Hro'zamal

Geological Information

Hro'zamal is the second planet in the Nrrahrahul system. Formerly named Nrrahrahul Two, it was given the name Hro'zamal following the establishment of a permanent civilian colony on the planet's surface in 2459. The planet is roughly the size of Earth. About 77% of the planet is covered in oceans. The remaining landmass is covered in lush jungles with the exception of the poles, that are dominated by a subtropical climate.

Value

The majority of Hro’zamal’s lands are covered by a dense jungle, a near impenetrable wall of alien plants that are home to unknown alien creatures. Humidity and temperature are the biggest challenges for tajaran settlers. Modified voidsuits, equipped with cooling systems, are usually worn by pathfinders seeking to explore the dense forest. The poles of the colony have a subtropical climate, being home to the only city of the planet. Tajara are able to survive time in those regions without the support of suits, but the use of climatization systems are required during the most warm seasons.

Hro’zamal possess few mineral richness, but it has a diverse ecosystem and fertile soils. Agriculture has become one of the main activities of the colony, that is slowly learning how to use the native plants, as adhomian ones are unable to survive in the different climate. Xenobiologists also have expressed interest in the planet, seeking to organize expeditions in hope of finding useful flora and fauna.

History

The system of Nrrahrahul is home to the first advanced outpost established by the Orbital Fleet, this base was initially used to combat piracy and smuggling. The second planet of the system was deemed as the only one able to sustain life, and due to such it was designated to be the site for the first Republican attempt at colonization. Nrrahrahul Two was granted the official status of colony in 2459, following the application of 15,000 civilian inhabitants. Under the new colony status, it has been renamed Hro'zamal by Ministry of Internal Affairs. Arrleef Pondiskarr was appointed as the colonial governor.

The planet capital and first settlement, Muldhir, was founded in 2460. It is located at the subtropical region of the poles, where the climate is less harsh. The town is home to the majority of the system population, that were transferred from the naval station on orbit as the construction effort advanced. Buildings are equipped with an outdated HVAC system, that is prone to failures and other complications.

Most of Hro’zamal remains unexplored, with few outposts and settlements scattered across the hellish jungle. Scientists, usually funded by the Shungsta University of Agrarian Sciences, have taken a special interested in the planet due to its rich fauna and flora. It is not an uncommon sight to see expeditions leaving the capital, with some of them never returning.

The civil war in Adhomai has forced the People’s Republic to recall their ships and soldiers from Hro’zamal. As the republican control over the planet weakens, dissent spreads among the population. The solarian embargo also caused the degradation of the living conditions on the colony, as parts required to repair the precarious HVAC systems are becoming exceedingly rare. Many believe that the republic has abandoned them, and the time to claim their own destiny may have come.

Growing opposition, reports of guerrillas in the jungles and the supposed presence of ALA agents have lead the governor to enact a state of emergency. The remaining colonial guard has been granted the permission to do anything necessary to maintain the order, while the civilian population becomes more and more disgruntled with this situation. The future of Hor’zamal is uncertain, the People’s Republic must act quickly to re-establish their presence on their colony. Others powers on Adhomai also have set their eyes on this unexplored horizon, that appears to be more closer than ever as the war on their homeworld enters its more pivotal moments.
