Cerithades is a terrestrial planet with a moderate atmosphere. Surface features include volcanoes, valleys, deserts, bodies of water, and polar ice caps. The rotational period and seasonal cycles of Cerithades are similar to those of Earth, as is the tilt that produces the seasons. It has an estimated population of 2.997 billion (planetside) with an additional 5 million spread between its three moons.
There is a vast ocean north of the primary land mass; there is only one continent. The terrain is inhospitable to most alien species. Massive mountain ranges overshadow rugged flatlands, and those unfamiliar with the various landmarks frequently become lost and die in the wilds. Extensive river systems twine throughout and provide water to various Peth. There are deep chasms as well as bare glacial plains. Temperate and boreal forests covered part of the continent. Temperatures on the planet's surface dip down below freezing at night regardless of the season.
