Luna
The battered and scarred Moon.
Unlike the Earth, the moon is unable to renew and recycle its surface. A lack of tectonic plates and the loss of most of its geothermal energy has rendered it geologically dead. As a result, ancient scars of impacts from billions of years ago remain present upon its barren surface.
The darker impact areas are known as Luna Maria and are the result of ancient flows of basalt lavas flooding impact creators.
