Byss (Outer Rim Territories)/Legends

''This article is about the homeworld of the Abyssin. For other uses of the name Byss, see Byss (disambiguation)''

The Outer Rim world of Byss was the home of the Abyssin. It circled the binary stars Byss and Abyss in an unusual figure-eight orbit. This resulted in an arid climate which became unbearably hot when the planet passed between its two suns (a nightless period called "The Burning".) Much of the animal life of Byss either hibernated during the hottest part of Byss's year, or lived entirely underground. Byss's animals also evolved various systems to conserve water, such as the Abyssin ability to quickly regenerate from injuries to minimize blood loss.
