Planet Creil is often considered to be the core of an ancient gas giant that was deprived of its atmosphere by some cosmic cataclysm, possibly a planetoid impact. Most of the former atmosphere is thought to be condensing around the planet as a cloud known as Senlis. Hidden deep within the cloud, Creil is a planet fully covered with vast and deep oceans that contain varied chemical substances, including organic matter. Complex organic molecules present on Creil are considered to be protobionts that could, according to some researchers, be very similar to ones found on Earth around 3,5 billion years ago. Those protobionts are considered to be progenitors of organic life on Earth, and Creil offers a unique opportunity to study early stages of life formation in natural conditions. The planet is regularly visited by scientific expeditions from New Paris and elsewhere, but attempts to find traces of true organic life were unsuccessful thus far.
