Adamas

Climate: Extremely humid

Terrain: Mostly rainforest

Species: Diamaunde

Level of Technology: Above Archonate Standard

Strategic Classification: Varied

Additional Notes: Adamas has an extremely uncommon atmosphere, which is mainly composed of a very thick cloud of carbon gas. This, along with the planet's high temperatures and shifts in atmospheric pressure, causes it to rain diamonds. The carbon gas had a major effect in the evolution of life on the planet, causing most plant-life to be toxic to outsiders, and for most of the wild life to consist mainly of an organic form of carbon. Many other species have tried to find a way to poach the enormous supply of diamonds from Adamas, but have failed to get past the gas cloud. The Diamaunde people are the only sentient species able to inhabit the planet due to its toxic environment.
