“Where frost meets innovation.”
Itora VI is a frigid, arctic planet under the control of the Hardan Republic, known for its advanced technology and manufacturing hubs. Its landscape is dominated by towering ice spikes and perpetual snowfall, creating a stark yet hauntingly beautiful environment that supports diverse life forms despite the harsh climate.
Humans: The colonizers of Itora VI, humans dominate the cities and industrial centers, overseeing the planet’s technological and manufacturing advancements.
Rokim: The original inhabitants of Itora VI, the Rokim are a small humanoid species standing around 4 feet tall, covered in white fur with blue eyes and pointed ears. Renowned for their intelligence, adaptability, and impressive natural healing factor, Rokim excel in technical and mechanical fields, particularly ship repair, engineering, and communications technology.
Rokim society values knowledge, craftsmanship, and community resilience. Small villages such as Ora’Keen maintain traditional Rokim practices while interacting with humans for trade and labor. Despite their subjugation under human colonization, the Rokim maintain tight-knit family units, celebrate seasonal festivals, and pass down generations of technical expertise. Their resourcefulness and ingenuity make them highly respected technicians and engineers throughout the Hardan Republic.
Artos City, the bustling capital of Itora VI, is a marvel of arctic engineering. Towering skyscrapers and darksteel homes with snow-covered roofs dot the landscape. The city is alive with hundreds of Gravcars gliding in organized traffic lanes above, while hypertrains transport citizens quickly across the urban expanse and pedestrians navigate the icy streets below.
Itora VI Capital Building: A massive black steel structure housing the Governor and planetary administrators, serving as the administrative heart of the world.
Terrace Communications Headquarters: Home to the creators of the Holonet, the galaxy’s largest interstellar communications network. The towering skyscraper contains labs, design studios, and corporate offices.
Arsus Space Port: The primary hub for interplanetary and interstellar travel, bustling with freighters, transports, and starships from across the Republic.
Ora’Keen: A small Rokim village featuring compact steel buildings and a central scrap workshop, where Rokim mechanics repair and innovate technology using scavenged materials.
Echo Base: A sprawling military garrison for the Hardan Republic, constructed from black steel and partially buried in snow and ice. It features reinforced perimeter walls, winterized troop barracks, and training grounds for the planet’s defense forces.
Southern Spires: A breathtaking natural wonder, the Southern Spires are mile-high ice spikes forming glistening crystal towers, creating a natural fortress of frozen beauty and a landmark visible from miles away.
Itora VI embodies the duality of the Hardan Republic: a harsh environment tamed by technological mastery, where humans enforce governance and industry, and the Rokim contribute their innate skill and ingenuity to the Republic’s thriving infrastructure.
