Li-Jing

Li-Jing is a planet taken over by The Dah'kl Empire, formerly bristling with forests, however has been deforested and polluted to the point of a complete and utter planet-wide nuclear winter. It's most notable native inhabitants were hyper-evolved plant-based organisms called Xeriks who had gained high amounts of sentience, quickly becoming a spacefaring race, and utilizing bioships, also able to use the electrons produced through their photosynthesis activities as beam attacks when highly focused. though were isolated from all other parts of Aquiritis. However, they were conquered upon the dah'kl empire's discovery of their planet, and wiped out entirely, with the bioships being taken out by a pathogen engineered to attack them.

After the destruction of the xerik race, Li-Jing had went under a complete and hostile takeover, as the dah'kl empire began to remove all forests, seeds, and plants as to prevent the xeriks or anything equivalent to them from returning or being created. They then began to commence a large-scale Orbital Bombardment using Dictator-Class Warships to sweep the planet, and within the first second of impact a entire continent sunk to the ocean floor, tsunamis flooded cities and left nothing behind, the atmosphere burned up as the air became toxic, and the sky briefly turned red, nuclear winter eventually freezing the entire planet. Out of trillions, not a single thing that resembled what Li-Jing once was remained, a dull and lifeless husk of it's former self replacing it and the space it occupied...

After the bombardment by the dah'kl empire's hands, factories were built to create starships and weaponry, further setting pollution in to consume the ruined planet. Electrical Poles were littered across the entire planet's surface to draw upon the electromagnetic storms thundering across the planet, mining operations tunneling into the planet and setting up underground bunkers, destroying the natural life and further draining the planet of it's color, storms covering and darkening it all. What it was before the bombardment was lost to time, as in the end it was no longer natural, and more industrial and cybernetic.
