Armeni

Armeni is a planet in the Sparta system of the Artemis Tau cluster.

Description
Armeni is a terrestial world with an unusually thin atmosphere of krypton and xenon. Its surface is composed of silica with deposits of carbonaceous materials.

History
The initial flyby probe of Armeni detected multiple areas at the equator with oddly regular surface protrusions.

Closer investigation revealed these as millions of elaborate crypts a few meter below the surface, left by a long-extinct space-faring species called the zeioph. Many human universities wish to perform archeological excavations. Council law holds grave sites as sacrosanct, however, and the matter has been tied up in court for a decade.
