The Homeworld
Vallasht, the first planet in the Da-Yu Binary Star system serves as the home for the Republic of Bedessia.
It has an area approximately 1.32 times the size of Earth. It has a population of twelve billion.
Da-Yu Prime is an MV6-type red dwarf, and its companion Yu-Lidah a type MV8.
The intense heat and radiation sent out by these stars make Vallasht (the closest planet to the stars, and in an orbit farther from the primary star than Earth's) habitable even in its far orbit. There are nine planets in the system, (one of which is a gas giant with rings) and two asteroid belts, one behind the fifth planet and one after the tenth.
The Planet, Surface, atmosphere, etc.
The planet itself was formed as many planets are: a star create by dense clouds of gas makes debris orbit, the dust and debris eventually accumulate into a planetoid, then a planet.
The planet has nearly no axial tilt, giving it an extremely mild winter and summer, and it has a dense breathable atmosphere of 38.3% argon, 37.9% nitrogen, 23.8% oxygen, trace other gases. It is not known how life evolved here, but it is believed that an alien intelligence may have had something to do with it. The average day lasts about 27.12 Earth hours. The Vallasht standard year lasts 673 Earth days.
Ancient Culture(s)
There were numerous ancient cultures in Vallasht, but three larger ones prevailed. In the ocean of R'ting, Lakros Island was home to a powerful empire which developed for centuries in isolation, creating rich scholar texts and many cultural artistic artifacts. In the main continent, near the east shores was a confederation of five kingdoms, which created the most astounding engineering marvels of the day, such as attempting to build a stone bridge across the inland sea. While this venture failed, they did manage to create a two-kilometer long bridge spanning from a port at the shores of the inland sea.
The last of the races were simply known as the "Children of the wild." These warring tribes were powerful in a military sense, they sacked the Easteners and took their castles and warships, and explored Lakors island, sacking the culture there as well. However, due to a mass plague, the northern Children of the wild became extinct, leaving the conqueerd cultures, then astounded slaves as the masters of Vallasht. These slaves agreed on a worldwide alliance which would create the planetwide United Republic.
These slaves, survivors of the two empires began an industrial revolution in the Stellar Year 0 (400 B.C.)
In Stellar Year 200,Istra, closest planet to Vallasht was conquered. A nuclear-powered ship landed on the barren airless world and raised the Bedessian United Flag.
In the Stellar Year 789, Osse, the closest star system was taken by colonists. The expansionist era began and soon, by SY 800, Ten more systems had been taken.
Today,, The Republic encompasses over two thousand star systems, out of which over half have Earth-like planets. Vallasht itself is extremely urbanized, all coastlines and both poles have been built over, as well as the rest of the planetary surface. Kilometers of forest and grassland are now glittering mile-high skyscrapers, and only a few isolated areas, maybe the size of Portugal are still in their natural state as parks. However, after the Evacuation, the city-planet is mostly empty, as only the more aristocratic parts of the planet are inhabited. The vast ruins which were abandoned are homes to gangs and pirate groups.
