Kalus is an uninhabited world located in the Rybanloth System


Geography

Kalus is a planet covered in acidic and corrosive gases. The scared landscape beneath the dense atmosphere is sharp and jagged, reflecting millennia of torture. The light of Rybanloth can only be perceived at the surface as an omniscient glow that covers the entire planet eternally. The light defuses to such an extent that on the ground, objects 15 meters away are hard to make out. Kalus is 16,647m in diameter, completes one rotation on its axis every 17 hours, and orbits Rybanloth in 210 standard days. Gravity is just above average (1.05g).

The Planet’s corrosive atmosphere has prevented any large scale efforts to inhabit the surface. Subterranean shelters serve as little more than secluded research centers for Clan Scientists and Dark Side Philosophers who journey to the planet in order to study the Dark Side Nexus present on the planet’s Northern Pole. Archaeologists have uncovered evidence of a prior existing civilization on the surface while climatologists suggest that the atmosphere did not always look as it did.

Kalus’s one satellite is a full moon referred to as Jarri. Jarri is 4,175m in diameter with gravity just under ¼ (.24g) of standard. Its barren surface is devoid of an atmosphere but sustains rock boring insects called Brick Bugs which can grow up to 3m over two centuries. Jarri is the site of the Rybanloth System’s Taldryan Fleet Station and Naval Dock. Its here that the Clan Navy berths for repair and restoration while in-system. The Station features above ground and below ground accommodations for all facets of the operation.

Status

The Taldryan Starfighter Corps Top Fighter training program operates from the Fleet Station and uses the thick atmosphere of the planet Kalus as a prime location for the training of combat and transport pilots. High scoring flight cadets and battle-proven veterans are sent here to be trained to higher standards and with more advanced techniques which they will then take back with them to their units and teach.

Defenses

State of the art defenses on the ground include embedded Turbolaser batteries and an energy shield. The orbiting Naval Docks are defended by ion and turbolaser batteries as well as early warning systems orbiting around the Rybanloth System.
