Jagua

## Game Information

The planet has a megastructure around it, a ring, that is used to contact people in faraway and unexplored regions of the galaxy, and other places. Though the planet itself is known widely for its delicious food and its masterful culture. Though the wars on this planet has made much of it unlivable, the Jaguans had spend hundreds of years at war with the Tigua, and the Pantua, which drained the resources of the planet to almost nothing. The only two cities that exist on this planet is the Spire of Calston, and Norington Ridges each on either side of the massive desert on the largest continent. Luckily an emissary from the space union has opened trade routes and the cat like people who live there are now free to live out their lives.

## The Days Before

Jagua and its people, the Jaguans, were once enslaved by the Tigua and Panthua, but a thousand years ago they revolted against their masters and wiped them both out. Though this was only the beginning for the Jaguans. Jagua is not a very hospitable place. About half of the world is shrouded in a thick fog, that even the best scientists have yet to figure out what is there.

The Continent that the entire population of Jagauns live on is a red desert and a Mesa. It is not hot, just hard to fashion any sort of crops and such for a growing society. Not only that, the Desert is home to a load of fearsome lizard-like creatures, and massive snakes. The Jagua rely mostly on fishing, and some really interesting water based crops they are able to grow in the seas and rivers. Both cities on the planet proper are on opposite coasts connected by a massive river.

Though in order to facilitate the growth of their people they quickly researched and found a way into space, and built a giant ring around the planet, as many Jagua live on the Ring as there is on the planet’s surface, if not more. The two cities in the world have massive spires in them which are the space elevators that go to the ring.

## The Jagua

These cat- like people are agile and intelligent. They believe in inner peace and the forwarding of knowledge. There are loads of Martial Arts Dojos on the planet, and competitions are often held to massive crowds of people. Many Jagua love to fish, since that is their best source of food. The Jagua have a naming convention of naming girls after colors and flower, and boys after rocks and trees. Some notable Jagua are:

Eucalyptus: She is the head councilwoman of The Spire of Calston. Her family consists of a  long line of mystics and leaders, so her job makes perfect sense.

Old Willow: He is one of the Pilots who defend the Jagua ring from attack, and is known as one of the best pilots in the Alpha Sector.

Young Willow: He is also a pilot, taking after his father and mother, though he has joined the space union defense force instead of protecting Jagua. His father says “He’s just looking for adventure.”

Balsa: The Dignitary for Jagua to the space union, since Jagua offers a technological edge as a Galactical Leader, he gets 4 Votes.

Daisy: One of the best Chefs ever. She once worked as a lowly cook at a 4 star restaurant in the Spire of Calston, but one day she walked out on them. She now owns the building where that restaurant stood, and it's known as Daisy’s Diner. She opened this famous restaurant after a foray in space with Zero Renegade.

## The Ring of Jagua

So much cooperation and work went into making this massive structure. There are not many other worlds with a construction this advanced. If you have a love for science then anyone will tell you to visit the ring of jagua. Not only does it have a refractive light that allows the right amount of sunlight to get past it without harming the planet, it also contains enough space to hold more than 2 Metropolises full of people.

The ring features a massive research station, where Jaguan spend their days trying to find out about the mysteries of the galaxies that have not been solved, even now. This is also where all imports and exports come into Jagua. There is a huge hydroponics bay in Farming sector 2.

Finally Jauga’s ring acts as a communication beacon for the extranet in the entire alpha sector, though this was added later. With the ring being such a highly conductive object, its range is unfathomable and made it the perfect spot for the main extranet beacon. Also considering how protective the Jagua can be about their home, it is also very defensible here.

## Entertainment

The Jagua know that the ring is their biggest draw, and have added multiple entertainment additions to it over the years. For example the Beacon room, is a hot spring in space. It uses the sun's rays to heat up a metal with a very high Thermal Capacity, and allow it to steam rocks, which by extension, heat water up. The Beacon Room also features a quaint bed and breakfast.

The Jagua History and Cultural Museum can be found in the spire of Calston. It has many depictions of the war with the Tigua and Panthua, as well as having many different sections on past martial arts contest winners, and the groundbreaking of both cities. Also, both cities have a dune racing rental for those who might want to go driving in the desert.

You might also visit to see a Jaguan Martial Arts tournament. As a matter of Fact for the last few Galactical turns Jagua was the holder of the Sectorial Martial arts Tournament. It has been declared by the space union that Jagua will hold this for the foreseeable future.

Of course it goes without saying you should go to Daisy’s Diner if you plan to visit the surface of Jagua.

## Cultural Food and Dishes

Whenever you think of Jagua, fish should come to mind. Jagua like to make fish in pretty much every form, and they have perfected this art. Many places will make sushi, grilled fish, and even fried fish. One of the most famous food dishes is Skewered Trident Fish wrapped in Saltweed, with a side of Strained Aquasquash.

There are many water based crops in Jagua, Aquasquash and Saltweed being some of them. Aquasquash is a juicy gourd-like vegetable, often served like noodles, and Saltweed is a seaweed with high absorption and it often absorbs the salt from the salt seas of Jagua.  Bull Melons are often used in more sweet dishes. The Jagua will sometimes cook up the Lizards and Snakes from the Desert, and have even found a way to make the Thornfruit cactus and Giant Well cacti that grow in the dunes into delicious drinks. One drink, the Calston Surprise, is made of fermented Well Cacti sap in a Bull Melon cup, with a Saltweed straw, making a perfect mix of sweet and salty.

## The Spire of Calston

The Spire of Calston was the first city to receive a space elevator, since it is the capital and the most prosperous. The Cacticat Brewery and Daisy’s Diner can be found here. The city has many tall buildings designed to house as many Jaguans as possible. Many of the buildings here have jumping points for the Jagua to get into their home, since they have an excellent standing jump.

Aside from the Sand Duners there are not usually other vehicles here, aside from drone ships that come down with imports from the ring city. This means that the city is very calming and clean at all times. It is a wonder to be there.

## Norington Bluffs

On the other side of the Continent connected by the Calston Norrington River is Norington Bluffs. Built into the mesa right up against the fog sea. This city was built out of necessity as a mining town when they were building the ring. That is how it got as large as it did, most of the city was built into the ground as the Jagua exhausted more and more of the Mesa’s metals building the ring.

That is the best thing you can come and look at here; the winding caverns of Norrington Bluffs. The dusty Jagua here are a lot more work centric than those who live in bliss in the Spire of Calston. Also, this city has a significant amount of pollution, though since most production has since moved to the ring, it has been dissipating over time.

## The Sea of Fog

This strange impassable fog means that the Jagua have never circumnavigated the world. There are whole teams of researchers trying to figure out what is behind the fog, but anyone who enters never comes back. There are those who say not even scanners work as they cannot penetrate the fog either.

There are those who think that there is untold riches inside the fog, but that is not enough for people to attempt to venture inside. There are also those who say it is a punishment for the sins committed on the planet by its previous rulers, or even its new ones. Though until someone explores it, there is nothing that can be done.
