Dimidium
51 Pegasi b, a hot jovian world; the first extrasolar planet discovered around a main sequence star. It has an orbital period of about 4.23 standard days.
Today Dimidium is best known for its synanotech vacuum balloon ecology, first synthesized in the 32nd century AT, with additional updates and expansions over the next six centuries. Programmed to evolve at a rapid rate, today almost none of the organisms resemble those added back then. New species have regularly been provolved, with many of these later colonizing new hot jovians on the Terragen frontier. At present, it is home to 84 different sophont clades, of which all but 10 are native to the planet.
