Axolo

**Axolo** is a planet located in the Iana System in the Outer Edge Region of the OGC. Axolo is a tropical aqua-world covered with bright blue oceans with one large isle. The largest island in this isle is called Axoloiana, and is host to a largescale Axolo Resort. This resort welcomes in millions of tourists at a time. Beyond the resorts and luxury, the planet is the homeworld to the Axolians, an energetic race with a boundless curiosity.

## Ecology

Axolo is a planet located in the Iana System in the Outer Edge Region of the OGC. Axolo orbits around one star, Iana, and has one moon, Loxaxa. Loxaxa is a barren, blue-colored dustball that lacks any life. Axolo itself has a breathable atmosphere with a tropical climate. This climate leads to frequent storms on its surface.

As an aqua-world, Axolo's entire surface is covered with one global ocean. This ocean has bright blue water and is at average four kilometers deep with no salt. There is a few islands scattered around the planet. The main land body is a large isle. The largest island in this isle is called Axoloiana. Axoloiana has a dormant volcano of the same name which originally formed the island.

The oceans of Axolo have a wide array of aquatic life, most of which are small crustaceans. Unlike many other planets, Axolo has few ichthyoid species, leading to the planet having a minimal amount of fishing activity. The islands of Axolo have densely forested jungles with just as many indigenous species as the oceans. Many of the species on Axoloiana have become friendlier to sentient beings, becoming adapted to the dense traffic and construction. Most of the plants in these jungles have vivid green coloration along with multi-colored flowers, giving the environments of Axolo a photogenic appearance.

There is urbanization spread amongst all of the islands on the planet. Most of it is focused on Axoliana, being the location of the many resorts and the traffic flow to the planet. On the other islands, there is various local communities built into the seaside cliffs.

## Inhabitants and culture

Axolo is the homeworld to the amphibious Axolians, an energetic race with a boundless curiosity. The Axolian's vertical cities are built on the sides of the both above, and below water cliffs of Axolo, easily accessible for the Axolians with their four arms adapted for climbing.

Axolians on Axolo are polyamorous, with the ancient Axolian enacting a ritual that involved aggressive dancing and large-scale orgies. This behavior has changed in the modern times to a more civilized procedure of the females choosing from a variety of male suitors based upon their flamboyance. Despite their romantic nature, Axolians are friendly, and stick close to their closest friends for life.

On Axoloiana, a large resort called the Axolo Resort plays host to the planet's nearly 150 million tourist and vacationer population. This resort takes up most of the west coast of Axoloiana, with nearly 80 kilometers of beaches for swimmers and dozen large-scale hotels with shuttle services. Elsewhere on Axoloiana, endless amounts of restaurants and giftshops have sprung around the resorts, giving a trashy reputation to the non-luxury parts of Axolo.

The main language on Axolo is Ghirrup, a language that first developed from the ancient Axolian's mating songs. Elsewhere, languages like Bisish are used in the resorts.

## History

Long ago, the volcano Axoloiana formed the island of the same name during an eruption that caused an extinction event throughout the planet's oceans. The volcano has laid dormant since. On Axoloiana the Axolians originally evolved from a species of underwater cave-dwelling amphibians. Upon gaining sentience, the Axolian tribes congregated to the seaside cliffs throughout Axolo, beginning to develop their culture.

At around 1,000 YAO, the OGC first discovered Axolo, making contact with the Axolians. OGC Feasters, finding the ancient Axolian's culture disturbing, proceeded to collect local Axolian communities for use in both OGC expansion and Bism Trials. The Axolians gained space travel and became members of the OGC in 1,161 YAO after their involvement with on-world communication with the Lecti, creating a close relationship that remains to this day. With adjustments to their culture caused by the Feasters, Axolians soon spread beyond their homeworld, quickly spreading across the OGC cosmos.

Axolo is still part of the OGC but has become more withdrawn from politics, instead being represented in the government by the Lecti.

## Government and Economy

As Axolo is a member of the OGC, the OGC controls the main jurisdiction on the planet, leading the local government by selecting Axolian officials to lead local cities. Local Axolian security forces that operate independently of the OGC handle the peacekeeping on the planet's resorts.

Axolo has few fish species, leading to the planet having a minimal amount of fishing activity. Instead, the planet makes its main profit from the tourism industry. The locals maintain the luxury resorts that continue to attract galactic fame and rich vacationers, allowing Axolo to sell itself as a "luxury planet". Beyond tourism, Axolo sells many of the goods produced in the resorts off-world.
