The white patches as they are known, permeate around the world. Complexity wise they are no greater than any bacterial mat- with only a billion years from existence to now, they were infants. The oceanic past is unclear, only their extreme chemosynthetic adaptations. They are halophilliac bacteria-like mats, aggregating the salts of salt flats into large concentrated highly reflective patches. They seem to be photosynthetic a bit, but do not like to get much of the searing sun- indeed their salt aggregated suggests a defense system against the searing sun, absorbing the tiniest possible amount of light to avoid being toasted.
Other bacteria-like organisms include the pale veins, which are more fossils than living things at this point. There is no more complex life which could develop on this world, chances are if it was around some dimmer Star it would have been a world like [[Maraterna]]. No one is sure. It is only abyss.
