Dinom: a Description

There was a workers revolution on Dinom in 1110, which has lead to the classification as a temporary Amber Zone. Communication and transport between the three cities on the planet remains very difficult.

The axis of Dinom lies in the plane of the ecliptic, and the planet's rotation is perpendicular to the ecliptic. Precession of Dinom's axis proceeds at 0.225 degrees per year, meaning that every 800 years the world reverses the pole that is facing the sun. While one pole is facing the sun this "BRight Face" is baked into vacuum while the opposite "Cold Face" collects the frozen atmosphere in deep crevasses. In intermediate periods, when Dinom's axis is perpendicular to the sun, it experiences "normal" day-night thermal cycles, the frozen gasses sublime to create a breathable atmosphere, and plant-life sprouts from seeds germinated over centuries.

Dinom is currently 70 years past its most recent "Bright / Cold Face" phase, and its axis is now alinged 21.6 degrees away from the sun. This twilight day-night cycle near the equator is allowing the first traces of atmosphere to reappear, but this will not reach its full density for another 330 years.
