Vartia

[apothecary]

VARTIA Concept • The homeworld of the Vartian Species and the capital planet of the Vartian Republic. This world is home to the Vartian Parliament as well as most of their cloning banks. The planet is extremely hostile having been decimated by warfare, as such the surface is largely uninhabitable, with the Vartians existing in vast bunker cities. Though ruins of pre-Vartian cities exist on the planet, they are abandoned, left to what little of the native flora and fauna capable of surviving eek out a meagre existence in. Location • Sector F18, Outer Rim. KEY FEATURES 1. FEATURE 1 BUNKER COMPLEX 001 - The Capital of the Vartian Republic, this is their largest city and one of their most powerful military strongholds and fortresses. Most of the city is located deep underground, where it is protected from the contaminated wasteland that is their world's surface.    2. FEATURE 2 Extreme Contamination - Due to the eon long wars that waged in a time before the creation of the Vartians, much of their surface is a polluted nightmare, ash choked plains, acid rain, radioactive... Ironically, since the Vartians seized control of their lethal home the planet's ecosystem has started to show signs of recover, with stunted twisted trees, mutated flowers and tattered creatures being seen across the desolation of their world.    3. FEATURE 3 Fortress World - All Vartian cities are designed as a vast bunker complex, extending for many miles beneath the planetary surface. On the surface they will largely be seen as fortified zones, with tall sloped walls, defensive gun turrets, razor wire, trenches and mine fields.  4. FEATURE 4 DEAD SEAS - Due to the toxic nature of life on the surface, all surface water is polluted. The Vartians do not maintain a wet navy, instead they have the coast lines fortified in depth. No Vartian goes near the toxic soup that makes up the sea of their world. It is known simply as the Dead Seas. There may be life hidden in it's murky depths but no Vartian would know. 5. FEATURE 5 The Destroyer Monument - The towering statue of acid resistant stone stands almost 80 feet tall. It is carved in the shape of the image of the Jedi Knight responsible for defeating the Vartians, a blue twi-lek. Though they despise and fear this being, they recognised his military triumph over him and have constructed a monument to him. This in part is to appease the being that many regard as a nightmare beast (similar to the devil or evil spirit). 6. FEATURE 6 The Bunker of Parliament - Within the confines of Bunker Complex 001, there lies The Bunker of Parliament, the home of the Vartian Government. Here the Vartian leadership makes the decisions that effect the entire Vartian species as well as decide the goals and focus of the Vartian Republic. 7. FEATURE 7 Orbital Network - Vartia possesses a considerable orbital network, it's space being home to numerous space fortresses, defence batteries, minefields and orbital ship yards. This is due to it's nature as the Vartian homeworld so it must be defended at all cost. Legacy Clause • If people wish to have it feature, keep it, if not place in inactive.
