Osayr

**Osayr** is a planet located in the Osayr system in the Lub Region of the OGC. Originally, Osayr was a arid heated world with flat and vast terrains of sand. The planet had already become a hub for trade by the time it was targeted by the newly created OGC at 0 YBO. Using the advanced landscaping technologies of the Sprizzle and attempting to preserve the ecology of it's surface, the interior of the planet was almost entirely carved out. The planet was effectively transformed into a city planet over the span of a century, with the vast cities being built throughout the interior and poking out the exterior from 100, 100 kilometer diameter holes. Osayr remains the capital of the OGC and the main hub of the galaxy, serving as the center of politics, trade, and art.

## Ecology

Osayr is a planet located in the Osayr system in the Lub Region of the OGC. It has no moons and orbits around the sun Ossa. Osayr has a breathable atmosphere and a two major environments, the arid desert surface, and the urbanized cities located underground.

The surface of the planet is a vast desert with a flat sandy terrain with occasional mountains. Despite being a desert, there is almost no weather, with the entire weather system of the planet being controlled in the city. Almost the entire interior of the planet is made up of cities, with only the core not being excavated. Access to the interior is gained through 100, 100 kilometer diameter holes. These holes go straight through the surface and have kilometer high skyscrapers protruding out.

The deserts of Osayr remain almost untouched in an attempt to preserve it's original ecology, shrinking down the outwards crust of the planet into a 1 kilometer thick shell incasing the city below. Despite the preservation efforts, the structures of the city occasionally extend outwards from these holes, creating strips of building that extend into the desert.

The heavy urbanization of the planet has caused most of its original species to go extinct. The main remainder is the Grunack a large herbivore that roams the dunes. Down below, an ecosystem has developed within the cities themselves. Different molds and fungi grow on the various surfaces while creatures like the Blazewing and Sayrat nest amongst the buildings and scavenge for food.

The city below has various sections divided upon their use. The major industrial centers are clustered around the north pole, while the governmental structures are on the opposite end, the south pole.

## Inhabitants and culture

While no sentient life ever developed on the planet, Osayr remains the home of almost every race in the galaxy, with a sizable population representation every species. Osayr is among one of the most densely populated planets in the galaxy with the population fluctuating anywhere between 500 billion to 1 trillion. The high population is due to the planets status as the capital of the Outer Galaxy Coalition.

As the capital and headquarters of the OGC, Osayr is the main hub of all OGC activity, and in turn, the rest of the galaxy. The planet has a heavy reputation, with the OGC's main military and senatorial bases being located on the planet, and with most major fads, art, and developments originating in the cities of Osayr. The inner city has an entire section devoted to arts, with the largest cultural movements in the galaxy being home there.

Because of its status, Osayr has a heavy impact on the galaxy. Almost every modern city and culture is based upon the sensibilities of Osayr. This is not all good however, many attacks have been focused on the planet throughout history, though none were successful. This is even true in the planet itself, since due to its large population and labyrinthine city complexes, the underground is free to operate openly with crime being rampant on the lower streets.

Osayr has no official language, with almost every language being spoken throughout its streets.

## History

Even before it was urbanized at all by the OGC, Osayr was a hub for trade in the region. Multiple spaceports were scattered throughout the desert with markets operated by local races. These open markets were steadily maintained by the Lub, a nearby race that had an open allyship with the planet.

That was why, when the Lub Republic, after extensive negotiations, merged with the Bombus Empire into the OGC, and pooled their resources into the Osayr, creating the galactic center and capital of the OGC. Since the OGC's founding at 0 YBO, Osayr has remained the capital for the government.

At 3 YAO, using the advanced landscaping technologies of the Sprizzle and in an attempt to preserve the ecology of it's surface, the interior Osayr was carved out, and the cities were constructed within. At first, the carving was limited to the 100 kilometer diameter holes across the planet but over time, it extended further down. The digging reached the core of the planet by 999 YAO, halting the excavation of the planet. By 1,010 YAO, the planet was roughly in shape it remains to this day.

Since then, though the cities have continued to expand, the planet has remained roughly the same. Though multiple attacks have occurred on the planet, most notably during the Perkean Conflicts, none of them were successful, allowing Osayr to remain the hub of the galaxy.

## Government and economy

Because it is the capital of the OGC, Osayr has no real representatives in the government, with the whole government representing the planet itself. A majority of the Vicars, Rectors, and Parsons live on the planet on its senatorial complexes. All of the representatives meet in the Beraz Administrative Building in bi-weekly meetings.

A majority of the OGC Armed Forces remain stationed on the planet as it's headquarters and as defense. Therefore, the law enforcement in the lower cities is also carried out by the military.

Osayr is the trading hub of the galaxy, being the center of most economies. Because it was originally a desert planet with limited resources, Osayr lacks any major resources and its main export is labor. Endless workforces of opportunistic species hitch rides on the many trade ships and work ships that visit the planet. Because of its status as the hub of the galaxy, Osayr has helped many nearby species, including the Exnofon and Ladog, spread across the galaxy.
