Fora I is a mesoplanet in the Fora system, United Empire of Earth (UEE). A hot, dry planet that closely orbits its sun, temperatures on its surface are dangerously high for most spacecraft. A ridge runs along the equator of Fora I, forming a complex system of peaks. Scientists are uncertain what caused the ridge to form, but one hypothesis suggests that the mesoplanet once had a ring system that eventually raised the ridge via collisional accretion.
