Venikon

Venikon is the Capital Planet of the Empire. It is a very rare planet that exists in the Galaxy as it is both tidally locked, but has life as well as vegetation on its surface.

DISCOVERY
Its rarity was only found due to the intense meditative stance the Emperor was in while trying to find a new Capital for the Empire.

TERRAIN
The Terrain of Venikon is similar to that of vegetated habitable planets, only drastically different as it is tidally locked. This means that one side always faces its star, and counterlikewise for the other side that never sees its star, it is completely eternally frozen. The Emperor decided to use the frozen side of the planet to his advantage, and has built a near-impenetrable subglacier network of defence systems designed to turn the planet into a "living" weapon from one side if need be.

Then there is the Vegetation, which gives the planet its greenish color. This is mainly where the Empire has its civilisation, however many of its resorts are in the snowy mountains to the south of the glacier.

And in between the Vegetated side and the Glacier Side lies a desert-like area. It runs all round the planet, acting as a barrier between the two other sides of the planet.

FEATURES
Along with the planets rarity, there are quite a few beautiful sights to see from the planet. For example, the (PENDING) Cluster is visible from the planet in most locations, although is most beautifully seen from another feature, The Ridge. There is also a chance to visit some of the planets dwarf moons (asteroids), allbeit quite expensively. The view of the planet from them is astrounding as it allows the customer to see the planets sheer beauty as the rare cloud formation gathers around the atmosphere, and as the mountains poke through them.
