Kaeda

## General Overview

Planet Kaeda was a planet that thrived on industrialism. It was one of the biggest planets that contributed to the spark of the *Platinum Age*, manufacturing a lot of the technology that would be used on other planets.

Unfortunately the planet was infested with creatures known as Granda Vermas, and after a decade, the infestation was too much to handle, and thus it's workers migrated to *Phera*. The planet is now unsupervised, only home to bandits, vandals, and other criminals that like to hang around and do whatever they want.

## History

### Pre-Evacuation

During the Platinum Age, Kaeda was a base of operations for manufacturing the advanced technology at the time. Some of the most notable inventions include hover bikes, exxxcavators, and colonial ships. While not as big and impactful as some of the other planets, it had its place in history.

Inhabitants of the planet mainly consisted of workers who had jobs in the factories. The planet itself was never "designed" for anybody to live there for their entire life, instead it was always used primarily for work. Despite this, many workers called Kaeda their home, and soon enough hotels and houses started to be built. This would not last.

The planet suffered from an infestation of Granda Vermas. They frequently tunneled through large portions of the land, causing severe accidents and making it difficult to work there. It is said that there were 60,000 recorded deaths at the time before the inhabitants left.

### Post Evacuation

The workers had enough, and so at some point, Planet Phera was chosen as a new spot for the base of operations. As the workers packed their things, parties and a festival was thrown for those who had grown attached to their home. Unfortunately for them, they had to face the truth: Kaeda was no longer safe.

The planet now lays abandoned, mostly. The only people who live on the planet are vandals and junkers. This is because, with no figure of authority supervising the planet, it's residents are free to do whatever they want, whether it'd be licit or illicit.

## Planet Info

### Geography

A lot of the planet is jagged and broken with large chasms popping up frequently. This is a result of the aforementioned Granda Vermas tearing up the landscape. One of the most popular (and most dangerous) places to go exploring are Verma Tunnels, which are the passageways that Granda Vermas make when travelling from place to place. It is advised not to go exploring through them, for it is not sure when one might come by.

### Fauna

* Granda Vermas
* Grimmicks
* Scruffs

### Inhabitants

The inhabitants that live on Kaeda consist of miscellaneous crooks and junkers from other planets. These people typically are divided into two groups. The first group are people who live solo. They're here either because of the freedom and lack of authority, but most are here to salvage materials not found on other planets and sell them.

The second group are people who have formed factions and groups. These people have decided to team up and claim their own part of the world. They tend to be very hostile towards other neighboring factions, and are very protective of their territory. One of the most famous factions being The Hand, a faction dead set on reforming the planet into a more dictatorship like world.

### Culture

The inhabitants typically eat food that they've brought from the planets they're coming from, and since most visitors come using a ship they own, they can easily retreat for more rations. But when that's not readily available, the planet has been known to be overgrown. Plants that produce fruit and vegetables tend to grow, and factions many have started farms in order to produce more food. This is a risky move, however, since one visit from a Granda Verma can render a farming area useless. However, there are certain spots where Granda Vermas don't visit. However, those are heavily fought over.

The world itself mostly consists of factions and groups all fighting over to gain control over Kaeda. The others choose to live solo, away from factions and war. Some of the higher factions include The Hand, The Brittle Bones, and the House of Hounds.

### Technology

A lot of the technology is salvaged from the pre-evacuation era. Some factories are still functional, but they're few and far between. Some of the technology used by the more powerful factions include hover technology, New Age AI, and New Age weaponry.

## Notable Locations

* The House Of Hounds: Like many of the factions, the House of Hounds reside in an abandoned factory plant. Guarded by other members 24/7.
* St. Meyer's Canyon: The base of operations for The Hand. Located in a canyon which also happens to be a Granda Verma free zone.
* Brittle Bones Sanctuary: The Brittle Bones base of operations. Located in a repurposed graveyard.
