Somewhere in the expanse of the universe, lightyears away from Earth, stood a planet half the size of Pluto. Suffice it to say, with its surface area only comparable to that of a large country on Earth, the population within the planet was packed almost like sardines— perhaps an exaggeration, but it was closer to the truth if anything.
Hotis 4J is also used as a sort of transport hub— an outpost at the very end of the known and chartered Universe. It is also the planet closest to Earth that actually has sentient and intelligent life.
Still, even with its population larger than what it could accommodate, Hotis 4J was and is a peaceful place for travellers and explorers to rest before they delve into the Unknown.
Lots of different species and races lived there— some couldn't even be described as humanoid anymore. There are others that have evolved from their insect ancestors, and some that are more akin to that of a snail.
...damn.
