Hogoku

A vast alien world far removed from Gaea but existing in the same reality, Hogoku is a world defined by its raw natural beauty and cyclopean flora, as well as the sentient and now spacefaring races that originated on it. Hogoku is a world of vast forests filled with titanic trees, towering mountains, sprawling swamps, nation-sized lakes, expansive waterways, and seemingly endless seas. Naturally-occurring demiplanes dot its landscape, allowing for the vast scale of the world despite having an otherwise Earth-like composition, many of which are directly connected to the gods of that world... the very plants themselves.
Hogoku is home to both the Tenkihito and Gunsojin (commonly called Gripplis) civilizations, who have developed a symbiotic relationship early in their histories, with the latter serving as protectors and artisans for the nascent Tenkihito and the Tenki. Both cultures now serve prominent roles in the Star Federation, though the Tenkihito more so than the Gunsojin. Despite the fact that it has served as the cradle of two spacefaring species, Hogoku is a remarkably pristine world; both societies held the natural world as sacred and avoided developing technology or magic that dealt significant harm to its ecologies... or repaired what damage was done.
Hogoku's remote nature makes travel there impossible without the use of advanced spaceflight or magic.
