At a Glance
Proxima I- sometimes referred to as Proxima Prime or Bon Proxima by the natives- is the first planet in the Proxima Centauri star system. It was the first interstellar planet for Earth's governments to charter and colonize. It is also within the closest star system to the Sol System. It is often nicknamed the "Jade Jewel" by natives, noting its color from orbit.
Life Forms
Proxima I harbors advanced multicellular life forms of flora, fauna, and fungi. Proxima's periods do not exactly coincide with an Earth equivalent but seem to be at a similar level of diversity and abundance found during the early Permian period. However, there are notable exceptions and absences, making the Proximan ecosystem unique.
