Thalia

## Game Information

Thalia is in a stasis of quantum flux, at times the planet disappears for very long periods of time. Recently a group of people have placed a beacon on the planet so that the planet can be located easily during its vanishment. Records say that there used to be a race of Lizardmen on this planet, but from talks with the locals it seems there was a war between them and the Plantra who live hear, and they were whiped out. The Plantra choose to build their cities in and around the trees.

## A War for Power

Thalia is a massive Jungle world covered in trees, with no actual oceans, only massive rivers. Since essentially the dawn of time there was a group of Lizardfolk on the planet known as Thalians, who ravaged the forests, and its denizens. However the trees were proving hard to beat back. Until one day the trees gave life to a new species.

This species is known in the Galaxy as the Plantra, bipedal creatures, made completely from vines. They had a love for nature and sought to live in harmony with it. However, since the Lizardfolk seemed dead set in taking out the jungle for their own means the Plantra began an all out war with the Lizardfolk. After only 10 years of fighting the Thalians were essentially wiped out.

Though really  they had no chance, the creatures on Thalia are almost all essentially plants, and these creatures fought with the Plantra in their campaign. The war has been over for about 100 Years now, and the Plantra have spent this time making their own villages on the planet, and repairing the damage left by the Thalians.

## The Plantra

The Plantra are Bipedal Plants that are made completely of vines. Oftentimes they can grow flowers or leaves on themselves as ornaments. They can easily change their shape, by unraveling some of their vines. They feed on sunlight, sugar, and water, just like trees. Even though it can feel like they are reclusive, they actually are very friendly, unless you mess with their forests. Some Notable Plantra Are:

Allium Ivy: Allium was a leader in the Orange Fleet, but was lost in the battle against Dex Waxman. She spent her life trying to find and kill Fungaloids. Though Allium, while she is a plantra, was born on Violetta.

Thyme Moryane: She is the Chief of the Thalia tribe in Twisting vines, while she is not the only chief, but most Plantra think of Twisting Vines as the main center of Thalia.

Mustard Pursane: He is the newest of the tribe leaders, and chief of  Scorched Rest. This part of the forest was a central point of a disastrous fire, but the trees here were Corrupted, and Mustard’s tribe was grateful for it.

Stillthide: She is the head science officer on the Carrot Patch, and joined after the Carrot Patch saved the planet from the Corrupted forest at Scorched Rest.

Wisteria: The Guardian of the Sacred Forest, which became the corrupted forest. Though she was burned alive, it seems someone felt for her, and brought her back. Though now she has Fire Vine Disease, which makes her vines red and constantly smoldering.

## A Planet in Flux

Thalia is a Planet in the Lavix system and has been affected by strange magics. This causes the planet to disappear and freeze in time, making it very hard for other species to even confirm its existence. Though this was until recently a purge of species known as the Celestials caused a celestial known as Miracle Grow to hide out in the planet's core. (Check out the Celestials info elsewhere.)

Those hunting the Celestials found out where she was and developed a device to stabilize the planet so they could get to Miracle Grow. This device did allow Thalia to stop freezing in time, but it still disappeared. Though the device is also a Tracker. This means the Planet could now be tracked.

Miracle Grow was awoken and it turns out she had cursed the land and its people with her power. Since she could control plants, hiding here was the perfect way to keep away from those hunting her. This is what she thought, but she was wrong, and was captured by Faze, freeing the planet from her grasp.

Afterward, a Keganite ship came to the planet to establish relations. This was Thalia’s official first contact. They came to an agreement with Kegan to help advance their society, and get them to join the Alpha Sector officially. In exchange they would provide Plantra warriors to  the Alpha Sector Army. They would also provide wood from Thalia, but only at the discretion of The Thalian Council.

## Hard World, Harder Creatures

The jungle of Thalia is home to some strange happenings. Be very wary of the bite of creatures living in the jungles. You will be poisoned with a quickly spreading poison that will turn you into a tree. You will be concealed in a Bark shell and then slowly your insides will become the trunk of a tree. If you see roots coming out of the bottom of some one, or leaves on them it is too late they are already gone.

What kind of creatures can do this though? For one the Woodipede. It is a massive twenty foot long centipede made out of wood. Its mandibles and legs are coated with the bark poison. However, the Woodipede is extremely flammable, but the floors of much of the forests are as well, so take care.

Next is the Seed Spreaders, flying eagle like creatures with massive leaves for wings, and a bark covered body. These creatures might actually be spawned by the trees, and it seems like their job is to spread the quickly growing thalia flora to anywhere it is needed. They usually will not attack unless provoked, but they do have the poison coating their talons.

Finally, there is a bush that moves. The bush usually has loads of poisonous flowers that fire small needles out of them. This poison is much more traditional, and in small doses it can make you very sick. Though in larger doses different flower colors could cause brain damage, paralysis, death, and many other issues. The Bushes are also filled with vines, and when they decide to defeat their foes they will use the vines to pull them in close. This is done to stab the target with loads of flowers at point blank range.

## Living on Thalia

The Plantra who live here love the warmth and consistent shade from the trees. Thalia is a wonderland for those who like forests. Even though there are loads of dangers that could strike at any time. Of course, the Plantra are almost never attacked by Thalian wildlife.

The rivers and mountain ranges offer a little break from the dense jungle that covers the whole planet. The water here is clear and untouched by pollution and trash. Since the Plantra are extremely environmentally conscious this will probably be the case forever, as they are perfectly happy living a simple life amongst the trees.

There is a rigorous immigration policy, if one wants to start a life in Thalia. It can happen, as a part of the Alpha Sector’s Bi-laws, set forth by the Space Union. Thalia, itself is protected from further outside interference by the Sector’s Alliance of Planets, but they must allow people to immigrate into the planet if they desire. Thalia agreed, but only if the people who were immigrating were willing to live the life like the Plantra do in Thalia.
