Adulescens is an unusual terrestrial world that survived its star's destruction. Its pale mineral plains are rich in phosphorus and chromium, while water remains trapped beneath its surface. Despite intense radiation, it may still support life.
Why is this a Exotic Terrestrial?Your planet builds its crust from exotic minerals (16.7% calcium/titanium/aluminum-family rock formers) instead of the silicate-iron recipe every standard rocky world uses.
Exotic terrestrials are temperate solid worlds whose geology skipped the silicate playbook - carbonate plains, titanium-gray mesas, alkali flats. They can hold air, water ingredients, and real habitability, but with no silicate continents or iron core they are their own class, not earth-likes.
Classification Criteria:
✓ Exotic rock formers: 16.7% (>=12% Ca/Ti/Al/K/Ni/U)✓ Standard rock: 5.6% (<15% - silicate rules never claimed it)✓ Temperature: 278K (240-380K temperate band)✓ Air + water ingredients: 33.3% O+H (>=15%) with an atmosphere

Contributing Factors
water90
Good water content — shielded under ice and rock, a subsurface refuge could outlast the blast
geology90
Active geology recycles nutrients and drives carbon cycle
rotation60
Fast rotation - strong global wind patterns and weather systems, but manageable
Organic Chemistry75
All CHNOPS elements present - building blocks of life - chlorine-laced environment attacks organic molecules
atmosphere70
Nitrogen atmosphere provides protection but not breathable
temperature100
Optimal temperature range for liquid water and life
magnetic Field100
Magnetic field provides radiation protection — but the remnant's shock fronts flood this orbit with cosmic rays
