    Hey, we're back with one of these! I figured it was time to get back into the swing of things given that I am going to be slowing down with the Lore Entries for a bit in favor of doing some short stories. So here's another planet dossier.

- - - - -

JWUS-339
Designations: JW - Jungle World, US - Unique Substance

• JWUS-339 is a jungle world consisting of a unique substance that allows the planet to perpetually exist as a jungle world without the need for other geography and specific climate conditions.
• The organic substance at the poles takes the place of the ice caps, and facilitates the conditions necessary for it to survive.
• This planet appears to be the pet project of The Jungle God in an attempt to see if he could create such a planet and have it be stable in conventional reality. He has notably received help from The Grass God for this project.
• Evidently there was a tropical system moving up the west continent coast when the planet was documented.

SEUSWD-678 "Seus"
Designations: SE - Sentient, US - Unique Substance, WD - White Dwarf

• SEUSWD-678 is a white dwarf with the properties of a planet that creates a unique substance that animates it. Research into the red substance indicates that it is a unique form of exotic matter that must have formed in its core and experienced a runaway effect of sorts that allowed it to propagate.
• This white dwarf has actually been detected through standard Earth telescopes and satellites, albeit it either had its "face" turned away or was hiding its true nature. This indicates that it was active before the "anomalous planet boom."
• SEUSWD-678 is often nicknamed "Seus" on account of its codename. Seus seems to be incredibly mischievous, having gone around from system to system scaring the denizens of habitat planets by appearing to "jumpscare" astronomers and astronauts. IGSE-333 "Tartarus" often has to rein Sues in with his voice magic.
• The "blood" of Seus is dangerous to humans, and it is highly advised not to set foot on Seus. This on top of the fact that it is a white dwarf, which already makes it inhospitable to any form of habitation. Those looking to make dyson spheres should also avoid Seus.

HGUS-042
Designations: HG - Hermetic God, US - Unique Substance

• HGUS-042 is the planet of a hermetic god calling himself “The Black-Red God," crafted from unique substances based on the colors black and red, and seems to be an artistic expression encouraged by The Goolubber God.
• The origin of this planet seems to stem from a dispute between The Black-Red God and The Clergyman God, as the former had suggested a fun idea to help keep track of things, only for the latter to shoot this down for some reason. Why The Clergyman God was being so rude that day is unclear, and this resulted in The Black-Red God going off to be on his own and creating HGUS-042 out of frustration.
• The substance seems to be derived from The Black-Red God's being as a part of himself and behaves similarly to Goolubber. The substance also seems to create conditions ideal for habitation for the majority of life forms. This planet was classified for the longest time, but upon discovery that the planet was safe, the MIB decreased the authorization level required to access information about it.
• The south pole is off, and The Goolubber God has tried to tell The Black-Red God that it is off, but The Black-Red God continues to accept it as normal, but according to Goolubber he is always self-conscious about the placement of the south pole.

LEMW-9081
Designations: LE - Lost Era, MW - Metal World

• LEMW-9081 is a planet from The Lost Era that appeared in The Void Era across multiple universes and multiverses and began manufacturing machinery. This machinery has bizarre to indeterminate uses in The Void Era, and the planet seems to be producing them regardless if they are needed. The denizens of the planet seem to be confused and not sure what to do in The Void Era
• The planet composition seems to be a strange metal substance many would call "nanomachines," but this substance is from the Lost Era and only manifests as "metal" in The Void Era. What it actually is unclear and research is ongoing. Either way it appears to be safe for human interaction, marking a rare instance of Lost Era substance not causing harm to The Void Era.
• The planet seems to be meta stable, given the impossibly tall spires that rise from the surface and stretch way beyond what is even feasible for a planet to support. These spires eventually fall back into the planet in a steady cycle that can be seen as an analogue to seasons.
• It is advised not to let newcomers or those with personality issues know about this planet, as toxic and heated arguments have ensued over the "nanomachine" abstraction, as many tend to aggressively argue that the misnomer is a sign of lacking intelligence. The anomalous properties of LEMW-9081 seem to exacerbate these personality issues, almost always requiring the person who started the argument to be discharged from the MIB, have their memory suppressed, and be relocated to an industry or profession that has nothing to do with space or astronomy.

    Personality types are a recurring issue for the MIB, forcing them to be very selective in their recruiting. Many of these anomalous planets and bodies are easily detectable under the right circumstances, and have a high probability of causing mass hysteria, so it is imperative that secrecy is maintained at all times. Those who have a heightened sense of self are at the most danger in this field of study, as there are a good amount of anomalous planets that can and will take advantage of that kind of pride. Seus often wants to fight with those that would claim they would conquer the stars in the vein of the favorite TTRPG, and he has destroyed multiple space fleets from other civilizations that have tried to attack him.

    The MIB has observed many incidents with average people trifling with these anomalous planets and suffering the consequences, and would like to remind those interested in anomalous planets that this is a serious and dangerous field of study not to be taken lightly. Those who fervently believe they can "conquer the stars" or similar mentalities will be immediately rejected and have their memories altered to think the MIB never existed in the first place.

Yup, bit of a long one, but I had some frustrations to get off my chest, and the lore was necessary.

When will the next one come out? No idea, we'll have to wait until I get a new round of ideas.
