Appendix Entry: Rothi-En

Rothi-En, the homeworld of the Rothi, is a moon which orbits the planet Manta. Rothi-En has a diameter of 658 miles (1059 km). By comparison, the Earth's Moon has a diameter of 2,160 miles (3,476 km) while the largest known asteroid in the solar system is 592 miles (952 km) across. From space, the Rothi Moon appears emerald green due to the vegetation which covers its land masses. One third of the moon is covered by water and substantial amounts of water also exist below the surface. Rolling grasslands predominate the central latitudes of Rothi-En. In the southern latitudes tropical forests are common, while in the north are mountainous regions encircling a large polar ice cap.
