Halita

**Halita** was a terrestrial planet in the Cassiopeia Galaxy entirely covered vast salt flats and mountains. As one of the Dreamer Worlds, Halita was one of the thousands of almost exclusively Dremirian colonies in the galaxy. It was the home of a cultural group of Dremirians called the Halitans.

## Description

The planet Halita was a rocky world located along the northern edges of the Dreamer Worlds, more broadly within the Central Expanse region of the galaxy. The planet orbited a single star.

Salt flats and mountains stretched entirely across the surface of the world. The sunsets on Halita were said to be a vivid burnt orange.

## History

### Attack of the Bornitas Twins

In the latter half of the year 5957 ASA, two Praeliorian Elites, a pair of twins named Jazzilia and Jazzula Bornitas, led their first hunt in the Dreamer Worlds without the guidance of their adoptive uncle Gris Véridémi, who was also an elite imperial officer like them. Accompanying the twins were their own troop of Praeliorian soldiers, as well as a band of Walrakian warriors.

The people of Halita saw the imperial warship from the distance and prepared accordingly, as best they could. A resistance against the imperial Praeliorian hunters was led by a Halitan named Eventide, who helped fight off the Praeliorians at their small settlement's front lines. While only a little over a hundred in numbers, the Halitan villagers put up quite the fight against their hunters. This led to a rather messy, blood-filled battle between the two parties that left Jazzula Bornitas mentally scarred and Jazzilia Bornitas more cold and murderous.

While many Halitan Dremirians were killed, a good number of the twins' own soldiers were killed as well. The remaining Halitans who surrendered were taken by the Praeliorian Empire to be servants on Praelior. All that was left was a human boy named Mesa, who the Walrakian Stompy was confused by the presence of, as they were on a Dremirian-inhabited world. Eventide begged to be sparred so that she could stay with Mesa, as she believed that the boy would not survive on his own. The elite twins dismissively decided to let Eventide go, both because neither of the young women cared anymore for the hunt, in a decision that would anger some Praeliorian soldiers.

The only ones who remained at the Halitan settlement were Eventide and Mesa, with the Praeliorian hunting party returning to the Praeliorian Remnants.

## Inhabitants

The inhabitants of Halita were primarily Dremirians who called themselves Halitans, although a few exceptions did exist. The Halitans often dressed in light-colored clothing.

### Notable Figures

* **Eventide** - the Dremirian woman led the fight against a Praeliorian hunting party.
* **Sandalwood** - a Dremirian man who was killed in the fight against a Praeliorian hunting party.
* **Mesa** - a young Human boy who was adoptive son of Sandalwood.

## Locations

There was at least one known settlement on Halita, home to only a little over a hundred people, mostly Dremirians. This included the Dremirians Eventide and Sandalwood, as well as a young human boy named Mesa. After a raid on the settlement led by imperial Praeliorians, the settlement was left completely in shambles with only two inhabitants having remained in the aftermath of the hunt.
