I have a cool idea for a planet! This one is really special.
(the name has a real meaning, look for it at www.behindthename.com)
Chernobog.
A planet which looks so bright and shiny from the outside, has eternal darkness on the surface. This planet has three cloud layers, the highest is very thin air. Hard to breathe for humans, but possible. The middle layer is a big, thick cloud, no light can shine trough. And the lowest is a mixture of Oxygen and some other gasses not dangerous to humans. Because of the thin crust of the earth, there are many vulcanoes, geisers and lava pools which have a red glow. Humans wanted that heat source to generate energy, but as they sended down some ships to colonise the dark planet, the thick atmosphere did great deal of damage to their ships, making them safely land, but unable to launch again.
While stuck on the planet, light was their best friend. Normally, the planet is just as dark as you closing your eyes, hold your hands infront of your eyes and sit in a closet with no light. There are also creatures living on that planet, such as the small heat-eaters. They will sit their entire life near a lava pool or geiser and they will absorb the heat which will give them energy to survive. There are also predators, preying on the heat-eaters and many other creatures. All of the creatures have excellent hearing, and huge eyes to try to see something, which only has effect when theres a breach trough the clouds, which lets light down to the surface. These creatures HATE light, they are very strong and the best weapon to use agains them is light. If you carry a big light source while moving around on that planet, you will be most likely safe.
The thick clouds also generate alot of lighting, storms and other things. There is little water, most of it is in the cloud layer, but it often comes down to rain. 20 minutes after the rain is gone, all the water will be gone aswell because of the high temperatures of the planets core.
The planet also has extreme high mountains, which go right trough the cloud layer, making islands above.
The goal of the humans which remain on the planet is to get up there and transmit SOS messages across the galaxy to get rescued. Those humans already build settlements on mountain cliffs. Using strange stones which are a good natural source of light. These Light Stones last almost forever, and are the main source for lighting.
Its big... but usefull for a story which goes about the humans on that planet.

. After they tried to steal it again but this time they stealed something more awesome: the D49 revolver plans (thus creating the A33).
