Navehzdan

Navehzdan is a industrial colony on Polaris that is surrounded by polluted land and toxic atmosphere. - They occupy a seperated sector of Rortia, far enough to not be reached by PCC territory, and it will likely never be taken in by the Coalition or any other faction, as the biome Navehzdan resides in is incredibly hazardous, and is not worth going to. The stubborn people who live there however would object, and insist on staying.

## History

Navehzdan was founded shortly after expansion of Rortia started, the surrounding area scoped out far east of Rortia were plain and uninteresting, minor mining outposts were installed in the hills without any hopes of yielding much resources, however - deep ground scans of rare materials and ores were found in the mountanous regions of Navehzdan, an abundance of them in fact, - it didn't take long for S&G to start prioritizing construction of a highly industrial city ontop of Navehzdan, planned to be the source of many profitable exports and revenue for the major corporation.

The city plans went disasterously off course, the layout of the settlement was a mess, and hardly even given a budget to be improved upon let alone expanded, as other parts of the colonies began to sprout more and more problems for management, Navehzdan became another lost cause, and an example of S&G neglecting their failed projects, the resources found within the city were still valuable to the corporation however, and being an extended part of Rortia, Navehzdan joined the heavy fighting between the workers and colonists of Polaris against S&G, the hills surrounding Navehzdan became a brutal battlefield as long winded skirmishes took place in the area, with every rebel the peacekeepers subdued, more kept appearing out of the blue, and growing frustrated by their lack of success, - S&G deployed heavy bombardment tactics following the March 15th massacre, utterly destroying the sector with artillery and gas bombs.

A cleanup procedure was planned, it was halted by the planets lockdown, as incoming specialized biohazard teams were shotdown by Prima and crashed, hope of reclaiming Navehzdan were lost, and S&G forced pulled back. - in the aftermath, war torn survivors emerged from the bunkers of Navehzdan, started to rebuild, creating one the harshest industrial colony to stand presently.

## Environment

The wastelands of Navehzdan are bleak and hopeless, massive craters dot the area, and any sign of flora and fauna died due to gas poisoning, the toxic buildup within the ground caused the need to mark "Death Zones" on the map, radioactivity is sparse, but not terribly damaging the area, and clean water evaporated or became contaminated. - Navehzdan stands in the middle of all this, having the wasteland be its biggest threat, but best defence, as it helps the isolated colony from ever being disturbed by the outside world. Navehzdan produces incredibly high quality material and resources from its factories, which are valuable, but with no means of connecting them to the rest of Polaris, Navehzdan sits on a gold mine of potential progress and prosperity, but no means to exploit it.

## Overview

#### **Society - Culture**

Navehzdani residents are hardcore survivors, being trained to maintain their home from a young age, the populous are skilled technicians, miners and workers - having the notion that the condition of an air purifier can mean life or death, they are a tightly knit group that rely on each other to survive the harsh conditions of their biome, they know they occupy a valuable wealth of land - and have a commitment to keep their community alive, leaving Navehzdan is simple, anyone has the right to pack up and leave, but mostly everyone has many connections and relationships in the colony they would not just give up, and by their way of life, they have better chance of working together to stay, rather than risking their lives crossing the wastelands.

Navehzdani people wear protective gear and masks at all times, only permitted to wear casual clothes within the guaranteed safety of their bunker dorm rooms, Navehzdanis can know many people, but have never seen their face before - its a sign of trust and companionship, to know another Navehzdani's face without their mask on.

#### **Structures**

Large parts of Navehzdan are industrial zones, partly rebuilt after the war, some vary from fully functioning to still being in a state of disrepair. Residential buildings are packed tightly with each other, and dig underground to strong and advanced bunkers, sheltering them from the surface wastes, Navehzdani people take extra care to uphold their agricultural eco-buildings, as a large hydroponics bay tries to keep the stable population of Navehzdan fed, meat based products are procured from a small hold of livestock, however most savoury products tend to be synthetically produced and recreated.

#### **Population**

*"Kid, you've done good today- look at me, once you walk outside 1000 more times like I have it becomes a breeze, don't fret, I have a gift for you, its a holobook."*

Navehzdan is home to approximately 200 - 500 thousand people, a small percentage of which are educated, - beyond an understanding of their current tech, some may look at Navehzdan and see it as possibly, outdated. - a large chunk of the population have died out during and after the bombings, it took incredible amount of efforts to move out the overpacked bunkers back to rebuild the surface, immigration and emigration are by now means impossible, but very unlikely - the only reliable way into and out of Navehzdan without the long journey that is the surface wastes is by navigating the cave and abandoned tunnel system underneath the planet, - but to quote a reoccuring phase, its abandoned for a reason.
