Balaho

Balaho is the Grunt homeworld and It is the fifth planet orbiting the star, Tala . This frozen planet (temperature ranging from -33 C to 5 C [-27°F to 41°F]) that has two moons, Buwan and Padpad. Being a terrestrial planet with significant amount of methane within the atmosphere explains why Unggoy wear a methane tank while they are at other planets. This gas prevents much of the world from being seen from orbit. The parts of the surface that are not covered by polar ice caps or fresh water are brackish tidal flats where there exists naturally occurring pillars of fire. The world is still recovering from a pre-activation environmental collapse caused by massive global over industrialization. Another native species to Balaho is the Zap-Jellie, the prey of the Grunts. This world was almost glassed due to the rebellion of the Grunts in the Unggoy Rebellion.
