: It would need to be PRETTY hot to make the lava just stay there in liquid

: BTW, i wonder, How is it possible to swim through lava? Well maybe the player
: had some special equipment that allowed him to swim through it without

: lava is VERY thick and well, impossible to swim through it even when we
: ignore the heat. And i bet it's impossible to see anything when you are
: down in it.
It's possible that it may be lava that's unique to Lh'owon. Hell, we don't even know that lava on any other planets are like the lava on Earth.
Also, about lava on the Marathon, you say that lava is molten rock. The Marathon is built INSIDE a huge rock. I'm not entirely sure why the lava would be there, but its possible, considering what the Marathon is. This brings me to a question I've been thinking about for some time (the past few minutes, basically): When the Marathon was "hollowed out", was it completely hollowed out, or was it just hollowed out enough to allow structures to exist within (i.e. a room being hollowed out, and metal being put between the rock and the interior). If so, then there's probably lots of rock to turn into lava on the Marathon.
