Axa IV

Axa IV, called "Drakath" by the Orks, is a planet in the Agoi system of the Core. Known for being inhospitable and difficult to settle, Axa IV is host to many dangerous predators and deadly diseases leading colonists and planetary settlers to avoid it. It was used as a strategic mobilization point for the Orks during the Great War but was taken near the war's end by a joint effort between the URN and the Republic of Elvala.
== Geography ==
Much of the planet is made up of stark deserts and badlands, with chemical lakes dotting the landscape from the war. The Orks did not treat the planet well, leaving behind large scar-like canyons and craters across the landscape. Ruins of fortresses see overgrowth of weeds and nests of wildlife, and battlements littered with destroyed vehicles and scrap is not uncommon.
The southlands are largely made up of swamps and marshlands. In the west are vast deserts with a few cave systems made from infrequent acid rain storms. These caves are usually used as homes by Rekhara, with some used as chemical dumps by the Orks that still retain pools of toxic sludge.
The northern regions tend to have more mountainous terrain considered safest on the planet. One such mountain, Edran's End, is used by the URN and Elvalan Republic as a settlement and outpost. Even still, Crelrists occasionally nest in these areas. The landscape is dry, humid, and smokey with an ashy taste in the air and an ever present hint of brimstone.

=== Sapients ===
There are no sapient life on Axa IV nor is there evidence of any. Many Aeos races and groups have attempted to settle Axa IV with little to no success. 
=== Wildlife ===
Axa IV has many predators that live in a chaotic and aggressive ecosystem. While some are native, others have been brought off-world and have bred into existence on the world. Most of the native wildlife are infamous for their aggressiveness and efforts to study them have been difficult to impossible.
*Praedas - The native apex predator of Axa IV and one of the most aggressive and territorial is the Praedas. Large, bipedal, mammalian reptiles, Praedas have thick hides resembling the exoskeleton of a beetle. They are staggeringly tall and quick to spot, with pups standing around 6' and fully-matured adults standing anywhere between 7-8'. A set of sharp mandibles lines their small, fang-filled mouths that help grip food when eating. Praedas hunt in small groups called "Prowls", with an alpha male leading the group through intimidation.
