Planet Ishfu (惑星イシュフ, Wakusei Ishufu ) is amongst the last planets created by the Central Kai, Diera. It's current main inhabitants are the Superior Saiyans. The planet possesses a gravity nearly a hundred times stronger than that of their previous world, Planet Sadala. They arrived on Ishfu sometime after being separated from the rest of the their race. While not immediate the Saiyans on this planet would soon begin evolving differently than others, something attributed to their own decisions.
Planetary Description[]
Characteristics[]
Prior to 102 Years Before Age[]
From the outside this planet can be seen as a mixture of purple and blue hues, a result of the Planets dense atmosphere. Below this façade reveals a myriad of mountain ranges, oceans and incredibly lush forests inhabited by creatures unlike many other beings of Universe 7, infact, they more closely resembled those found within the Demon Realm. This biodiversity can be attributed to the God of Creation Deira creating this planet as a means of resurrecting her race. While no beings resembling the Glind ever emerged here many other Plant-based creatures did. For years this planet went undisturbed, untouched by any external force, at least until the arrival of the Saiyans.
Alongside Ishfu is its resident moon, a gem like celestial body with a turquoise hue and little atmosphere, exposing its rocky appearance.

A few years after the arrival of the Saiyans.
102 Years Before Age - Age 253[]
During this time the Divine Energy of the Saiyans enriched this planet beyond even its former glory. The planet would take on a brighter appearance as if it were glowing in its own radiance. The atmosphere would become even denser, yet the weather became even more stable as if the entire planet were a tropical forest. Even at its highest peaks trees could be seen grown unimpeded.
It's believed that thanks to the influx of energy provided by their new inhabitance that even more diverse life began to emerge.
Age 253 - Central Age 357[]
In Age 253 the once divine race of Saiyans decided to forgo their Divine Energy and seal it away for the sake of peace. However, due cascading domino effect the Saiyans would eventually begin of harvesting the resources of their planet leading to barren a wasteland upon their surface devoid of an life outside of the Saiyans themselves. The Saiyans in question stayed within domes cities, a protection from the very disaster they caused.
The once dense atmosphere that covered the planet years ago has since dissipated revealing the rocky surface as only shades of brown can be seen with little hints of ice at the poles. The once great oceans now nothing but a deeper layer to the mantel.
Even the moon of this planet wasn't safe as the Saiyans even began mining here as well, so much so in fact that the celestial body noticeably decreased in size 10%.
Central Age 357 -???[]
Similar to the previous era the planet remained as dead as it was before the only notable changes being the additions created by the Saiyans. Now the planet possesses a large energy array deemed "The Veil" created to maintain a breathable atmosphere as well as two space stations designed with the primary designation to maintain the energy array. Now with a breathable atmosphere the Saiyans branched out from the domed cities, however, with no natural materials such as wood the only means for rebuilding were stone and metal, leading to silver and gray patches to litter the planet.
While the moon was no longer harvested for its materials it had been reduced to 80% its original size with the addition of two massive lunar bases upon its surface.

Inhabitants[]
Super Saiyan God (Race)[]
From 102 years before Age to Age 253 the branch of Saiyans known as the Super Saiyan God Race would become the predominant species of Planet ishfu. Very few physical characteristics separated them from their origin as Ancient Saiyans, rather, the main difference being the energy they wielded. As descendants of Yamoshi these Saiyans inherited the divine power of God Ki bestowed upon them by the Central Kai, Deira. Because of this they exhibited characteristics differing from their counterparts. An example of this being their lifespans as they were able to live nearly twice as long. In addition to this they were also able to strike a balance with the nature around them as their divine energy fed into the planet itself, providing them with all the resources they could ever need. Despite this the Saiyans still maintained an affinity for battle and by extension war. With their abilities of a divine nature it was only a matter of time that they would return to a state of war once more and because of this a deal needed to be struck.
Superior Saiyans[]
Descendants of the Super Saiyan God Race after forgoing their divinity. This race is far more grounded than their predecessors as they relied on the usage of science rather than divine energies. However, due to this change the planet began to suffer. With the saiyans take more from the planet than it could replenish the planets fate was sealed. Its this iteration of Saiyans that would bring about the neigh ruin of Planet Ishfu as its surface quickly became barren in a few hundred years.
History[]
Planet Ishfu has gone through two major eras of change since the arrival of the Saiyans and seems to be on the cusp of a third. In the beginning, (102 Yrs Before Age) it was at its most diverse. In terms of its creatures and its vegetation, very few could compare to the beauty this planet held. For over three hundred years (102 Yrs Before Age - Age 253) the planet flourished with its new inhabitants, their divine energy enriching the planet itself. However, due to a near conflict with their sister race a deal was struck and the major powers of both races were sealed away, leading to a new era for the planet.
From here the once prosperous planet of Ishfu began to see its resources taken advantage of. With the sealing of their divine power, their civilization was changed in an instant, leading to a more technological era for their race. As the years passed on (Age 253 - Central Age 357 (366 Years)) more and more of the planet transformed from dense forests and flowing rivers to a sea of sand and decreasing biodiversity. The Saiyan's lust for knowledge and advancement leads to the crippling of their ecosystem. Eventually, not even they could deny the mistreatment of their planet as the atmosphere itself became unbreathable and the weather, unpredictable. This led them to establish domed cities in which they could take refuge from the harsh world they'd created. Realizing this the leaders of the Saiyans advocated for a new program, one to save their withering planet.
The implementation of Project Occasio Swarm began the planet's steps into a new era, one not of destruction but not necessarily one of healing either. This massive undertaking involved not only the Planet but its nearest star, Occasio, as well. Through the channeling of Occasio's solar energy via a Dyson Swarm the Saiyans no longer required the resources of their planet. At this point, however, it seemed as though the planet could no longer fully recover. While the atmosphere became breathable once again this wasn't through natural means. The forests that once created fresh breathable air were no more and despite the Saiyan's efforts, no flora wouldn't grow.
This resulted in grander and more advanced means to guarantee their livelihood. One of these measures being The Veil, an energy-based shield that envelopes the planet, allowing an atmosphere to culminate while also providing a necessary defensive layer against external threats, namely the Remnants.
