Worlds
Artificial worlds: world-mimicking space stations are called Construct Planets. How “organic” something looks is a matter of design choice, some look like a real world and others look technological. If it mimics organic it is a Construct Planet.
Colony 01 - a Military Colony. The first planet conquered by the Skolexari, the oldest colony. It is one of many military colonies but because of its history it is a favorite among military personnel. Main city: Silver Spine.

Skolexari neutral zone 02 - A buffer area between Skolexari territory and another large and powerful space fairing species (left ambiguous for storytelling purposes). Both species are part of the SB-5 Pact, neither crosses the neutral zone without explicit permission. Space station N-02 is the neutral zone meeting space, it hovers near a wild world without intelligent life. The large space station is in the shape of a ring. Built by Skolexari. It holds both Skolexari and the other alien species equally. If any disagreements or issues come up, they’re worked out here. Ships from both species refuel, recharge, and pick up supplies here.

Viinkel-X is a Skolexari planet in the X system, it is a cold mineral world far from its galaxies sun. Nothing can survive here without gear to keep from freezing to death. The world is dark with black stone and beautiful gemstones rising from the earth in vivid color. Skolexari mine Whimsy Jade here, a pretty green gemstone. Skolexari can survive here without fear for 1.5 hours, but breathing the air after 20 minuets makes Skolexari giddy.

Ruins hidden throughout, left by several different aliens who owned planet over large span of time. No native life-form living presently only plants, animals. Wild and overgrown, no cities, no civilization. Mysterious, wonderous, dangerous.
Karve Stone (KSX86412123900): Strange, unnerving world in Skolexari controlled space. Grayscale with gray flora, fauna, water, sand, everything. 2 huge moons. History lost, native species dead before planet discovered by Skolexari. Most of world is cemetery, millions of burials, marked by earth similar tombstones without script or symbols, blank.

Eirrien (EIRR9867) planet in Skolexari controlled space, natives exterminated years ago, entire planet terraformed to grow flowers. Planet supports silicon-based life. Skolexari created hybrid flowers here, which are grown but called “delicate, flower-shaped objects” as Skolexari law doesn’t allow for hybrid or created material or forms to be called by the name of what they were based upon. Eirrien’s flowers are made entirely of flexible glass and bloom slightly when exposed to warmth. They last for many years without wilting if kept in pot of Eirrien soil.

Skolexari homeworld - They call it homeworld, they don’t have any other name. Aliens may call it by another name, they don’t. It has earth equivalent features (mountains, lakes, oceans, different ecosystems). 730 days = 1 Skolexari year. Is sometimes called Skol, the old name for the planet in Skolexari language, pre-unification.
Skolexari architecture: Like matte metals, darker colors. Built tall skyscrapers that almost always have organic bottoms that rise up into spiked tips or flared pointed patterns. Almost all Skolexari skyscrapers or major buildings rise up into a single pointed spire.
Known areas of the Skolexari homeworld:
Skala: Skolexari homeworld capital known as the Imperial City, their main and largest city. It has a dense downtown area that expands outward into urban sprawl.
Cenmak: Area of Skolexari homeworld in the east that has rolling fields of red flowers, these flowers are called cen and resemble earth poppy. In the spring Skolexari flock here to take dramatic photos.
Cloud Range territory: Beautiful dark rough mountains with ample valleys and cold glacial lakes, cold at night, 4 seasons, elevation is high enough clouds drift along the land, full of rocky fields of mixed wildflowers. Ancient ruins lay about, left to dissolve into the landscape, many caves and hiding places. Abundant water and grazing animals, huge predatory Hala’na native here. Undeveloped. Has a single city, Eshxhel, on the flatland outside the mountains. Small old towns peppered throughout the region. Okti’nak are Skolexari native to this land. Mountains a “no go zone” for Skolexari civilians, considered dangerous due to aggressive mountain Okti’nak rebels. The flatlands and Eshxhel City are safe.
Ji’xlnx: In cloud range territory mountains. Is a spa and retreat for elites (and also, secretly, a royal prison). Built into an ancient mountain city once belonging to the Okti’nak. It’s located deep within cloud-range territory. The terrain is harsh, remote, and nights are cold. Pockets of dangerous Okti’nak (Skolexari native to the area) rebels live in the area. Ji’xlnx was redesigned as a luxury hotel, retreat, and medical spa for Skolexari elite. Black basalt walls, old carvings blend with modern minimalist design. All treatment rooms are private. Soft orchestral soundscapes lull guests into deep regenerative trances, overseen by neural therapists, biotech body engineers, chroma-tuned massage, doctors supervising custom therapies, rejuvenation surgeries. Psychologists provide intense mental health treatment. Crystal chambers offer salt baths, geothermal hot springs, rare mineral scrubs, and more. Every detail is hyper-designed for comfort and strictly regulated. The retreat is heavily fortified, no one breaks in, no one leaves without clearance. A place for healing, and (unspoken) a luxury prison for royals and elites. Ji'xlnx functions as a self-contained mountain village. Ji'xlnx is not a military installation nor should be addressed as a prison, it is a luxury retreat that runs like a hotel and medical spa.
Jalgha Ghom: The black desert on the Skolexari homeworld. Covers large area of land, mostly empty, hot, dry, no water. Location of the Temple.
Cold Range: Skolexari homeworld, area of world that has less daylight, cold, dreary, frequent electrical storms, ice storms, skolexari known for being secretive with cold exteriors.
