Elysia is a partially habitable moon of Perune. Ice-covered, except for a few tropical rift valleys, the moon is one of the three habitable moons of Perune. It is also the central moon in a tri-moon cart with Ostara and Iosan.
Description
Elysia’s surface is mostly ice-covered with subterranean seas, except for a few tropical rift valley dwellings where thermal springs suspend the otherwise frozen surface. Within these rifts, shallow seas have formed, flowing into idyllic beaches that lead into jungle canopies filled with imported wildlife for hunting sport to entertain high ranking Cartel staff and their guests. The Caelus Cartel has experimented with terraforming parts of the surface. A failed experiment has created an arid rift valley that resembles a miniature desert. Further terraforming experiments were canceled due to their cost and the previous failure.
Cities
Fort Malgrim
Fort Malgrim Located on the surface on top of a random mountain in the middle of nowhere on the northern tundra where it is roughly -6 degrees celcius during the day and far colder at night, Fort Malgrim is a large castle that serves as housing for the staff and soldiers that are stationed there, and is run by the Governor of Elysia. It has a hangar beneath it with exterior entry as well as aerial and anti-capital defenses, as well as several elevator and cargo shafts descend far below the surface to the capital city of Aidos. This location is used to hold meetings that do not need to utilize Aidos far below it, keeping outsiders unaware of its existence.
Aidos
Aidos is the Caelus System's second-largest city, with a population of roughly 500,000-750,000 people. It is often considered a culture hotspot within the Caelus System, housing what used to be an old forgotten Jedi Temple buried far beneath the ice for centuries. Fort Malgrim sits atop a snowy mountain, overlooking the city from far above on the surface, serving as a key access point to the city versus traversing the caverns and rifts.
Avilus
Located in the heart of the Elysian desert, Avilus has come to be known as the industrial soul of Elysia. Families of all sorts of various species have flocked to the city in hopes of establishing a new life for themselves, or to escape their old ones. This has created cultural diversity, including the addition of culinary and cultural centers.
The homes of the city are built within the caves of surrounding hills, providing cover against would-be raiders and bandits looking to take advantage of the weak and needy.
These caves and mountains are the source of most of Avilus’ wealth. Most of the city's workforce are invested into expanding into the caves and unearthing the rare minerals and materials on the inside.
Some say there are rare kyber crystals located further into Elysia's crust that may be connected back to the Jedi temple on Aidos, though as of now, these are simply rumors.
Spaceport
The spaceportLocated between the two main rifts, the Cartel has built a small spaceport on the ice-covered plains of Elysia. Holding communal living areas, it functions as both an outpost and a small town for those seeking to hunt wild animals in the rifts and the ice-covered plains of Elysia.
Notable Landmarks
Western Rift
Like the other main rift on Elysia, the western rift runs over the surface on the equatorial line and is mostly made of a sea spanning an expanse of 714 km².
Eastern Rift
With a significantly smaller sea in its center, the eastern rift is overgrown with rich foliage and is home to the majority of the moon's immigrated wildlife. Every year, the Cartel would hold their "Hunting Games" in and around the eastern rift, though predators slain on the ice-plains, the western rift or the desert plains will be measured in at the same rate as those slain in the eastern rift.
The Emperor's Observatory is a bunker on the moon Elysia located in the sea covering most of the Western Rift near the shoreline. It was one of many observatories that Emperor Palpatine, also the Dark Lord of the Sith, established across the galaxy. Each observatory looked beyond the galactic rim with the intent of finding what laid beyond the known galaxy, and each had a specific purpose.
The Elysia observatory contained a number of items the Emperor had collected before his death, with most of them being robbed from a Sith Temple located on another moon in the Caelus system. The bunker originally had no locking or unlocking mechanism, making it only accessible to those attuned in the Force but was later modified to grant access to all members of the clan as place for their studies under supervision of the Clan's Lorekeeper.
Desert Plains
The Desert PlainsLocated south and a bit west of the western rift, the desert plains are the result of a failed terraforming project during the early years of the Imperial incursion of the Caelus System.
History
Pre-Taldryan
At some unknown point in its past, the moon entered an ice age, presumably around two-thousand years ago. While this ice age overrun most of the planets, a few parts of the landscape revolving around canyons with naturally occurring hot springs resisted the change in climate and formed rifts that sustained a climate ranging from temperate to tropical.
Later, during the first attempts to decide on the main capital for their colonization, researchers from the Imperial forces revealed a high concentration of rare ores in the mantle of the moon and attempts were made to terraform the surface in order to allow the Imperials easier access to the ores, but these attempts turned out to be too expensive compared to the gain created by mining and refining the ore, creating an artificial desert.
Taldryan's Arrival
Supreme Chancellor Appius "Zappius" Wight, growing concerned with threats facing Taldryan, decided to split his forces. House Thanatos had established their base under the ice covered surface of the moon, in the forgotten Jedi Temple of Aidos.
