Armarri

Overview
Armarri is a small world controlled by the IAE and home to the colony Deosis. The planet was of little note until it was invaded by the Volkaan Federation in a series of attacks.

Planetary Data
Most of Armarri is covered in deserts but numerous areas feature sprawling and well-watered savannahs and steppes. Armarri also has higher elevation features such as large rocky outcrops and uniquely shaped plateaus (many of which some IAE colonial administrators felt would be excellent host for highways). Despite many features endemic of a dry or dead planet, Armarri has many large bodies of water (though none meeting the standard criteria of an ocean) and a multitude of river deltas. Many deserts and cliffs are directly adjacent to larger sources of water. Armarrian savannahs feature many tall and thin varieties of flora adapted to surviving droughts and occasional sandstorms. Many of them are producers of fruit with thick membranes that prevent precious moisture from escaping them. No foreign crops have been introduced by colonists as it seems that most Armarrian foods are safe for Euskanian consumption so far.

Fauna are a very rare sight on Armarri. Though the planet features plentiful water and a fair amount of flora to support an ecosystem, animals of any variety are often very rare and mostly limited to burrowing insects that subsist on nutrients in the sands and a simple system of aquatic creatures found in each body of water. Some scientists have speculated at a distance that a creature suited to eating the often elevated fruits from Armarrian plants failed to evolve.

It is believed that instead of relying on dispersion by animals, the seeds of native flora are carried by persistent winds to suitable areas.

Colony
Despite being located on one of the edges of the Outer Rim, the IAE colony of Deosis is fairly well along and possesses numerous working and mostly up-to-date facilities. The colony possesses two small airpads, one for industrial and supply deliveries located on an industrial sector building and the other for military personnel located on the same structure that coordinates most of the colony's air traffic. Aircraft and shipments too large for both airpads are often directed to the many available flat areas surround the colony. Deosis is self-sufficient for the most part and rarely utilizes their ports other than routine (though ironically seldom) supply drops.

As an Outer Rim colony, numerous military buildings are present to respond to small-scale attacks as well as maintain order on a day to day basis. Deosis is administrated militarily and therefore the colony leader is also in command of the forces stationed there. The colony's central structure is an IAE Omega Base which handles both the civilian and military logistics of the settlement. The commanding officer of the colony and his senior staff and other members of the colonial board reside here.

The military Aircraft Control features a small airpad for military use as well as many of Deosis' communications and coordination logistics. The operators inside will often handle and forward all communication and many other duties like monitoring weather, radar, the outer atmosphere and orbital traffic, scheduling shipments, as well as a myriad of additional minor tasks.

One of the colony's initial buildings was the Outpost and is still in use today as a sort of barracks. Most soldiers or standing militia will be stationed there during much of their time on duty.
