| == History ==
| |
|
| |
|
| This frozen wasteland is completely uninhabited, being far too cold to sustain any life. Some members of Taldryan claim to have seen shuttles going down to and coming up from the surface from time to time. The Consul and Proconsul have dismissed these reports as nonsense. What is really going on there is not known.
| | == History == |
| | The pock-marked surface of barren rock attests to a long history of impacts from rogue stellar debris. The [[Taldryan Expansionary Force]] decided soon after moving into the system that Kaltace would be ideal for a naval dock. The facility was built on the surface and is defended by heavy turbolaser batteries. There is room in the dock for three cruisers to land at any given moment as well countless hangars and bays for shuttles and fighters. On the other side of the planet, accessible only by a subterranean vacuum tube is a large bunker for the sole use of the Summit in times of emergency.

|
| == Mountain Ranges ==
| |
|
| |
|
| === Kythan ===
| | [[Category:Former Taldryan territories]] |
| | |
| This is the northern mountain range on the almost uninhabitable frozen wasteland of Kaltace. Made of mostly ice instead of rock the Kythan ranges are perhaps the most dangerous for anyone brave enough to go down to the surface to try to explore.
| |
| | |
| === Goen ===
| |
| | |
| This western range actually curves upward and manages to slice through the Kythan Mountains and cover fifty-five percent of Kaltace. Orbital pictures have revealed that deep valleys run along the Goen Mountains, leading scientists to believe that a large quake occurred sometime within the past three hundred years causing the mountain to collapse partially and form those chasms.
| |
| | |
| === Haemato ===
| |
| | |
| The only mountain range to not connect with any other Haemato is the southern most mountain group and isn't any different from the others. The only real significance of this range is that Valkry Station keeps in geosynchronous orbit with it.
| |
| | |
| === Norast ===
| |
| | |
| This eastern range is the only range made mostly of stone instead of snow or ice. Blizzards are the most frequent along the Norast Mountains as crosswinds blow over the range and force storms to frequent over this range.
| |
| | |
| == Seas ==
| |
| | |
| === Gintaqui Ocean ===
| |
| | |
| The entire surface of this ocean is frozen solid with the edges being the only place were glaciers and slow flowing water chunks can move. Fifteen feet below the surface water remains in liquid form and it has been theorized that some form of fish may be living in the Gintaqui Ocean.
| |
| | |
| == Points of Interest ==
| |
| | |
| === Valkry Station ===
| |
| | |
| This is the only location on Kaltace that can sustain life. Kaltace is a frigid planet devoid of any kind of atmosphere; hence only orbital and domed complexes are present. Valkry Station is home to the most advanced of sensor arrays in the system that can detect all ships entering and leaving the area. It is the first warning of invasion and first line of defense in case of attack. This GamTal Corporation prefabricated station can accommodate up to five thousand people. There is a landing bay as well as a small shipyard that can build small barges, freight carriers, and even small star fighters. Valkry Station is the home of the ever-growing maritime power of Taldryan and the heart of the process of producing ever more ships to connect the system. The military bases rely on Valkry Station for its warehouses of supplies as well as staff, which live here. The Taldryan Consul and Proconsul are known to make visits to the station periodically.

Kaltace is a planet in the Kr'Tal System, currently under control of Taldryan. It is the ninth orbit of the system's star, Kr'Tal. Kaltace is a small rocky planet devoid of any meaningful atmosphere.
History
The pock-marked surface of barren rock attests to a long history of impacts from rogue stellar debris. The Taldryan Expansionary Force decided soon after moving into the system that Kaltace would be ideal for a naval dock. The facility was built on the surface and is defended by heavy turbolaser batteries. There is room in the dock for three cruisers to land at any given moment as well countless hangars and bays for shuttles and fighters. On the other side of the planet, accessible only by a subterranean vacuum tube is a large bunker for the sole use of the Summit in times of emergency. Security is so tight around this facility that a private force of Force Sensitive soldiers and YVH-2 Droids will shoot even the highest-ranking officer of the Taldryan Expansionary Force on sight if not accompanied by the Quaestor or Aedile.
