Ship Origin: South America
Colony World: Carad-Galadh
Climate & Terrain: -
67% of the surface is covered with water. 3% is fresh water; Making 33% of the planet covered in land, which is split into three major continents, with many islands and minicontinents. It's heavily tropical in the equatorial region, having many Tropical Jungles. The poles consist of Tundra, all the way to Steppe climates, depending on location. The Northern and Southern regions, or Polar regions consist of many mountains; Mountains can also be found in the Tropical and Temperate regions, but they're less promonent, and don't come in ranges.
The areas inbetween the Poles and Tropics are known as the Temperate and Desert regions. The area between the Northern Pole, and the Tropical region is known as the Temperate region, consisting of some Steppes, many Hills, Marshes, Everglades, Prairies, Temperate Grasslands/Valleys, and Temperate Forests. With colder Temperate/Tundraic climates in the northern half of the Temperate region, and warmer Semi-Tropical/Temperate climates in the southern region of the Temperate region.
The region between the Tropic region, and the Southern Polar region is known as the Desert region. This region has Dunes, Dry Forests, some Temperate Forests, and Boglands, Savanahs, Deep Canyons, and many Cliffs and Plateaus. It's climate goes fromDry Temperate/Semi-Tropical in the north, to Dry Temperate/Desert climates in the south.
History & Colonization: -
The colony ship landed on the planet, but rather unsuccessfully, cracking the ship in two when it hit the surface, taking many lives. The survivors soon found themselves stepping out into a forest filled with strange red barked trees, thus they named the planet, Carad-Galadh, meaning Red Tree. After long struggle they used the materials from the ship itself to create their founding city within that forest. They named the city Alphbeol, meaning swanbell, named after the leader of the people's daughter.
Though they grew, and expanded slowly at first, due to their loss of people, they soon founded many cities, and resource colonies. They soon grew to a numerous, and strong people, with a flurishing civilization, and mighty military strength. Though that is not to say they didn't have any civilconflicts, or hardships.
They soon stumbled upon many resouces; Like Fiolium, an odd substance that is easily duplicated, but has tremendous energy output, making it the perfect power or fuel source. Another is an Ivory coloured metal, that's permeable in it's raw form, making it easy to work with, but harder than most metals that had been on earth, when it's tempered; A name has not been decided for it though.
They soon started expanding outwards into space, and have extended their military prowess into the celestials, and created many defensive bases, along with scientific research stations, and resource colonies, and livable hydroponics space colonies. They had many seperate 'nations' as it were, that decided after the discovery of the other colony ship's planets, that they shouldn't stand alone, and united into one 'nation', or planet wide empire called, Pharaz-Gil, meaning Golden Star.
Genetics: -
The Pharaz Empire has done both genetic engineering, and natural evolution, along with some mutation as well. The government of the planet experiments with evolved specimens, and forwards the evolution through non-evolved specimens, also enhancing already evolved specimens as well. Many naturally evolved people have varying capabilities, some with physical capabilities: Speed, Strength; Some have mental, or kinetic capabilities: Such as Pyrokinesis, or other related capabilities such as Telepathy, but that's more rare.
Wildlife: -
The vegetation on Carad-Galadh consists of similar plants to that of earth's, though most trees are about two times larger than earth's, and consist of more unseen bark and leaf colors, such as red, black, or yellow. Many plants in the Jungle are exotic and enormous, some flowers grow to the size of trees, there are quite a few carnivorous plants, even outside of the Tropical region.
The only promonent 'new' species, are a race of thin, Semi-Sentient, machine looking creatures called the Myradin, or Myr for short. They look and even act similar to machines, but are found to be animals indeed, their skin consisting of a, 'living metal'. They are quite intelligent, and different types, or species are found in or on different terrains. They have a strange uncanny capability of terraforming any type of land, to that of their suiting. Many of the people on Carad have befriended the Myr, using them to change the land for farming, and getting at valuable resources. The only other new found animals are enormous beasts, mostly bipedal, like the Myr, and have tough skin that has the characteristics of the minerals in the environment around them, thus creating different species. They are dubbed Golems, like in old myths and legends of stories, and are rightfully named so. The planet though, is filled with other life as well, mostly creatures very similar to those of earth, only different depending on their environments, and don't need to be explained, for the moment at least.
Galactic Expansion: -
CelebIthil: Is the primary moon of Carad, the name means, Silver Moon, for the fact that it's made of solid Ivory Metal, while some of it's mantle is Fiolium. There's a large resource station on it, along with a sizeable military base.
Lŷg-Thond: Meaning snake root, which is the primary research station, located in a distant, yet nearby nebula; There are around five other reseach facilities, but due to them all connecting in purpose with this one, they will not be named.
Annûn Amon: A large colony the, name meaning, Sunset Hill; On an unnamed nearby planet, which has a decently substantial population. Also it contains a large resouce base nearby, mainly used for agriculture.
Amrûn Amon: The name meaning, Sunrise Hill; Is another colony located on an asteroid that orbits Carad. It is also a military base as well, containing a varitably sized shipyard.
Mormirath: Meaning Black Jewel, is an enormous shipyard spacestation that orbits Carad, the primary supplier of Carad's space military.
Pharaz-Carad Ephel: Alarge defense array of MAC guns, or Rail Stations, known as Golden-Red Outer Fence, or Pharaz-Carad Ephel. There's around 22 (more or less) of the massive stations, used to defend Carad from attack. They are in stationary orbit around the planet, and are on constant vigil.
Politics: -
Since their unity, the Pharaz-Gil Empire has made a Republic of sorts. They abide in a dome of Ivory Metal, known as Remhras, or Meshhorn, on CelebIthil. Ten 'Heads' are chosen by the people to represent their needs, whether the person chooses to help those needs or not, is up to him/her. There are six 'Continental Heads', one per nation, two per continent. There's a Head of Resources, Head of Research, and Head of Off World Colonies, along with a Military Representative. The six Continent Heads are elected every six years, the Off World Colonies Head, and Resource Head are elected every eight years, and the Research Head, and Military Representative Head stay on until retirement, or death. There is no president or Official, due to the fact of someone trying to rise to dictatorial power, and the Empire is run well and smoothly by unified choose, and representation.
Military & Crime Prevention: -
There are six branches of military; Ephel Defense Core: A group of military set apart, meant for defense of the planet through the Rail Stations; Highly Elite and Trained.
Dûn Core: Is an Elite space/ground military group, meant for military insertion, and interplanetary peace keeping. They are evolved, mutated, or genetically enhanced men and women, highly capable, powerful, and though few in number, deadly.
Army: A common military group, ground based, and used for planet to space defense, or stop insertion.
Navy: Very little of the Navy is in space, and most of it is the planet's water forces. The space Navy consists of long vessels, capable of landing on planets' water surfaces, to deploy it's forces.
Air Force: The group meant for air-to-air, air-to-space, space-to-space combat through large fighter craft, are genetically engineered individuals, capable of handling high G-Force, and deadly, unthought menouvers, in air and space.
Hyarmen Offense Core: Are the men and women of the space fleets of th Pharaz-Gil Empire. They are also meant for Galactic exploration, along with a few E.D.C. members to go along as well. They are also excellent in interplanetary peace keeping.
The Pharaz-Gil Empire has a Police Force, Special Forces, Insertion Force, and Geno-Force, these are civilian corps or cores, meant for law upholdment. The Insertion Force is for stopping civil uprisings, and the Geno-Forces are evolved, or enhanced civilians who joined the police or Special or Insertion Forces, and were transferred to this group; They are similar to the police in many ways, only different by their capablilities.
Suspected criminals are trialed before a civilian jury; High offenses are taken before the Remhras Council itself.
