Editing Hua Yuan (section)

==Environment==
Hua Yuan is a barren moon with a equatorial circumference of approximately 47,391 kilometers, slightly larger than Holy Terra orbiting a massive gas giant, Hotung IX. It is almost completely without water, most water being stored deep within the crust or the cave systems far from the parched surface. The atmosphere is exceedingly hostile, being composed mostly of noble gases as well as large concentrations of ammonia, chlorine, and nitrogen. Oxygen is also present in the atmosphere, but not in sufficient quantities to provide adequate breathable air. Present in the atmosphere is Kaihonium, a relatively rare gaseous element used in various industrial processes.     
  
The unique color of the barren moon is partially attributed to an abundance of silicates and sulfuric dust deposited by ancient volcanic activity, however in the equatorial canyon in the poles there is still a degree of volcanic and seismic activity. Made primarily of tholeiitic basalt and andesite the moon is generally geologically insignificant, apart from the massive canyon that stretches across the equator, consisting of predominately barren plains and deserts, with mountain ranges in the poles and the equator. Occasionally one can find deposits of detritus left by the ancient warp storms dotting the landscape, these morose monoliths mitigating the monotony of the multicolored mesa. Such monuments are typically bits of derelict space hulk or fallen satellites or even pieces of the Brimstone itself, all of these too far from the Hive to have been gathered by scavenging parties. 

The interior of the moon is vastly more interesting, vast cave systems lacing the entirety of the crust, some even theorized to stretch into the lower mantle, but no efforts have been made to fully map the seemingly endless subterranean landscape as most expeditions find themselves either lost to the depths or made prey by "fauna". The earth is not without benefit however, as these cave systems have yielded great amounts of rare ores such as adamantium and palladium, with sizable amounts of more common earth metals such as iron and aluminum; however, aggressive mining practices have seriously depleted the earth's bounty. 

The atmosphere of Hua Yuan is made of mostly Noble Gases and Halogens, as well as Chlorine and Ammonia existing in plentiful quantities. Oxygen and sodium are also present in various chemical compounds and particulates in the air, such as Carbon Monoxide and Sodium Chloride. This unique atmospheric composition of the moon is the other factor in the coloring of the planet, mainly due to Kaihonium bonding with noble gases resulting in vivid chemical compounds known as "grades". Higher grade Kahonium compounds will typically involve rarer gases such as xenon or radon. The abundance of Neon, Helium, and Kaihonium in the atmosphere results in great amounts of low grade Kaihonium compounds (the distinction between the element and the compound is hardly ever made considering elemental Kaihonium's rarity. The compound is typically referred to as [bonded element] Kaihonium, like Neon Kaihonium).

Due to Kaihonium's natural radioactive radiance (as well as that of other attendant gases), the extreme electrical storms caused by the invasive magnetosphere of Hotung IX, and abundant light pollution from the Hive, much of the moon is bathed in a low glow, Hua Yuanese summer afternoon's, when its sun is at apex the, the day can be almost blinding. This effect is also notable during the winters, when blizzards sweep in Atmospheric particulates creating a dazzling effect that can be observed for miles. 

Temperatures on the planet are often extreme, Hua Yuanese winters offering blizzards made of ammonia and salt crystals and plains dust capable of shredding a voidsuit in seconds with winds in excess of 230 miles per hour. The summers usually bring storms, electrical storms that light the sky in bright neon lighting, and occasionally there will be light sulfuric rains as well.
