Agatay

Agatay are the people of a colonized planet named the same. 
== Homeworld ==
Agatay is a planet close to the edge of the quarantine zone. An accident of colonization is that there were too many color-blind humans on the original landing party. A high percentage of Agatay males, especially among elite families are born with protanopia - making it difficult to distinguish color nuances.
The capital city is a mountainous organic mess of beautiful stone edifices, overgrown with vegetation - great swaths of it destroyed rubble. There is a prevailing aesthetic toward flora, verdant and lush, crawling around and over meticulously fitted and carved stone blocks - brutalist contrasted to organic. Dome 6, Chapter 6 The colors are not very vibrant, due to Agatay's sun being a blue giant and the unusual atmosphere filtering the light.
== Society ==
Men born with protanopia are sterilized medically, but told they were born that way. Those who can't reproduce are made proxies, akin to being a bodyguard. 
Because the people of the planet are constantly waging war, they have very advanced medicine. 
Agatay is nonrestrictive on bonding dynamics. For genetic reasons, non-monogamy is encouraged. Dome 6, Chapter 7 
Elite families send their children to be educated together in the same place. Its a boarding school that was designed to encourage planetary unity. Also, it's the safest place on Agatay. No one wants to bomb a school if everyone's kids are there. In reality, the factions just persist within the school. Dome 6, Chapter 7 
== History ==
Agatay has a very violent history. Power is constantly shifting. 
In Dome 6, the current power holders of Agatay invite the divinity to build its first dome. Asterism (with Kagee, the first Agatay god) will be the first performers in that dome, with Tillam following. 
There is a history of mass killings, particularly in assembly areas. Bombings with high casualty numbers are frequent occurrences. Agatay don't make any distinction between military and civilian the way other cultures do. Everyone serves and everyone fights, and so everyone is considered a fighting force and a threat. These are the concerns Kagee brings up when the divinity first mention their intent to build the dome. Since a dome has never been attacked before, they think it's impossible. The dome is bombed by a drone before it has even finished construction.
