present. Roll 1d6 for deflection direction. 1: Empty space. 2-3: Yuthra. 4-6: Another heavenly body in the O-Mega 2 System or another system.
