Debar

**Classification:** M-Class

**Moons:** 3 - Bileor, Fitur and Salo.

The first planet that humans colonized, Debar has long been considered the 'home of humans' by those who lived in the Andromeda Galaxy before the humans arrived, and it serves as the government center for all things human.

## Debar

### Inhabitants

Mostly humans

Debar is located in the Primordium solar system. It is the third planet from the day star, and one of four in the system. Its closest planetary is Illton.

## History

Although there are other species who live here, the majority of the population (as one might guess) are human. Debar has a much higher tech level compared to Old Terra. It is a society with complex technology that emphasizes renewable energy, and protecting the environment. This is Humanity's second chance.

Those who colonized Debar understood the value of keeping environment and natural resources safeguarded. They were careful in their colonies constructions, and the colonists and their ancestors have been custodians to the planet in a way their ancestors never were to Old Terra.

## Geography

Debar consists of two major landmasses - the northern continent and the southern continent. The northern continent has all the earmarks of a high-tech, heavily populated landscape; however the southern continent was long ago put aside as a nature preserve.

### *Northern Continent*

The northern continent is the primary location of non-indigenous residents that include primarily humans, but also a scattering of other races. The industrial, residential and agricultural hubs are located here.

### *Southern Continent*

The entire Southern Continent is set aside for animal and plant preservation, and only a select few people live there as well as only a select few tourists go there per year. This ensures the wild life stays wild and the native plants and animals can be preserved. Its various biospheres have a population of all the indigenous flora and fauna.

## Cultures

Debar is primarily inhabited by humans. It is a high-technological planet and the first world in the Andromeda to be colonized by humans.

## Galactic Influence

Debar is a major galactic player. It is considered the 'home-world' of humans in the Andromeda.

## Satellites

There are various satellites that orbit Debar, most of them are the smaller ones indicative of a world that uses them for long-range communication and scientific purposes. The satellites of note are its three moons and the space station R.I.T. Debar's moons stand out because all three of them have atmospheres that are *T.A.* and therefore all of them qualify as 'M' class.

### Bileor

Bileor is the largest of the moons, and looks bluish in the Debarian sky.

It is an icy, barren wasteland that does not contribute to colonization well. It has little indigenous life. Scattered peoples live there, and rumors of a larthan species hiding somewhere in the frigid emptiness persist. There is no regular space travel to the moon. It has limited tourism. Only the most adventurous tourists who enjoy the extreme types of environments and sports venture to Bileor. Airspace around Bileor has minimal protection.

### Fitur

Fitur is the second largest of the moons, and appears orange in the Debarian sky with a swath of gray on one side. Though there is water on the moon, it is too shallow and small to see from Debar.

Debar is at war with Fitur. The Debarian government claims an anti-government rebellion set up bases on the moon, and in order to curtail the potential threat of a civil war, the airspace over Fitur is off limits to civilians. To enter the airspace or land on the moon, it requires the highest of clearance or mission papers assigning one to Fiturese conflict.

The government sends soldiers on a regular basis to fight in the conflict. Sometimes, it sends diplomatic envoys. A mission to Fitur is almost a death sentence. Most do not return. Others return changed. Many simply vanish. The scattered survivors tell of fighting monsters and watching their comrades go insane. In some circles, Debarians complain the war is a waste of credits, going so far as to suggest giving Fitur to the rebels and leave them in peace. And, there are rumors. Rumors of the escaped scientific experiments, of the biological warfare being conducted on the moon, of the "civil war" being a coverup.

Recently, receivers capable of picking up the low bands radio waves have caught fragments of a voice sent from somewhere in Fitur's vicinity - possibly even from the surface of the moon itself. Who is the mysterious voice? The Debarian government denies knowledge of any transmission or life outside the rebels. Whatever the truth about the war is remains a mystery to most. One thing remains an eerie truth, going to Fitur remains a perilous mission for both diplomatic envoys and military operations alike.

### Salo

Salo is the smallest of the moons. In the Debarian sky, Salo appears white with several dark blue blotches, its oceans visible from the planet below.

It is an untouched wilderness. When the Debar government discovered the vast multitude of indigenous life on Salo, it closed off the moon from regular contact. No spaceships may land on this moon without the strictest of authorizations. The I.G.P. and Debarian space police remain in orbit around the moon, guarding it from outsiders.

Like the Isle of Man, on ancient Terra, there are only a handful of permanent non-native residents on Salo. These consist of the world's caretakers, their immediate families (one generation in either direction), and the scattered settlers who claimed homesteads prior to the Debar government closing the world to new residents. In addition to these protections, only a select number of visitors are allowed here at any given time, and any given tourist season.

### The R.I.T.

The R.I.T. was the first space-station successfully created by humans in the A.G. It has maintained a steady orbit around Debar since its creation. It is considered the galactic way-station for anyone visiting Debar or the rest of the 'civilized' areas of the galaxy. The R.I.T. is also the current headquarters for the I.G.P.
