E'blanche

E'blanche is the 68th planet orbiting around Tanwen, the central star of the Canol system. The planet was populated by the Leonis chapter under agreement by the Manteler-Human Act in RE4,692.

Observation
E'blanche was first observed by Manteler astronomer Sawyl Henbryd in BE74,157 and was designated a stable planet. It joined the Catalog Planedol in the Library of Mantela, where all observations were kept and updated by the Manteler species.

Colonisation
Following the pact between Mantelers and Humanity, the planet was colonised by the Leonis chapter who had been traveling for more than five years. Their leader at the time, Baptiste Croix, founded a temporary residential base, which was eventually known as Crin.

Etymology
The planet's name derives from the French words, "eau" and "blanche", meaning "water" and "white" respectively. The Leonis chapter named the planet for a description of it's snow-capped mountainous landscape and icy seas on the north and south poles.

Geography
The planet is broken up into two three main geographical zones, the White North Sea, the White South Sea and the White Mountain Land. These are separated almost symmetrically between the north pole, south pole and around the equator, respectively.

White North Sea
The white north sea is composed predominantly of a vast ocean, which is in liquid state underneath a mile-thick ice-cap. The sea itself is mostly unexplored due to the fact that temperatures can reach as low as 180K. However, marine-biologists inside the Cannes Rig have succeeded in discovering a deep-sea, freshwater pit, which is contained and sold in the local planetary neighbourhood.
