Planets (Civilized)
#5
Mercy

Population: Mercy is a very diverse world, created through a large amount of trade in its location. Many of its inhabitants are very strong and a large number of mercenaries walk the domed cities of this planet looking for work. Outside of the domes, the planet's original inhabitants lurk the deserts, known as "Mershikali"

Environment: Mercy is in a binary star system at an edge of the galaxy near Frost #213. The winds are fierce and constantly create large sandstorms across the deserts that cover this planet, beating at the sides of the great domed cities inside. The planet is almost entirely under the scope of daylight, aside from a small sphere of darkness that seems to somehow cover a specific area of the planet near a great dropoff known as Illium's Shame. The great domed cities have managed to sustain their own atmosphere within the tops of the domes, able to control the weather with ease. Some of these might have a constant rain, while others are eternally dry.

Landscape: The planet is entirely covered in desert, feeding from the heat of the twin suns beating down on it. There are no rivers of any kind, and any water and moisture is entirely underground. It is said that in some of the caves in the rocky regions of the desert there are underground rivers, but the Mershikali guard these areas fiercely, refusing to give up these last locations of their homeland. In the deserts are large ranges of plateau. Great domes have been erected across the landscape, shutting out the desert and creating cities and tradeports inside. These domed cities have short range TPT systems to send you from one dome to another, while additionally there are gated openings to allow one to traverse the desert itself, although not recommended.

Goverment: The planet is lead by a large circle of trickery and political debate. While it is noted that the planet operates on a similar scale and shares its resources for the beneficial means of continuing life here, each dome has its own government. A few of them are governed by small groups of strong political figures from within the specific dome while some of the smaller domes are simply run as a form of trade town with a single mayor. In some of the more thuggish domes, crime lords hold power over the area and have been known to extract a tax and rule pretty ruthlessly, although none of the domes have ever gone to war with each other due to the necessity of each other. They prefer to keep their disagreements through political trickery and assassinations rather than tarnish their names or risk their men.

Social Scene: A large number of warriors congregate in the various domes along this planet, and their powers range from the pathetically weak seeking sanctuary from exile to a few that would view something like Super Saiyan 2 to be a "cute" aesthetic improvement. A large number of domes are run in a sort of martial law style by crime lords while others might be a bit more friendly in the open with a coercive form of political intrigue. Nothing is ever what it seems here, and they will take extra measures to implant a tracking and communications device into your brain to allow them to contact you in the event of work. These devices will allow them to simply terminate you if you decide to terminate a contract that you have agreed to. These are not always monitored once they are put in, however, and a few cases have involved some of the more lone wolf fighters having had them removed when they were between jobs.

Points of Interest:

- The planet has two suns. The larger sun is called "Liali" while the smaller is called "Illium".

- A small sphere of darkness seems to always align itself over a sharp canyon dropoff known as Illium's Shame in the rocky regions of Mercy's desert. Noone understands how the twin suns never manage to touch this location, and myth surrounds it.

- For Reference: Epiphany

- Mercy is home to the Corporate Headquarters of Yggdrasil - the warrior's guild. It is located with the dome of Jolic. The guild itself controls this domes actions and sometimes uses its warriors to maintain a form of organization throughout the city. This has given the city a militant feel.

- Another dome, known as Ampar is lead by a ruthless group of petty thieves known as the Trallus Syndicate. While the city would lead you to believe that the creature known as Treven runs it, the Trallus Syndicate ultimately has full reign through the useage of threats or bribes whenever they feel a certain course of action must be taken.

- The dome of Shiste is the home to a large amount of Shisteka, a group of reptillian creatures that are native to a nearby waste planet called Shitol. While they are able to survive in the harsh environment of their radiated planet, most other races are unable to survive without protective gear, thus forcing them to establish a location here for the sake of communication. It is believed the the city is controlled by a singular figure that is replaced routinely by the mother planet.

- Perhaps the smallest dome on Mercy, Mycos is a bit of a salvage city if anything. A man known as Akatosh could be considered the leader here, although in reality he is nothing more than a respected figure amongst the group located here. This dome earns its location by supplying the other domes with various goods recovered from space debris and traded by newcomers. They are hardly concerned with the reasons that someone would want an item, and will sell it with little to no hassle. Many smugglers and mercenaries alike tend to visit this city when they are in need of ship repairs.

- The dome of Peren is located near Jolic at the outer edge of the Mershikali territory where they are constantly attempting to communicate with the desert people in hopes of purchasing more of their land. The reality is that they do not have the manpower to simply take these lands from them, as everytime they enlist the aid of the warriors of Jolic, a large number of the warriors simply never return. Those that do return usually do so in such a state of desert fatigue that they simply have no memory of what had happened.
