Vaihiri

== Political Importance ==
The planet of Vaihiri is one of the most profitable planets within the Bright Star Nebula. Vaihiri is controlled by the Industrial Prosperity Union (IPU). They exploit this planet for all the natural resources it holds. Specifically:
Smoked Orichalcum: A rare metal used in advanced hyperdrives. Before the heavy exploitation of this planet, traditional hyperdrive systems were commonplace (specifically hyperdrives made with Storm Iron) and used in hyperspace wars. The IPU used this technology to heavily subjugate the Galaxy to the point controlling half of the planets in the Galaxy.
Fate Metal: A precious metal used to produce self-repairing ship hulls. As long a ship made with Fate Metal is not presented with a foe of overwhelming force, they can most likely be guaranteed success with a competent captain on board.
== Culture ==
* The people that live on the inner dark ring of Vaihiri are very proud of the IPU and genuinely believe in their supremacy. People who live in the inner ring generally live fruitful lives in service of the IPU and their agenda. Foreigners who are not IPU warriors, mechanics, scientists, or engineers are heavily looked down upon as freeloaders in "This Glorious State we like in."
* The people who live on the rest of Vaihiri are subjected to a harsh life that primarily consists of mining and processing raw ore for the use of IPU Battleships. Many military bases litter the "Main Land" or Vaihiri to ensure the mining operations continue to go smoothly. In the event the Vaihiri people see you as a freeloader on this side of Vaihiri, you will be used as fuel to power the mining cities and their machines. 
*Average population density: 20,000 people per square mile in the inner ring/ 8,000 people per square mile on the outer ring.
== Geography and Climate ==
This is a terrestrial planet that has multiple distinct seasons with notable temperature changes. This is a relatively pleasant planet; Vaihiri is particularly suited to host life due to calm climates. The only noteworthy aspect of Vaihiri is the plentiful amount of islands on the planet, which are all connected by IPU supply lines that lead to the "Inner Ring."
At an early age, the planet was heavily terraformed to suit the needs of the IPU. As such, most mountains have already been mined and exploited to near nothingness.
Vaihiri has two outer moons and one inner artificial moon.
== Unique Features ==
The center of Vaihiri's ring has an artificial moon used as a mass-producing station for Diamond-Class Battleships and below; the artificial moon is called Night-Jewel Station. This artificial and hollow moon is one of the most heavily militarized zones in the entire galaxy. In the entire history of Night-Jewel Station, not one successful siege has occurred.
