Zygul 6

Zygul 6

The (fictional) planet of Zygul 6 is a Zorton controlled planet in the Zygul system. It is the main planet of military and industry in the Zorton Empire.

Geography
Zygul 6 is a rocky and mountainous planet with barely any forested areas and little water. Its atmosphere is quite thin and its landscape harsh, it is for this reason the Zorton chose it as the planet they can pollute with industry and train their troops in. The climate is quite cold and much colder than on Zygul 7, a nearby planet closer to the sun Zyg. Zygul 6 has some of the highest mountains in the known galaxy and certainly the most erratic topology, as there is little atmosphere to stop meteors hitting or erode the land. The planet is, however, extremely rich in minerals.

Species
The planet's environment is far too harsh to produce any native intelligent species, but there are a few animalistic native species, some of them silicon-based due to the rocky landscape, in the forests of the equator more life does thrive but closer to the poles it is barren.

The Zorton, from Vossus, rule the planet and colonized it long ago, using it for mining and industry. Later they began using the planet as a training ground for their military. many Zegi also live there, working in the factories and mines.

Society
Zygul 6 isn't a vastly residential planet, the only people who live there are those involved in the industry and military, although there are a few churches of Zogron here and there as many of the residents are Zorton. The Zorton make up the bulk of the businessmen, military and factory-owners, there are a lot of workers of other species such as Zegi who do the physical work.

Significant Locations
There are no significant cities on the planet, but the coastal town of Zyg-Forge is an industrial hub.

Camp Alpha is the main military camp.

Also Newton Labs have a factory on the planet that makes all the parts for their technology.

The Spaceport of Zyg-Forge is massive as it has to accommodate all the transport of goods and minerals that comes to and fro the planet.
