Barrakru Kaat

Overview

Barrakru Kaat is the homeworld of the vicious warlord race dubbed 'The Skrey Nation'. It is an arid desert planet, with very few lakes, no oceans, and ubiquitous wasteland. Resources, though common, lie for the most part underground. What water there is appears a deep green, though not because of any sort of pollution.

Planetary Data

Roughly 90% of Barrakru Kaat is covered in vast, sandy desert. The binary system the planet resides in ensures almost constant daylight. No true biomes exist; all is simply either desert or water. The water is green and very heavy, due to high levels of a native gas called 'Herpestrium' by Skrey scholars. Any water is also chock-full of harmless microorganisms, making it a rich breeding-ground for animals and plants. Most large Skrey settlements are built near these oases for the plentiful wood. Barrakru Kaat is also the home of monumental towers. Nicknamed 'High Ground', these mammoth buildings are seldom found anywhere but the ideal conditions on Barrakru Kaat.

Sandstorms are a regularity on the Skrey Homeworld, and thunderstorms occur in the damper polar regions. The amount of sand in the atmosphere that lightening can arc through makes living near the poles dangerous, despite the milder temperatures and more wood, food, ect. About once every year in the middle of winter, the lakes on Barrakru Kaat swell. This 'wet season' is a very productive time and considered the best time of the year by the Skrey. Fauna and flora cluster around oases, and are quite exotic from generations of haphazard living in harsh desert and refreshing oases. Nothing can live for long in the desert.

Skrey settlement of Barrakru Kaat is almost total, and the Skrey have generally taken extreme precaution in arming almost every settlement to the teeth. Any feasible plans of invasion would likely involve landing in the wide equatorial region of barren desert. Where Skrey colonies would be pistols, Barrakru Kaat is a whole tank, metaphorically speaking. The planet has no capitol, as a result of an uncharacteristically intelligent choice by the Nation's leaders to prevent collapse of command if said capitol were to be somehow destroyed.

The planet's atmosphere is an interesting mix, roughly 47% nitrogen, 25% argon, 5% oxygen, 3% neon, and several other elements -though there is quite a lot of sediment in the atmosphere. This combination as well as the amount of sand in the atmosphere make for a constantly bright and dense yellowish sky.
