“Beneath the rock, the Republic thrives.”
Arsus is a rocky, barren planet with a breathable atmosphere and a warm climate, renowned for its rich deposits of high-value metals, essential for starship construction and advanced industrial production. The planet is dotted with hundreds of corporate-owned mining settlements, making it a vital backbone of the Hardan Republic’s economy and technological dominance.
The surface of Arsus is a jagged landscape of grey rock formations, interspersed with gleaming metallic veins. Towering extraction rigs, industrial machinery, and transport vehicles crisscross the terrain, connecting sprawling mining settlements with processing hubs and cities. The planet’s harsh but stable environment makes it ideal for large-scale resource extraction, though life is grueling for the workers who inhabit its cities and quarries.
Population: Primarily humans and other species employed in mining, engineering, and corporate operations. The workforce is a mix of skilled laborers, corporate employees, and specialized technicians who maintain the machinery and infrastructure required for large-scale extraction.
Rock Bottom is the sprawling capital of Arsus, a city built to accommodate the planet’s mining workforce and corporate management. The cityscape features hundreds of thousands of steel homes, massive industrial complexes, and towering skyscrapers. Busy Gravcar traffic lanes fill the skies, transporting workers between residences, mining sites, and corporate offices. The surrounding landscape is scarred by mining pits, quarries, and extraction rigs, evidence of Arsus’s critical role in the Republic’s industrial might.
Arsus Capital Building: The center of governance for Arsus, housing the planetary governor and administrative officials. Guarded by Hardan Republic soldiers in tan and orange armor, the building ensures order and oversees industrial operations.
Nado Industries HQ: The towering headquarters of the Republic’s largest mining corporation. Known for high pay and extremely dangerous working conditions, Nado Industries dominates Arsus’s economy and controls a large portion of the planet’s resource extraction operations.
Arsus exemplifies the industrial strength of the Hardan Republic, a planet where human ambition meets harsh natural resources. Its wealth of metals fuels the Republic’s fleets, infrastructure, and expansion, while the labor of its citizens sustains its place as a core world in the galaxy.
