Damnation

Orbiting the star Ceti Tau Zeta 47914 is a tidally locked planet whose official registration is Ceti Tau Zeta 47914g. However, the rest of the civilized galaxy knows it by a different name: Damnation – the prison planet.

Damnation was carefully shaped by the most skilled of terra-forming engineers. Terra-forming ultimately resulted in two separate and distinct hemispheres: the starward Ignisheim [Fire-home], baked in eternal light and fire, and the rimward Frigusheim, cloaked in eternal darkness and cold.

Ignismare
At the very core of Ignisheim lies the massive magma ocean known as Ignismare [Fire-sea]. The ocean occupies more than a quarter of the surface area of the hemisphere. It is bordered by the continents of Supplicium [Punishment], Redemptio [Redemption], and Incarceratione [Incarceration]. These continents are in turn bordered by the oceans Lavamare [Lava-sea] and Infernumare [Hell-sea, with a missing 'm'].

Periodically, the waters of these two oceans overflow the gaps between these three continents causing a massive steam eruption that begets powerful storms that ravage over much of Ignisheim.

Photovoltaic array
At the very periphery of these super-continents lie the photovoltaic array, and near Ignismare are the geothermal power stations, collectively providing two-thirds of the power consumption needed to keep Damnation’s infrastructure in full working order.

There are few facilities located upon Ignisheim for convicts, only those assigned to the repair and maintenance of the photovoltaic array and the geothermal power stations. These jobs are awarded as a “Second Chance” for otherwise unruly inmates who were incarcerated outside Frigusheim.

Frigusheim
The dark hemisphere of Frigusheim is where the bulk of the Damnation’s prison facilities are located. The poor conditions here are the reason the planet was selected to become galactic civilisation’s largest penal colony. The gigantic ice cap of Glaciem [Ice] covers much of the surface area of Nix [Snow] and even encroaches on (if not fully blankets) the continents of Frigidus [Chilly], Constringitur [Frozen] and Duratus [Freeze]. Only the island continent of Glacies ['Ice cap'/'cap glacies' without 'cap'] are free of the ice due to the massive oceans Polaresmare [Polar-Sea] and Gelumare [Frost-Sea] which surround them. Each of these continents house numerous maximum security prisons surrounded by large territories of darkness.
