Zuyle

Zuyle, the homeworld of the philes, was nightmarish cauldron of ceaseless volcanic activity and violent storms, of brief blinding-hot days and by long frigid nights. The flora and fauna had evolved appropriately to so murderous an environment- poisonous, flesh eating vegetation, venomous crawling things, mammoth armored beasts. Everything that walked or swam or flew or crept or burrowed on Zuyle was adapted to survival under the deadliest of conditions, and the philes were the dominant species of that world.
