LANGARA
Langara is a star system located relatively close to humanity's home system of Sol. Approximately 24 LY away, it was one of the first systems targeted by the Thoren Empire during the Venkath Onslaught. This resulted in extraordinary casualties and damage to the infrastructure found in the star system as well as the colonized planets within.

Today, Langara is but a footnote in human history. It was ignored during the initial Reconstruction period and is not claimed by any overarching human empire. The people that still call its sole remaining colony home are downtrodden and eager for rescue.

The system is home to four planets and two gas giants. Three of these worlds possessed colonies of some kind: two pioneering worlds and an orbital habitat around one of the gas giants. Today, only Tempe remains.

TEMPE
Tempe is a large world classed under the Terran category. It has a comparatively fast day cycle compared to Earth and possesses a varied climate that is subject to extraordinarily humid summers and abnormally frigid winters. The equator has the most mild range in comparison, but has a far higher average temperature that is often uncomfortable to humans.

The world was not always like that. Indeed, the climate of Tempe used to be mild and pleasant. Constant raiding and dumping from the venkath during the Onslaught changed this. Tempe lays in ruin from the decades of horror inflicted upon the people and the world itself. The air is so polluted that personal hovercraft are banned across the entire planet; people instead travel on conventional highways in heavily fortified cars in order to beat back the heavy metals that threaten to sink into enclosed spaces and poison those trapped within.

While the air is certainly breathable, it is not recommended that individuals find themselves in locations with poor airflow. There have been many cases of irreparable lung damage as a result of staying inside a poorly-fortified vehicle or a home with a broken ventilation system. Every home on Tempe is equipped with a rudimentary fan system that constantly keeps airflow high to avoid heavy metal poisoning. Lung damage is a fact of life, but the citizens of Tempe do their best to mitigate it.

Tempe's agricultural and manufacturing industries are in chaos. Most citizens are required to farm their own crops... a difficult task given the air quality. Manufacturing is limited to local goods and necessities. Shortages are common.

Despite these challenges, Tempe still boasts a population of over 2 billion souls, tightly living together in solidarity with life's unfairness in a series of walled cities that were originally constructed to resist against venkath charges and Blood Hound attacks. This tactic was not successful, yet the architecture remains.
