Qrichie (/ˈkɹi:t͡ʃieɪ̯/, Jegcre: Qrichĩẽ /ƾ̤ιƈι̤͜ҽ̤/) is the third planet from the star Tbeew. It is the homeworld of the Ee'koi.

Name

The name Qrichie comes from Jegcre qri chĩẽ meaning "all seas", which is the Jegcre name for the planet. It is known under different names in each native language, such as X in Y or Z in W. It is also designated by humans as Tbeew III, after its position from its host star, and as AIC 1419 III in the Astra Incognita Catalogue.

Surface

Qrichie’s surface is almost entirely covered in liquid water, with only small landmasses and islands dotting the ocean. It generally has warm climates, roughly similar to tropical and subtropical climates on Earth, ranging from humid rainforests to drier savannas and deserts. Due to the planet orbiting a K0-type main sequence star, photosynthetic species (analogous to plants) exhibit orange-brown hues.

Orbit and rotation

Rotation

Qrichie's rotation period relative to its host star—its mean solar day—is 65,952 seconds of mean solar time, or around 18 hours, 19 minutes and 12 seconds.

Orbit

Qrichie is the third planet from Tbeew, after Xeciq Tbeew and Qotiq Jiehoc. Qrichie's average orbital distance is about 104.7 million km (65.1 million mi), or 0.70 astronomical units, which is equal to roughly 5.82 light-minutes. Qrichie orbits Tbeew ever 306.708 solar days, which is equal to 234.120 standard days or 0.641 solar years.

Axial tilt and seasons

Qrichie has a very slight axial tilt of approximately 2.0023°, which leads to fairly consistent climates year-round.
