ReDawn is a gas giant; it has no surface, save for the metal core at the planet's center.{{book ref|sf2|12}} Rather than East and West, directions are given as dawnward and duskward, referencing the sun's rising and setting.{{book ref|sf2|9}} It takes approximately one Earth week for
Most of ReDawn's atmosphere is
The island trees grow up to fifty kilometres tall.{{book ref|sf2|8}} They have layers of bark, thicker at the base and thinner near the branches, though even far above, the bark can be as much as six feet deep. As
ReDawn has no naturally-flying fauna, as none would survive venturing out into the miasma.{{book ref|sf2|4}} Nonetheless, UrDail have formed societies on the trees even before the invention of powered flight -- as the islands float in the atmosphere, they occassionally collide with each other, allowing for travel between them.{{wob ref|15105}}
=== Notable Locations ===
Most inhabited locations on ReDawn are the island trees. Known island trees include:
{{columns|count=2|
* Reaching - known for UrDail with slightly rosier skin tone{{book ref|sf2|1}}
}}
Additionally, the planet possesses a notable unnatural structure -- [[Wandering Leaf]], a military defense platform leftover from UrDail's alliance with humanity. The platform, automated and fully autonomous, is drifting ever close to the island tree of Hollow, threatening it with its autoturrets.{{book ref|sf2|3}} Eventually, however, [[Detritus]] humans manage to land on the platform and reactivate its functions, such as teleportation and mind blade cannon, turning it into an asset for ReDawn.{{book ref|sf2|21}}

=== Relations with Superiority ===▼
▲UrDail became a spacefaring species some centuries before the Third [[Human War]]. During the war, their history of alliances with humanity continued, with two species working together.{{book ref|sky2|10}} After humans lost the war and were nearly wiped out, ReDawn government began to call this period of time a human occupation of the planet, possibly to save themselves from a similar fate.{{book ref|sky2|8}} Their alliance nonetheless has raised some doubts within the [[Superiority]] as to whether the UrDail were fit to join them.{{book ref|sky2|10}} The UrDail were permitted to live, however, the decision at least in part motivated by the metal-rich core of the planet making it a valuable asset for Superiority's economy.{{book ref|sf2|15}}
While ReDawn
▲=== Superiority ===
▲While ReDawn dealt with Superiority, the planet was not permitted to become a full member of it, owning to their prior alliance.{{book ref|sky2|10}} As such, for the next hundred years diplomatic contact was largely limited to negotiating and renegotiating trade agreements on metal exports.{{book ref|sf2|1}} The situation began to change when a number of non-Superiority species, including the [[UrDail]], were invited to participate in the nascent Delver defence force.{{book ref|sky2|8}}
To enforce their demands, Superiority sent a battleship into the atmosphere to threaten the inhabited island trees. However, Alanik fled the Unity forces to [[Detritus]], where she forged an alliance with local humans. Using [[taynix]], the Defiants managed to defend the remaining Independence military and restore [[Wandering Leaf]]'s functionality. Using its mindblade cannon, they destroyed the battleship and granted ReDawn much-needed reprive.{{book ref|sf2|21}}
▲Unfortunately, in the aftermath of the ReDawn representative being replaced with [[Spensa]], and Spensa revealing her true identity, the relations between the two countries began to break down as Superiority accused ReDawn of harbouring humans. As a result, the ruling party of Unity scrambled to offer up something to Superiority to forestall their preemptive destruction. Lacking actual humans, they settled on giving up their [[cytonics]], as well as the leader of the anti-Superiority Independence faction, [[Rinakin]].{{book ref|sf2|2}} However, one of the cytonics, [[Alanik]], managed to forge an alliance between Independence and humans of [[Detritus]]. As a result of their cooperation, the Superiority battleship in the planet's atmosphere was destroyed, granting ReDawn much-needed reprive.{{book ref|sf2|21}}

{{for|UrDail|more about ReDawn's native inhabitants}}
ReDawn is the homeworld and seemingly only planet inhabited by the [[UrDail]]; as such, its culture is their culture. The UrDail appear mostly humanoid in biology and appearance, albeit with purple skin and white bone ridges under their eyes.{{book ref|sky2|8}} They had

=== Sports ===
ReDawn's primary sporting events are games played using starfighters. The sport involves two teams of
Participation in matches is a necessary step to being recruited into either of the planet's air forces, though other factors, such as being a [[cytonic]], allow for skipping it.{{book ref|sf2|1}} As such, aggressive behaviour and working alone are both highly encouraged -- a pilot must "prove themselves" by actively participating in the fight.{{book ref|sf2|9}}{{book ref|sf2|8}}
}}
Mining, conducted by private mining corps, is the largest known industry on ReDawn.{{book ref|sf2|1}} Both the planet's core and the island trees are mined, one for metals, the other for wood. Lumber mining operations are conducted by lumberyards in dead island trees, such as Hollow. Mined wood is exported from there -- it's unclear if the
Metal, on the other hand, can only be found in ReDawn's solid core. There, it is present in large abundance and variety, which is why the Superiority became interested in the planet in the first place.{{book ref|sf2|15}} Teams in heavy protective gear, including breathing apparatus to deal with the miasma, are sent to the core by the mining corps to exploit it for resources, which are later sold to the Superiority. Maintaining the trade deals on metal appears to be the primary way ReDawn and Superiority interact.{{book ref|sf2|1}}
