Boreal is the 3. planet in the Hyperborea (QFA287) system
written by users

Amidst the liquid oxygen and methane seas dwell many of odd creature. It is thought that they evolved on a warmer planet that became cold, adapting to the newer cold and eventually super cold environment. They drink their oxygen from the liquefied pools, absorb other gases though membranes similar to lungs, many are omnivorous even the vegetation. The main creatures that live here are the Bluevithans, a gigantic semi-LOX (that is they spend time submerged in the liquid oxygen) sentient creature that scours the land for meals while living in an under-LOX society LOX=Liquid OXygen

A quite unique science fiction wiki

Galaxiki is a completely new kind of science fiction and fantasy wiki, as it's a complete galaxy with millions of stars, planets and moons that are all represented by wiki pages. It's a collaborative community website where all users can help to fill the galaxy with life.

A wiki is software that allows users to create, edit, and link web pages easily, and one of the best known wikis is Wikipedia. Just as Wikipedia allows to edit articles, Galaxiki allows to edit stars, planets and moons. In fact you may consider each object in our science fiction galaxy to be one editable article:

You can name a star, and also name all of its planets and moons
You can edit physical properties of planets and moons (to some degree)
You can write articles and stories, describing planets and their histories for example

One of the most interesting points is that your work doesn't have to be isolated. In general we'd like to follow common physical rules, but as this is a science fiction site some physical rules can be broken, and that's how it's allowed to travel faster than light in our galaxy. Which means that species from different planets and solar systems can meet, and users have to take care to keep the entire histories and stories consistent.
