Introduction
Tiren is the third planet in the Sigma Tau solar system.
The planet is home to an indidenous sentient species that call themselves the Tirensu which dwell in clans and have a matriarchal system of leadership. The 'Chanter' is the repository of the wisdom and tales passed down through the clans and guides the people, adjudicating disputes and holding the people to certain codes of conduct.
Ecosphere
Tiren's atmosphere is of standard Oxygen/Nitrogen mix with suspended water vapor and trace gases stabndard to a Class M planet however the atmosphere is much denser than normal due to greenhouse gases and a thich ozone layer which results in a steamy though lush atmosphere in the equitorial region which has made for an abnormally wide tropical/subtropical region.
Northern and southern latitudes however are quite temperate and due to their higher elevation above sea level are noticeably cooler than Earth. The polar regions though small are packed in ice year round.
Cooler temperatures in the temperate regions then moderate overall global temperature, making total mean temperatures only slightly above that of Earth.
The tropical and sub-tropical regions then are amazingly rich and lush and full of plant and animal life. There is also a tremendously wide biodiversity in the other more temperate regions as well and in the seas and surface fresh water.
Tiren was first seen in the USS Hades mission A Day in the Sun
