ORVIM

MOON OF CEPI





Back to orvim

Orvim is a moon of Cepi. This is a water moon that is mostly free of ice, except at the poles. There are many dormant underwater volcanoes on this moon. A white foam of unknown origin covers much of the ocean. The lava, magma, and steam that come from these volcanoes create hydrothermal vents. The steam from the vents then rises up to the surface of the ocean. The steam also contains trace amounts of some minerals and salts that are not found on any other moon in the Vela system.

The foam is formed from these rare salt-like minerals. The oceans appear to be deeper towards the center part of Orvim. As the oceans get closer to the poles the water temperature significantly drops and so does the mineral content. These areas of cooler water are the source for the foam and volcanoes. There are also lots of the more common minerals found on moon of Orvim. There is no land on Orvim, but there are large amounts of small Oceania ruins and large structures along the ocean bottom.


Many sea-like creatures can be found on Orvim, The" contulo's" are large creatures that have four legs and long neck. The "Eft's" is an animal that looks similar to a dolphin, it can fly using hydrostatic pressure. The oceans also hold a large variety of other water-bearing creatures. Many of the smaller creatures have blue skin and purple eyes. The larger ones have dark green skin and blue eyes. These creatures are aquatic and live in the deeper parts of the ocean. Some creatures have hard shells that protect them against large predators. These creatures are just a few examples of the variety of life that can be found in the oceans of Orvim.



Orvim is the second smallest moon of Cepi. Orvim has a ring of comets orbiting around it. The ring of the comets is tilted with the equator of Cepi. The rings are a few hundred kilometers in size and are very hard to see. Its common to see smaller comets entering the atmosphere on Orvim, these comets sometimes produce large tidal waves. These tidal waves are a crucial part of the balance on Orvim. They move the water and materials in the ocean. The tidal waves help to break down the large clumps of algae in the water. This algae is the primary source of food for aquatic life. This type of algae has a symbiotic relationship with the microorganisms living in the ocean water. The algae use the microorganisms to make energy and reproduce. It is then able to grow. It is a single-celled organism. This organism is extremely tiny and can only be seen in microscopic pieces. The algae can be found in many areas of the oceans, but are most abundant in the cold, deep areas of the ocean. There is a very fine balance between the algae and the ocean. The ocean needs algae to survive, but the algae needs the ocean to survive. The algae are consumed by the microorganisms. The microorganisms use the energy from the algae to produce energy and reproduce. In turn, it produces oxygen. This cycle then repeats over and over again. The oxygen also helps to break down the carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide and water.



There are only a handful of predators on Orvim. These predators are very rare on Orvim. Most of the predators have adapted to the deep depths of the ocean. One of the predators on Orvim is the "Cteno's" The "Cteno's" are a species of sea cow. The "Cteno's" have very large jaws and a longhorn on its head. These predators eat smaller crustaceans and fish. They are the most common predator on Orvim. Another predator on Orvim is the "Cyno's". The "Cyno's" are a larger version of the "Cteno's". They also have a very large jaw and a longhorn on its head. These predators are very aggressive and will attack anything that moves in front of them. These large horns cut the surface of the ocean and create a feeding frenzy for any smaller aquatic creatures. The "Cyno's" like to hide in the deep areas of the ocean where the sunlight is very limited.


The seashells of Orvim are some of the most unique and beautiful shells in the universe. The seashells come in a wide variety of colors and are also very heavy. Some of the shells have a strong chemical bond with their hosts. They are made up of little tiny rare minerals that hold their shells together. The seashells have every color in the spectrum and are similar to Opals. These shells are very rare on Orvim. The shell coloration is caused by the deep ocean colors. These colors reflect the different shades of reds and maroons. The colors of the shells of Orvim are a way to show the beauty of the ocean.


Another rare animal on Orvim is the "Kouls". These are two-headed fish that have a mouth in the front of their heads and a mouth in the back of their heads. The "Kouls" is sometimes known as the "devil fish". The "Kouls" has a very strange way of life. These two mouthed fish will sometimes swim right through a school of fish. The fish will then attach themselves to a small piece of rock or coral and will hold on for dear life. The two-headed fish will then eat the small fish. The two-headed fish are very important to the ecology of Orvim. They are the primary source of food for the "Chiriba's". The "Chiriba's" are small fish that are very social creatures. The Chiriba's have a symbiotic relationship with the "Cteno's" The "Chiriba's" are the primary swarms on Orvim. They eat the small crustaceans that are found on Orvim. The "Chiriba's" also are the primary source of food for the "Cteno's". The "Chiriba's" eat the smaller crabs and other small crustaceans.
