Iglacies

Iglacies, meaning Fire and Ice, is the second planet from the star Calux.The planet is tidally locked to its star, meaning one side of the planet always faces Calux (always light, always hot), and one side never does (always dark, always cold). The Calux side reaches temperatures as hot as 900°F (482°C), and it's opposite end is permanently -279°F (-173°C). It's nearly impossible for organic life to exist on the planet, but rumor tells of some small cave systems on the border of fire and ice that are just the right temperature for organic life to survive. That is, if they haven't already been hunted to extinction by what lives at either side.
