Class O, Biozone Planet Facts: Biozone 71159, holding only one real name "Des Grotou", roughly 880,000,000 from Vion. Des Grotou has become home to many traveling races, and an ideal stop for those who are looking to buy or sell things that would either be impossible or illegal to trade on most other planets. Des Grotou being the 'hot spot' for trade that it is shares a similar trait with its temperature in that regard, its surface temperatures remaining around a near steady 100 degrees. Having roughly 20 hours of daylight, which usually ranges in the high 100s. And around 16 hours of night, which usually drops below 100 to close to high 80s. That being said one might wonder how trade were possible, or even how life could sustain itself under the harsh conditions Des Grotou usually provides. Although from space the surface of Des Grotou may appear deserted and dead, vast desert and rocky mountains covering the entire planet, however upon a closer examination one would notice the obvious signs of some form of intelligent life forms having taken up residence. As large stationary machines and scrap yards are dotted around various areas of the planet surface, although aside from that there aren't any obvious buildings or housing areas within sight. Its pretty clear from the sight of the planet itself that there are no signs of water on the surface, water does exist, but in such a majority as vapor that it is hardly noticeable. Hence why the more intelligent inhabitants have build complex tunnel systems throughout the planet, keeping well below the surface large machines were build to suck in the moisture from the atmosphere and provide drinking water for those traveling by or currently living within the tunnels (which range from hall sized corridors to massive open caverns and cave systems, and are lit by a series of solar powered lighting systems). The scrap yards rarely hold anything of real use, and are just that, scrap. There may be rare moments when moisture collects in the higher mountain areas and slips down through cracks in the rock, creating pools of water in naturally forming caverns within the mountains, but these places were so rare to find and quickly used up that the inhabitants disregarded them and build their own system of collecting water. Number of Moons: 2 Name of Moons: The moons have no real names, and are simply Moon 1 and Moon 2 World Map: Number of Continents: One, the whole planet is one massive continent. City Names: Greater Grotou Des Vil-ik Des Kimishk Des Ru-ruhil Visconally Planet Capital: There's no real established capital, but Greater Grotou is the most commonly visited and thriving of the underground cities. Planet’s Indigenous Race(s): Aside from the smaller snake, bird, horse, and snail-like creatures who find their homes in various regions of the planet. Des Grotou's most acknowledged Indigenous race, aside from the Des Ballai who have taken this planet as their new home, are a large race of Lizard-like creatures known as the Des Killik. Race Description: Des Ballai- The Des Ballai, although not originally from Des Grotou, seem to have adapted well to the planet. Looking something like an insect in origin, the Des Ballai also hold some humanoid features in their form. Having rather large eyes and small mouths, the Des Ballai don't ingest food the way humans do, using a tongue-like feature that sucks nutrients from the small animal creatures they usually feed on rather then eating them in the traditional sense. The Des Ballai tend to be short in side, around 4 feet high, and although they have thumbs similar to humans, they only have two large fingers. The Des Ballai tend to cover their faces, and wear clothes similar in style to those seen on generic old western cowboys, sometimes cowboy-like hats and coats, along with gloves when they travel to the surface to hunt for food or for Des Killiks. By no means are the Des Ballai stupid creatures, having been smart enough to work out their tunnel systems and machines to gather water, they can be shrude traders. Buying and selling various things they scavenge, and also setting up meetings for third party trades that need to have transactions that could be considered 'crimes' by other planets. Most of the Des Ballai will trade goods freely with traveling races, however there are a few who may only trade with someone should they meet their 'standards', however what they have to trade is more then likely only known to those they see fit to trade with. Des Killik- These lizard animals who range in size from 10 feet long and 3 feet high, to around 50 feet in length and 15 feet in hight have scales similar to fish, and large turtle like shells on their backs. These creatures have been named Des Killik by the Des Ballai, and are hunted by some groups of Des Ballai for the rare gem like jewel that forms on their forehead, and grows in size along with value as the Des Killik mature and get older. The Des Killik are ruthless and fierce creatures, burrowing through the areas of the planet that are in majority sand and living in some of the natural caverns above ground. Race History: The Des Ballai lived on a planet not far from Des Grotou, basically using up all of its natural resources and rendering the planet useless the Des Grotou eventually decided to 'jump ship' so to speak as they saw their dwindling chance to continue to live on a dying planet. The Des Ballai eventually, simply put, revolted against each other and went their separate ways. Many died in the violent and bloody civil war the Des Ballai had against each other, and with tensions high and options low the smarter groups fled the planet. A majority of the fleeing Des Ballai dying regardless of their act of retreat, as they couldn't find a planet to live on in time, a few of the groups who had headed in the same direction eventually came upon Des Grotou. A nameless planet with little life at the time, however still usable, and with supplies running low the Des Ballai settled into the little planet. The harsh weather nothing too far from their original planet's, the Des Ballai found that many of the small animal life forms could be used as a means of food. Eventually building their underground caverns and cave systems the separate Des Ballai groups decided to end their disagreements with each other, banding together the Des Ballai thrived and eventually were able to find other planets to communicate with. Some of the Des Ballai leaving and others remaining they eventually traded enough equipment to create their machines for collecting water, which was yet another useful natural source of trade. The Des Ballai began to hunt the Des Killik once they learned that the Des Killik's jewel was of worth on the market, using their trading skills to lure more traders to Des Grotou the Des Ballai thrived and expanded their tunnels. Becoming a kind of 'Black Market Planet', and attracting Bounty Hunters along with many others because of the wide variety of trade they took part in. Eventually Des Grotou settled down, the different groups once again wanting their own distinction from each other and forming their own cities within the underground. One or another going the extra mile to provide for customers, slave trade, weapon trade, if you can name it they can sell you it, for a price. Government: Des Grotou has no real form of Government, each city basically taking care of itself and trading with whom ever they wish to. Selling whatever they want to for whatever prices they demand. Government Leaders, Positions: No real system of government or positions. Religion(s): Religion doesn't really play a big part on Des Grotou, considering most of the deals that happen there. However one of the Des Ballai have formed a kind of cult. Religion Description: The cult that has come to be known as, Los Desgantes, have banded together under a defining rule, one Leader. Although this doesn't seem to be the most logical rule, or really all that great of one, Los Desgantes have come to worship their leader. How exactly this cult was formed, or even why isn't really known. Although Los Desgantes seem to idealize the Des Killik, finding their jewels to be of high value. In fact Los Desgantes tends to turn away potential traders who do not hold within their grasp one of these jewels. Seeming to have a majority of their cultists within the city of Des Vil-ik, Los Desgantes have been known to buy and sell slaves, of course their also rumored to commit bloody rituals, but hey rumors are just rumors right? Religious Leaders, Positions: Los Desgantes current Leader is a Des Ballai by the name of, Dak-ma. Trades and Industries: Every form of trade possible, and usually center for criminal activity. Technological Class: Advanced – Open to the Galactic community, Plenty of Fold-Capable Ships |
