| == History == | | Sukhur is the innermost planet of the [[Dajorra System]], lying approximately 120 million kilometers from its star. A volatile world once home to vast deserts, it now exists as a geological marvel and a place of great danger — a planet of glass and fire housing a harsh, unforgiving environment where survival is measured in mere hours and minutes without proper protection. |
| | |
| | During the day, Sukhur’s surface is dominated by seas of molten glass that shift and roil between large landmasses made of igneous rock and heavy metals. The deadly seas only calm during the planet’s night cycle, which lasts approximately 6.25 standard days. This triggers a period of rapid cooling exacerbated by its thin (relative to [[Selen]]) atmosphere, causing its molten surface to cool into a solid, albeit fragile, crust. The thickness of the glass surface varies, but on average it typically has a depth of about 50 meters. |
| | |
| | Should one make it past its initial hazards, they will find a planet replete with natural resources that Clan Arcana harvest to great benefit. From heavy metals to crystallized Tianna deposits, the planet has more than enough to hold the interest of Clan Arcona’s [[Arconan Armed Forces|military]] and the corporations it controls, such as the [[Zainab Mining Enterprise]]. Recent anomalous seismic and thermal data have drawn the intention of Dajorran scientists, some of which suspect that these readings may be hints of lifeforms existing somewhere on the otherwise barren planet. All manmade structures on Sukhur are protected by their permacrete composition and advanced thermal deflector shields. |

| | === Atmosphere and Hazards === |
| | |
| | * '''Atmospheric Class:''' Type II - Sukhur possesses a thin atmosphere rendered toxic by fumes emitted from the daily superheating of its glass surface; most near-human species require a breathing apparatus or a hermetically sealed suit to withstand prolonged exposure. |
| | * '''Thermal Radiation:''' Days on Sukhur expose its surface to such intense thermal radiation that unshielded electronics and unprotected organic matter will experience extensive burns, melting, and death/destruction. |
|
| |
|
| The inner-most planet of Sukhur is also the harshest of the planets [[Arcona]] has made use of. Sukhur was originally selected as the headquarters of [[House Galeres]] for this very reason.
| | === '''Effects on Personnel''' === |
| | Extended stays on Sukhur are prohibited due to: |
|
| |
|
| Sukhur is continually baking in the glare of [[Dajorra System|Dajorra]], and its landscape is constantly being melted and rearranged. Sukhur's orbit gradually brings it closer to the star, and scientists have theorized that it once was a desert planet. However, the sand has now melted into a shifting sea of glass, which are often as deep as 50 meters. The only time it's safe to be on Sukhur's surface is during the long night, after the glass has cooled to a solid.
| | * '''Physiological Stress:''' Exposure to Sukhur’s intense solar radiation from Dajorra can cause chronic fatigue, severe burns, and in rare cases, organ failure despite the use of protective gear. |
| | * '''Psychological Stress:''' Members of the Galeres Field Medic Corps have linked extended shifts in Sukhur’s facilities to heightened levels of anxiety, sensory-perceptual alterations, and psychosis. |
| | * '''Operational Protocols:''' To reduce these risks, the bulk of maintenance, defense, and resource extraction on Sukhur are handled via droid labor. Frequent rotations of organic personnel are maintained to keep exposure to these debilitating effects to a minimum. |

| Setting eyes on the endless glass plains of Sukhur will make one forget how terrible a place it really is; the crystalline seas continue to the horizon, punctured every now and again by igneous rock formations that haven't been washed away by the ever-changing landscape.

|
| The fact that [[Clan Arcona]] is able to maintain permanent structures on Sukhur is a testament to the skills of their engineers. Prefabricated, heat-resistant structures are sunk into the still-molten glass after sunset, resting on the rock below, and then connected by a series of tunnels. From these structures diggers carved halls and chambers out of the rock of Sukhur itself, where the heat of Dajorra cannot damage it. Tunnels run from the base to a point approximately 20 meters above glass level, ensuring that Arconans aren't trapped below. | | The innermost planet of Sukhur is also the harshest of the planets under [[Arcona]]'s comtrol. Sukhur was originally selected as the headquarters of [[House Galeres]] for this very reason. |
|
| |
|
| Since leaving Sukhur for [[Eldar]], the former House Galeres headquarters have been converted into a proverbial "Last Stand" for [[Arcona]]. The hidden base has been filled with supplies for a long-term guerilla war, should the [[Dajorra System]] ever be over-run by any enemies. The very location of this base has been stricken from all formal records, knowledge of it known only to top-ranking officials in the [[Arcona]] Military. A small garrison of troops however are stationed within the base at all times, ensuring all systems and equipments are kept in working order, should a worst-case scenario occur.
| | Now that Galeres is headquartered in [[Fort Blindshot]], the former House Galeres base has been converted into mining facility by [[Arcona_Prospectus#Zainab_Mining_Enterprise|Zainab Mining Enterprise]] to extract the wealth of [[Starwars:Tibanna|Crystallised Tibanna]] deep beneath Sukhur's surface. |

These automated mining installations are heavily guarded by battle droids, and are overseen by small teams of maintenance technicians and security specialists, some of which include Arconan military personnel. |

| The Box is an impressive prison, its security having been designed by some of the Agency’s finest minds in tandem with Andrelious, who was given oversight during the design process. It is buried deep into the glass formations of its home planet, making it impossible to access at times when the surface above has cooled. This particular element of security was why Andrelious favoured Sukhur so highly. The path between the landing facility, which is protected from the elements by an energy shield, and the surface, is incredibly treacherous and beyond the means of all but the most skilled pilots.

History
The innermost planet of Sukhur is also the harshest of the planets under Arcona's comtrol. Sukhur was originally selected as the headquarters of House Galeres for this very reason.
Now that Galeres is headquartered in Fort Blindshot, the former House Galeres base has been converted into mining facility by Zainab Mining Enterprise to extract the wealth of Crystallised Tibanna deep beneath Sukhur's surface.
Settlements
Former Galeres Base
Hidden far below the planet's surface, numerous mining installations exist to harvest crystallized tibanna from deep within Sukhur's crust. Shielded by thick permacrete plating and advanced deflector shields, the mines serve as one of Clan Arcona's primary resource caches used to support its armaments and fleet infrastructure. These automated mining installations are heavily guarded by battle droids, and are overseen by small teams of maintenance technicians and security specialists, some of which include Arconan military personnel.
The Box
During the reign of Consul Wuntila, further uses for the inhospitable planet were discussed. At the time the number of long term prisoners held by the Shadow Clan had become so high that existing facilities were beginning to struggle to cope.
On appointment to Rollmaster, Andrelious J. Inahj was directed to find somewhere to construct a new, high security prison to facilitate the transfer of Arcona’s most dangerous (except for those held on Dusk Station), many of whom were captured Force sensitives that had refused to integrate into Arcona’s ranks.
As an ex-member of the former Sukhur’s Legion, Inahj quickly decided that Sukhur was to be the new prison’s location. The horrors of its environment, whilst it would make initial construction difficult, would make escape incredibly hazardous, and Andrelious hoped that this would also discourage attempts.
Construction was begun almost immediately, with Wuntila handing over full control to agents of the Dajorra Intelligence Agency as soon as the facility became operational.
Nicknaming the prison ‘The Box’, the Agency transferred the majority of their higher security prisoners, mostly Force sensitives, bounty hunters and high ranking enemy officials, straight to The Box.
The Box is an impressive prison, its security having been designed by some of the Agency’s finest minds in tandem with Andrelious, who was given oversight during the design process. It is buried deep into the glass formations of its home planet, making it impossible to access at times when the surface above has cooled.
