Planet Description
Elyria is a unique terrestrial planet distinguished by anomalous low-density geological formations and localized gravitational variations that result in buoyant landmasses suspended within its dense atmospheric column. The crust contains high concentrations of crystalline silica and piezoelectric quartz minerals, which produce measurable electromagnetic resonance when subjected to atmospheric pressure differentials. Surface structures exhibit advanced acoustic properties due to the planet's atmospheric density (1.15 kg/m³ at sea level) and composition, enabling efficient sound propagation. The atmosphere's elevated neon content (30 ppm) contributes to distinctive luminescent phenomena within crystalline geological structures. Tectonic analysis reveals fault lines rich in optically-active mineral deposits that refract incident stellar radiation.
