Orbiting the super-jupiter gas giant Aeolus, Boreas is a hostile, barren frozen moon with extremely small hypersaline lakes barely hanging on. Even in these harsh conditions though, life finds a way. Boreas is home to its very own alien ecosystem.

  Boreas's biosphere is based on the BRMT deposits located all around the planet under the frozen surface. The ferrophytes (iron plants) use sun energy that is focused through their quartz lenses to activate enzymes that rapidly heat and carry the newly formed IRON to places that need growth. Extra energy is stored in the lenses or the tubers.

  Boreas's animals (only one shown here, the one with sections) use other enzymes to break down the plants, where they then eat the stored energy-rich matter and some BRMT to build their bodies. When plants and animals die, their IRON quickly rusts under the harsh conditions and falls back down under the ground to repeat the cycle.
