Corrosia Atmosphere: Difference between revisions

Line 23:

The air is dominated by [[Carbon Dioxide|CO₂]] and [[Sulfur Dioxide|SO₂]], with highly reactive traces of [[Hydrogen Chloride|HCl]] and [[Hydrofluoric Acid|HF]].

At surface pressures exceeding 4.8 atm, these compounds condense into molten acid clouds.

Lightning flashes not as plasma but as chemical combustion between descending vapor strata — a **reaction storm** where raindrops ignite upon contact with the ground.

Organic life is instantly annihilated; only energy-based or divine entities can exist here.

Some Continuum relics remain intact — believed to be ancient machines that **drink corrosion** as fuel, converting acid rain into psionic charge.

Corrosia-class worlds thus serve as entropy batteries for larger cosmic systems.
