Kenekes

KENEKES Concept • Kenekes. Recently discovered homeplanet of the Bystkyn people. Everything is lower tech from originating from this planet as the Bystkyn just gained the abilitity to traverse the Galaxy. Location • 7.3 LY Galactic West from Daalang. Kenekes is a Earthlike planet, capable of having a number of species survive and thrive on it. It has a ring circling the planet, casting parts of it into shadow constantly. Kenekes has a handful of large contenents on each of its northern and southern hemispheres. The Equator is one large ocean, separating the north and south and allowing species on each hemisphere to develop differently. The northern hemisphere is warmer and gets more sun than the southern hemisphere, leaving the north in almost constant spring and summer and the south in fall and winter. This further pushed development of species differently. Each continent holds a slightly different enviroment, but almost seemed mirrored from each other on the north/south line. There are deserts, forests, planes, mountains and all sorts of environments spread out across them. The leading, and only sentient species on the planet are collectively known as Bystkyn, humanoid aliens that, though they evolved separately over tens of thousands of years, have come together under one name to signify who they are. The planet itself almost seems like it was built as a haven for a number of races, and evolution was forced, before letting it go its own way. There are a number of prime metals on it, as well as large, natural crystal formations dotting the surface. Each continent remained separate from each other as evolution took place, until each species developed enough to have sufficient travel across the oceans. Still, there was no war as each species interacted with each other. As thousands of years passed, all the species grew together, collectively taking the name Bystkyn, as they were brothers and sisters under one sun, and on one planet. Working together rather than separately, the technology level on the planet moved fast, and soon they were able to slowly traverse their home system. Within the last 20 years, they achieved hyperspace travel, and were discovered by Legion, a new faction in nearby space. With their help, they were fully uplifted and slowly integrated into Legion, and the galaxy at large. Capital City of Somnia Somnia is a large city, on the southernmost point of the northern hemisphere. It is where the Bystkyn counsel gathers for business considering the world, and their now involvement in the galaxy at large. It has a large population of over 700 million people, about a fifth of the world's population, and fluctuates slightly as the Bystkyn adventure out into the Galaxy. It has a very modern look, closer to that of Coruscant than one would think, and spread out. Enviroment Kenekes is a thriving planet of large oceans of fresh water broken up by large continents. The largest of the oceans is a planet spanning body called The Great Divide, separating the northern and southern hemispheres. The Continents contain a variety of environments, from forests to deserts to plains, and everything in between, and each of the north/south hemispheres are nearly mirrored of each other. Each Continent, nearly at the center of them, is a crystal cave, leading deep into the planet, and are uncharted as odd formations keep any and all electronics from working inside of them. Sentient Life. Kenekes is populated by a number of humanoid with animal like features collectively known as Bystkyn. The northern hemisphere and its people have the nicknames of Children of the Sun. The southern hemisphere and its people have the nickname Children of the Moon. Evolution on the two hemispheres are different, with the Children of the Sun looking more like human with light animal features, and Children of the Moon looking almost like walking animals of those they evolved from. Legacy Clause • Anything can be done. It would be cool to see it continue.
