Formyr

Planetary Data
Formyr is a strange space structure, which takes the form of a cylinder, seemingly filled to half of its volume with flora, elements and minerals that compose a traditional life-supporting terrestrial planet, with its atmosphere likely also having such characteristics.

The structure's biosphere has not been examined in detail. However, the flora consists of two sections with dense vegetation, an extensive desert, a mountain range and two tundra regions near the cylinder's bases. There are no main bodies of water, save for a giant lake near Formyr's center, while the fauna consists of probably microorganisms, animals and the Formycans.

The cylinder is constructed using a material similar to glass, but with special properties that have not been fully analyzed yet. It is also extraordinarily thick, having a diameter of around 100 kilometers.

It is not yet known how Formyr was built or who is responsible for its creation. Ruins have been spotted in multiple places, but they cannot be explored due to it being currently impossible to penetrate the glass without destroying the structure as a whole. Possible methods are being considered and concepted to enable docking of spacecraft on Formyr's inner surface.

Inhabitants
The Formycans are the only sentient beings in the entire structure. They appear to each be from a different species, and bear striking similarity to ants. Only 4 different species have been observed so far, with differing social structure and technological development. Further analysis is postponed until a way in is found.

Formycans seem to be the very numerous, forming large communities in the rainforests of the planet. They populate a large area, but do not form structures, save for their queen, which gets a large shed. Large agricultural fields have also been formed by those creatures, indicating that there has been technological development up to that point. Smaller groups composed of larger Formyycans are also scattered around the desert, roaming around while searching for sustenance. They do not seem to practice agriculture and live a nomad-like lifestyle, setting up camps during the night, or forming large clusters around their queen when they are not able to do so.

Minimal contact between those two large groups has been observed. The purpose of most interactions seems to be just for trade. Occasionally, small conflicts have been observed, but no large scale war seems to be ongoing. Further data will be collected as soon as communication between the natives of the planet is established.
