Alterash Prime
Alterash Prime is a subtype of 
Alterash. It can be found as a satellite near frozen stars. Just like alterash, these planets have a highly ionized atmosphere, which majorly affects the nature of the planet and attracts nearby stardust.
Unfortunately, due to extremely cold surroundings, the athmosphere here is supercondactive, leading to unstable environments with supercharged air.
One of these environments is Evarus Prime, which protects the planet from freezing by interacting with excessive cryo energy.
Evarus Prime also prevents stardust from fully crystalizing, allowing it to form energy-rich 
alternia crystals instead.
Below the surface of an Alterash Prime planet is a semi-empty space called Esetera - a natural formation, the result of the planet’s unstable conditions. Below Esetera is another supercharged area of the planet, giving its core additional protection from cold.
The planet is under partial control of 
EDS, and its territory is covered with defensive drones and other alta technology.

Hazards
The water throughout the planet is electrified, meaning it will constantly deal electric damage. This effect can be blocked by Electric Immunity.
All monsters and critters on the planet have full immunity to electric status effects.
Other prominent hazards may include: 
EDS Halters, 
Tesla Spikes, 
Bishyn Crystals, Alternia Crystals, 
Isospawners, 
Phosphobulbs
Dungeons
- Surface (1-2): Miniknog Test Facility, Miniknog Base
- Esetera Depths (3-4): Wreck, Cultist Lair
Resources
These are valuable items, objects and materials, that can be found on the planet.
Note that this list is generalized and doesn’t list all the things you can find, for such lists refer to individual biomes listed in the biomes section.

Structure
This is a list of biomes that can be found on this planet. You can find them below, sorted by the layer they appear on.
Biomes
Asteroids
Asteroid layer contains following biomes:
Enternia Asteroids (primary)
Evarus Prime
Evarus Prime (eng. “Air Force” Prime) is an alta classification for the highly-ionized atmosphere of Alterash Prime. The closer to the ozon layer of the planet, the less stable the air is, filled with alternia energy and acting as a sort of “energy shield” of the planet.
This field is also the reason for the almost complete abscense of any 
stardust crystals on the surface of the planet - Evarus Prime simply doesn’t allow any falling stardust to properly crystallize, turning it into alternia-charged crystals. These high-capacity crystals are later used as long-lasting energy
sources by altas.
Ingame Evarus Prime occupies whole Atmosphere layer of the planet. This area is mostly empty, inhabitated mostly by ethereal flying creatures.
Additionally, the air here is supercharged, meaning that without special protection, the player will constantly experience an 
ionic stroke.
This effect is absent near the Asteroid layer of the planet. Because of this, Evarus Prime acts as an obstacle for the player trying to get to the Asteroid layer of the planet in search for 
enternia-enhanced moonrock clumps.
Contains following biomes:
Surface
The Surface layer of the planet. Contains following biomes:
Esetera Entrance
A Subsurface layer biome that acts as a ceiling for the layer below. Contains following biomes:
Esetera
Esetera (eng. “Empty Place”) is an underground abyss on Alterash Prime. A gargantuan space, formed by the unstable ionized nature of the planet. Altas generally use this space to hide their laboratories and facilities from kaiter scouting groups and military squads. Most of these structures can be found nearly halfway down to the bottom, almost engraved into the massive natural pillars that literally “hold” the surface of the planet. This is due to the fact that Esetera Depths - the bottom of Esetera, and its actual “surface” - posseses even more danger due to its instability and numerous hazards. Read more about it here: 
What Is Esetera
Ingame Esetera occupies almost half of Subsurface, whole Shallow Underground and Mid Underground layers of the planet.
The Shallow Underground layer, or the main part of Esetera, consists of asteroid-like islands held up by massive natural moonrock pillars, sometimes with numerous labs and stations attached to them.
Contains following biomes:
Hidden Alta Labs (primary)
Gheatorn
Tonnova Grove
Esetera Depths
The bottom of Esetera, and its actual “surface”. Apart from ubiquitous dangers, the surface is strewn with alternia crystals, as well as numerous deep caves that sometimes can lead right to the core of the planet.
These caves, also known as Esetera Caves, act as a natural shield, protecting the core of the planet from high ionization.
Ingame Esetera Depths are a generally traversable surface-like space with mostly unpleasant conditions, rich on ionic crystals. This is a Mid Underground layer that acts as flooring for the layer above. Has overcharged air. Contains following biomes:
- Alta Lab Debris (primary)
Aric
Bishyn Halls
Hevikara
Esetera Caves
The Deep Underground layer are regular deep caves with mostly hard-to-break materials. Contains the largest amount of ionic crystals.
The air in Esetera Depths and Esetera Caves is overcharged, meaning that without special protection, the player will constantly experience negative effects.
This effect is absent near the Core layer of the planet.
Contains following biomes:
- Hevika Tunnels (primary)
- Ionic Hive
Ion Core
This is a mostly barren core layer with dense materials close to the ionic core of the planet. Read more about it here: 
Ion Core Monitoring
Contains following biomes:
Barren Ion Core (primary)

Additional Info
Navigation Console
- The planet is partially covered in snow. Plasts of crystals and prisms can be found here, buried in the ground.
- Scanners show this planet is covered in grass plains and snowy canyons. Detected strong ionic impulses throughout the atmosphere. Be careful.
- It seems like this planet is teeming with crystals. Scanners detect
alternia in the atmosphere, as well as high levels of electric charges. - Planet is covered in snow and crystals. Additionally, the data suggests it is best to not land there at night or during bad weather.
- High sources of alternia energy detected. Pieces of blue crystals are scattered among plasts of moonstone and moonrocks.
- A stardust-compatible planet. Be cautious of high electricity levels in the air. Geoanalysis detects rare plasts of
gheatsyn underground. - This planet is inhabited by lifeforms compatible with or immune to alternia effects. The flora consists of rare crops and plants.
Planet Lore
This electrified planet is the primary and only home of altas. Rumors are that the planet was chosen due to its unfriendly, yet habitable, adaptable climate. Filled with stardust and alternia, this planet is full of efficient energy sources and valuable resources.
Trivia
- its body mostly consists of the same blocks that can usually be only found on moons.
