. Yan'Tarkin Orbital Station

. Yan'Tarkin, once the grand achievement of the now long gone inhabitants of Yantur'Gankar, or as the world was called back then, Hen'gard. The station was meant as a massive trading hub within the far reaches of the galaxy in which it was that, trading out exotic goods such as Phrik which is now missing from Yantur'Gankar and the surrounding asteroids entirely due to the centuries of mining long ago. The station stretched a good kilometer or two in it's glory days, as rings wrapped around the asteroid the station it's self was actually grafted into. Though, now it's size is greatly dwindled due to the asteroids and meteors that killed off the inhabitants of Yantur'Gankar. The asteroids of long ago has broke through the surrounding rings of Yan'Tarkin station, severing parts of the station into space debris. While the rest of the station, that's a story for another time.
. Golun I
20150501011459_21_cheerslogo.jpg

. Golun I is the smallest of the five moons surrounding Yantur'Gankar. The terrain of the moon consists of rock and iron ore with little to no terrain features save for mountains and open rocky plains. Upon the surface are mountains and rivers and falls of hot magma which start from a single volcano upon Golun I.
. Golun II
Ice_Planet_Stock_by_hameed.jpg

. Golun II is a fair sized hunk of ice and rocks. Below the surface of the planet, is a series of caverns and underground oceans with teaming aquatic life, only native to Golun II. Below the layer of caverns and oceans, lies deposits of rich metals such as gold, silver, iron, and jewels. Upon the surface of Golun II, mountains and craters are scattered about along with large wildlife that is non-sentient.

. A dome shaped building made out of durasteel lies abandoned upon the planet, the dome is in ruins with plates lying strewn around it and frost itching across it, giving the appearance of a igloo instead of a mining facility.

Demonym:
. Yan'tari
Major Imports:
. The whole of the galaxy avoids this world due to the incident that happened to it long ago, along with the tales of unspeakable horrors. Almost no single individual is still alive who remembers this event so none can say what had exactly happened as an result. Though, their are those who do travel to this planet occasionally. These are mostly black market dealers hoping to snag a bargain for the HK droids in lock-up upon Yantur'Gankar in exchange for various commodities. So of which are below.
. Exotic Animal Pelts
. Illegal Weaponry
. Slaves
. Sithspawn
Now, this is just a short list of the various amount's of unusual and exotic materials that Yantur'Gankar imports each day, week, month, and year.
Major Exports:
. The inhabitants of Yantur'Gankar export an exotic array of materials due to the unique nature of the world. They normally sell exotics in person rather than on the holonet as the holonet can be tracked while being in person, will it was safe for both the buyer and the seller. A list follows below for a short amount of what Yantur'Gankar exports to others.
. HK-Series Droids
. Biological Yuuzhan-Vong Ships
. Biological Yuuzhan-Vong Weapons
. Exotic Mercenaries
. Un-Natural Genetic Hybrids
. Genetic Abominations
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Affiliation:
. Primeval
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Major Locations:
. Zen'Kunas Magma Dam
dam_690.jpg

. The magma dam, a ultimate source of power through the use of a massive magma river running across Yantur'Gankar. The dam is made out of reinforced durasteel with Quadanium Steel plating that lies three plates thick. A shield generator is located within the dam it's self, projecting a shield around the dam which protects the exterior of the dam from the scorching heat of the magma. Two electrical generators are located atop the dam which go into the magma through the use of steel spires that reach down to the bottom of the magma river. The dam is roughly 2.5 Kilometers long, covering the whole length of the magma river in it's narrowest area.
. The Crater
web_ca_crater.jpg

The crater. A hole having an diameter alone of 1256 Km. The crater goes a good 500 Km down, exposing rare minerals and caverns hidden below the surface of the planet. Pits of molten lava and rivers of molten lava line and go around the crater, some of which have now become rock due to the long exposure to the elements. Large spires, arches and columns of rock are unnaturally driven up around the pit as if they were gnashing teeth bent on one purpose, eating a moon. Within the pit, lie large deposits of uranium and other highly radioactive substances. The crater takes up a surprising 5% of the surface of the planet though, this area is mostly shrouded in fog and highly poisonous and corrosive acid rain.
. Tower of Yun-Yuuzhan
Image I
Image II
Image III
. The tower stands at a total of 914.4 Meters tall with a cylinder-like base with proceeding spikes toppling out through the sides. The tower goes far up into the ash-stricken clouds with two spikes going diagonally opposite of each other in a curved manner, as if they were teeth gnawing at the sky, trying to set something free. The color of the tower is that of a twisted black with a hint of steel glint upon certain days. The tower it's self is actually made into the side of a mountain, with a massive barracks and armory being inside of the mountain. Upon the very top of the tower, lies an eyes made of flame. It is strongly believed to be the eye of Yun-Yuuzhan, while what it actually is, is unknown to all save for the dead engineers who created the towers along with the dead shapers who added to the tower.

. A moat running 5 meters across goes around the tower. The way the moat is filled it through two steel ditches within the ground coming from the nearby mountain, known as, The Throat of Yun-Yuuzhan. A set of two large steel and stone bridges lead from a paved road to a large steel gate leading into the tower.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Culture:
. Society
326376.jpg

. Inhabitants are born into and apart of Domains and Families upon the world. Within domains, are caste systems, like, the Worker class, the common-wealth class, the wealth class, and the royal class. Each one comes with a sign of respect and loyalty, usually each class will treat each other with respect. The domains aren't just where citizens live in, it's also where they fight for their domain. A domain is like a state, with the royal city being the Shepard, and each state being kind of like a sheep. Each domain fighting each other to gain the royal city's and god's favor.
. Government
7x1px6h_padpa_37915231_GoT.jpg

. A 'central' or 'unified' government doesn't technically exist upon Yantur'Gankar. Instead, multiple domains and tribes of the Yuuzhan Vong and the Gar'mach Vong. No tribe or domain has ultimate power upon the planet, but some do control a larger area then others or have a more powerful military force then others. But, natural borders along with other factors play into factor so that no one domain or tribe gains complete control over the whole planet.

. Will, technically their is a 'unified' government such as the ten royal families who live within the royal city of, Zen'Kunas, named after the head of house Xalorian, the first royal family of the Gar'Mach Vong. The royal council holds meetings to discuss international affairs and intergalactic affairs for the sake of their home. They are often televised upon the holonet of Yantur'Gankar as the figure-heads of the government but they are in fact not the figure-heads. The true head of the world is the Avatar, the Master Head Priest, the prophet who communicates with Yun-Yuuzhan Himself.
. Arts
868x1280_19341_Blade_Song_3d_fantasy_demon_statue_blade_god_picture_image_digital_art.jpg

. Upon Yantur'Gankar, their is not a fair amount of art. The only notable art that exists on this planet, is that of magnificent statues carved from volcanic rock, a testament to the gods. They are where the shrines are located and hold a great religious importance to all upon the world, if even one statue is destroyed, war will wage with the one who broke the statue. The statues also come with sacrificial pits in front of them where prisoners are sacrificed for Yun-Yuuzhan and the other gods. The statues can be anything from a hammer to a tentacled monstrosity to a man in flame upon a throne, they are truly, a sight to behold.
. Military
26534-demon-army-1366x768-fantasy-wallpaper.jpg

. Military Hierarchy
. The military upon Yantur'Gankar is of a standard origination. One is administered a captain or officer through doing an act of heroism for it's domain or family. Though, it is rare for one to become a captain or officer within urban society as little to no crime happens due to droid law enforcement and due to the low poverty rates upon Yantur'Gankar, though it is mostly due to the latter. Although, that isn't to say that nothing bad happens upon Yantur'Gankar. No, far from it. As neighboring families and domains will fight with each other as to control land along with the constant raids of rebel forces.

. Now, then their comes the actual way the hierarchy is designed. It goes as followed below, from highest ranking at top to lowest at bottom.

. Military Branches
. The military is organized into three standard parts, The Command Division, The Soldier Division, and The Special Forces Division. Each part, or branch, is special in it's own unique way. Take for instance the Command Division, they hold sway and command over countless soldiers at a time and come directly from the soldier division. Once they 'graduate' to the command division, they are given special strategy training and combat scenarios in which they have to command a squadron of artificial soldiers to complete the objective.

. The soldier division is as the name suggest, just soldiers.

. Then comes the Special Forces Division or the, S.F.D. They primarily began training from an early age and are normally clones, unlike soldiers and commanders which come from the general population. They are bred and trained in a cloning facility underground for their whole entire lives. They participate in
. Religion
corruption_god_by_m0ai-d69w39e.jpg

Grand Lord and Savior, Cythanus. The one who clenched Yantur'Gankar of it's filth of human flesh and bone, the one who also brought about a new age, one of death. The fabled, 'Seven Seal' of those who followed the, Order of Cythanus. The seals were the foretold prophecies of a new world, one in which the Vong could become anew, a more twisted visage of what they once were.


. The religion of Yantur'Gankar is almost like the religion of, The True Way. The religion was centered about the worship of life. The true way was to believe in life so strongly that artificial technology is disgraced, though it's not the same everywhere. On this planet in particular, they had to adapt and change to survive. They used both biologically and mechanical technology together as to act as a force of terror to conquer the planet. Pain and sacrifice were also important, as death was as if they were re-joining their god as Yun-Yuuzhan has sacrificed his limbs to create the other gods. Though, most of the similarities end here.

. A new Religion was created in the wake of this world, and it's name was, The Order of Cythanus. Cythanus was in fact, the very create that was in the planet-sized asteroid that crashed into the planet which began the gears of change upon the world, the new home of the Vong, one of twisted nature. The other asteroids crashed soon afterwards and began the genocide.

. The 'god', Cythanus, still lives to this very day and it held in higher regard then Yun-Yuuzhan due to a single Belief. The belief that Cythanus scarified it's legs to create Yun-Yuuzhan as Cythanus has no legs whatsoever. It is also strongly believed that is had sacrificed it's very four arms to create a foul breed of the Vong, the Gar'Mach Vong. Named specifically after the 'home' or asteroid in which Cythanus lived in since, thought to be, the beginning of time it's self. Though, this is all religious belief.

. Gar'Mach, the home of Cythanus and his smaller brethren. His children, his sons and daughters that he has suffered so long to create. It was thought, and greatly believed, that Gar'Mach was in fact, a Yuuzhan-Vong Ship of sorts that hasn't been seen since the Yuuzhan-Vong War, and who's history is greatly unknown. How the ship was in the very past is most unknown. Though, it is greatly speculated that Yun-Yuuzhan didn't like Cythanus who was in fact, his very brother. So, Yun-Yuuzhan used a wormhole and sent the ship back in time, which re-wrote history it's self. Despite Gar'Mach being destroyed in the crash, some of it was salvaged and later reconstructed as a religious artificial. It is held within the Vale of Cythanus, Cythanus's home and the home to many other testaments to him.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Technology:
. The technology level of Yantur'Gankar is similar to Galactic Standard along with what the Standard for Vong Technology would be within these days. Technology is in fact, a hybrid of the Galactic Standard Technology and Standard Vong technology. Ships are made out of both organic matter and artificial matter and metal, making them a nightmare to see upon the battlefield despite them only being seen within the Yuuzhan-Vong war.
Yuuzhan-Vong.jpg

History:
. 100,000 BBY:
. The Kwa Empire discovers the lush and tropical world of Ondranus. They utilize this world as a financial headquarters due to the exotic creatures who live here along with the rare metals that are practically upon the surface of the planet. An Infinity Gate is encased around the planet as to allow easy travel to and from the planet. They also use the planet as a holding ground for some of their most ambitious weapons to be used if the Rakata ever strive to attack those who gave them the ability to prosper.

. Mass mining operations begin upon the planet as to extract the resources while also protecting the planet it's self from devastation.
. 90,000 BBY:
. The Kwa Empire constructs Yan'Tarkin station. A large trading hub as to trade exotic materials. Upon the lower levels of the station, are large amounts of Mass-Amounts of Maximum Security cells housing Rakata that got a bit too close to Ondranus.
. 30,000 BBY:
. The planet is abandoned after the Kwa are being pressured by the Infinite Empire. They leave defense satellite's along with security drones upon both the planet and in space as to stop the advance of the Infinite Empire.
. 28,000 BBY:
. Ondranus comes under control by the Rakata, who destroy the infinity gate and the drones surrounding it. They see no use in destroying Ondranus as the planet could be used as a financial device for tourists to come and pay vast amounts of credits as to actually go upon the planet on jeep rides and take pictures.
. 23,621 BBY:
. A colonist ship is sent to Ondranus and finds the Rakata in shambles due to pirates who came years earlier. Now, the ships are but skeletons of what they once were but the defenses the Rakata implemented into the station were still operational when the pirates attacks so they protected the station. But now, due to lack of energy, the turrets are offline.

. Ondranus is seeded with humans and soon becomes a thriving human colony in the corner of the galaxy. It also becomes a key trading hub within the unknown regions, granting the Republic with millions, upon millions of credits every year.
. 8500 BBY:
. A blue, almost night-sky in color, hole opens up near the farthest moon of Ondranus. Out comes a large, Moon-sized asteroid which crashes through Yan'Tarkin Station, breaking off chunks of the station. The asteroid is made out of what appears to be rock but upon closer speculation, it is actually organic matter. Soon after it, many asteroids come out through the wormhole and go towards the planet's surface.

. Ondranus's missile silo's engage and begin to slowly fire upon the asteroids and the moon-sized asteroid. The small asteroids are blow up into chunks of organic matter and strange creatures on the inside drift through space. While the missiles do almost nothing to the largest asteroid as the smaller one's are forming a type of 'shield' around the large asteroid as to defend it from damage.

swzoneinvasion1.jpg


. Then, it happened. The smaller asteroids drew away from the large asteroid and focused back upon the planet.
The larges asteroid then clashed into the planet and let off a massive explosion of dust, metal, organic matter, and much, much more.

. Soon afterwards, the other asteroids crash. This leaves 45% of the land mass upon the world volcanic and forever changed.

. Thus, the genocide commences. A giant blob of green scales and yellow eyes crawls from the wreckage of the largest asteroid and it commands it's children to kill the people upon the planet. While, it begins to eat up people by the dozens with it's tentacles like a wild storm.

. It only took three weeks, three weeks for a whole planet's human population to be extinguished and to be replaced by the Gar'Mach Vong and that blob of organic matter, known solely to the Vong as, Cythanus.
. 4000 BBY:
. The planet, once known as Ondranus, is renamed Yantur'Gankar. Within the following years of the cataclysm, more asteroids crash but they are scarce. Buildings of organic matter and steel are now erected upon the surface of the world and caverns are explored and filled with artifacts of the humans, now war treasures.
. 29 ABY:
. The Yuuzhan-Vong war ends. The Vong retreat to the outer edges of the galaxy, while a few find Yantur'Gankar it's self. They are disgusted by the use of robots and organic matter together as one but also fascinated. As Yun-Yuuzhan had abandoned them as it had once abandoned the Gar'Mach Vong also.
. 125 ABY
876926-vong.jpg

. The Gar'Mach Vong now begin to show signs of mating with the Yuuzhan-Vong. The subspecies is thought to be from the very blood of Yun-Yuuzhan himself, as they become as if 'master architects' among Yantur'Gankar. The subspecies is named Yun'Cythan, the children of Yun-Yuuzhan and Cythanus who were brothers. They become greatly respected among both the Vong and Gar'Mach Vong but they are hidden from the general public, as recent rebels have begun to attack politicians due to the recent hate of the Techno-Bio project, merging both the robotics of the Gar'Mach Vong and the Genetics and Bio-Technology of the Yuuzhan'Vong.

. The project would later be named, Project Yun'Cythanus. It was meant to be successful in creating the prefect soldiers, thinkers, politicians, everything. Though, all it did was create the most valued warriors and thinkers that Cythanus had ever seen.
wolf_predator_again_by_legowosnake-d3gg6p6.jpg

. 428 ABY
. The Gulag plague strikes Yantur'Gankar. It kills off a sizable amount of Vong and others that are in the badlands.While as for the rest of the population, only a few of them die due to the Vong's resistance to disease along with the reason of new biotic implants which also helped increase the resistance to disease but only by a small margin.

Notable PCs: Auzga Xalor
Intent:
. As to try and expand upon the lore and history of the Yuuzhan'Vong within the galaxy with some custom traits such as using both biological and mechanically weapons and ships to their advantage
. As to try and help expand upon the lore of the Primeval with the permission of [member="Zambrano the Hutt"]
 
[member="Auzga Xalor"]

So got a couple of things that need addressed:
  • Okay so going to address the big elephant in the room first. Before the Yuuzhan Vong left their galaxy, they participated in a war with two different droid species, which solidified their hatred of all mechanical things. They then went on a galaxy-spanning crusade to wipe out every last piece of technology in their galaxy. So, no self-respecting Yuuzhan Vong would ever agree to using technology, even in a life-threatening situation. The only Vong that did so was raised by humans after they invaded this galaxy and he joined Wraith Squadron, but that is a very special case. I'm going to need a very very good justification for why the Vong would ever agree to use mechanical things when they arrived on this planet or that will have to go and be replaced by all oragnic things.
  • I need to know what is so different between a normal Yuuzhan Vong and the Garmach Vong as the sub is very light on those details and as they haven't been subbed as their own separate sub-species
  • I need more details on this god you're creating for the Yuuzhan Vong as well because as of right now, I'm finding it hard to believe that they would abandon the True Way at this time, when they arrived on the planet, almost every Vong would have been a fanatic towards the True Way and deviation would have been considered heresy and most likely stamped out
  • Why did the Vong, if they arrived some 8000 years before they did in canon, not begin the objective to conquer the galaxy yet? And how exactly did this wormhole transport them to this planet?
  • Why does the planet import weaponry and Sithspawn?
  • How do they export HK-series droids when those droids were designed by Czerka and Adascorp and neither company had a presence on this planet from everything you have currently
  • How would Yuuzhan Vong ships and such take on a hybrid of machine and organics when they are living organisms that must be grown and they wouldn't exactly incorporate technology into their structure
  • In the history section, you state that the Rakata used this planet as a tourist destination, but why would the Rakata ever consider that an option when their sole motivation of creating their Infinite Empire was the conquest and subjugation of everyone they came across. Also of note, Rakata ships could only reach planets that had a high Force signature as their hyperdrives were designed to work with the Force
  • Can you be more specific about what sort of government type they have? You say it's not centralized with the domains and families being the key, but then give an example of a unified government of some sort with the royal families

Do you smell it? The scent of Fear?
[member="Taeli Raaf"]
Sorry for the delay

1. How about I remove the Yuuzhan'Vong from the Planet all together?

2. The Gar'mach Vong were biologically created from the vong at the will of Yun-Yuuzhan, the main difference is the physical appearance and their lack for actual knowledge as to why the Vong use Bio-Ships and other Bio-Stuff. They also have quite a few different traits, the most notable being them being force sensitive, but like the Vong, only Rarely.

3. See First One

4. Will, it was just the Gar'mach Vong, straight out of their birthing pods in fact, one they didn't actually know what the 'objective' was and two, they didn't see that the galaxy needed to be conquered as they didn't believe in all of the mumble jumbo of the Vong save for a few parts of the Religion.

5. Weaponry, as the Gar'mach Vong have a lack of natural resources as due to the Rakata raiding the planet of resources. Sithspawn, for slaves and soldiers as to guard against rebellion but mostly to feed Cythanus as his will determined that if he ate the Sithspawn, he could teach the Gar'mach Vong of great knowledge, so in short, the Sithspawn for religious beliefs while the Weaponry due to a lack of a large quantity of natural resources.

6. I didn't do my research so you caught me.

7. The exterior is organic matter while the interior is of a technological aspect, if this doesn't work as it is fairly simple, I'll remove it.

8. I didn't necessarily consider this.

9. Yeah sorry, forgot to edit it.

I'll tag you again once I've made the appropriate edits.
