|
| |
|
| From space, the planet Volcanus looks like a barren, uninhabitable rock. One of the planetary defense platforms that was almost completed still lifelessly orbits the planet. Volcanus has a very resistant atmosphere which makes it difficult to fly to the surface. Ships that make it through are led to the Military spaceport which was the first structure Archanis constructed when they arrived. The planet's surface is covered in active and dormant volcanoes, with small cities scattered around them.

| |
|
| |
|
| This is the most hostile continent on the planet; Altoa has the most active volcanoes in the entire system. Molten lava filled with numerous types of liquid metals and rocks cover large portions of this place, forcing the lone city Sindyal to relocate whenever a tide of lava heads its way. The plus side of having such an active volcano system is the rich resources that spew from the core of the planet so that they can be harvested for Taldryan. Mythra, a valuable metal used in jewelry settings, is one of the metals that come from the core of Volcanus along with Thoranium which is used in the making of durasteel.

| On the opposite side of Altoa lies Febon, the calm and manageable continent on Volcanus. Again only one city inhabits this continent but the people here don't have to fear relocation of their city because the volcanoes on Febon are inactive and have been for some time. The ground is made from a tough volcanic glass capable of supporting almost any weight and with a fine black and blue polish it makes the continent look as if it's built on the void of space itself.

| |
|
| Due to the harsh conditions in which they live, the people of Sindyal have constructed every building out of cheap plasteel materials. Since they are forced to move their city on occasion due to volcanic activity the people own few non-essential goods and most that live here have no family. The main line of work here is gathering the molten lava and using special tools to sort through and pick out the valuable Mythra and Thoranium to be sent off to Yoren to be processed into usable products.

| The buildings here are also made of the same volcanic rock and glass as the continent itself, letting the city blend perfectly into the landscape. Three foundries and a small port make up a large chunk of the city with two of the foundries processing Thoranium and the third to handle Mythra materials. Under a guard of Taldryan soldiers from House Archanis the shipments of the two valuable resources are sent to Karufr to be sold to the rest of the galaxy.

|
| A perfect miniature of the planet it orbits, Aughran is called by some a test run experience for Volcanus. Barren deserts and deep valleys carve gashes into the landscape as surface water is non-existent. High winds and fine grained sand force any who walk on the surface to wear custom breathing masks along with protective gear for their eyes. Used more as a training area than anything else Aughran houses a few hangars for members of Archanis to send new recruits to practice flying under extreme conditions. It is rumored that previous leaders of Archanis had placed missile defense silos on the moon before the house was merged with Dinaari, but such things have yet to be confirmed.

| | Volcanus is a planet that resides in the [[Kr'Tal System]], which is currently under control by [[Taldryan]]. It is the first orbit of [[Kr'Tal]], the system's star, and is completely inhabitable. |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | == History == |
| | Volcanus is an inhabitable rock devoid of any atmosphere. A highly active planet core creates violent volcanic erruptions which spew magma from it's depths constantly, covering much of the planet's surface in molten lava. The planet is relatively small, but because of the density of the spinning metals beneath it's surface, it's gravitational field is measured at a suprising .51g. |
| | |
| | Recognizing the incredible boon of precious and dense metals present under the surface of Volcanus, several attempts were made to approach the planet and harvest the materials. The intense heat of the star and the planetary conditions made this unfeasible without highly specialized equipment. All Taldryan members have been warned to steer clear of this burning wasteland. |
