Voyakarai

Voyakarai was a life-filled planet in the Andromeda Galaxy and the capital world of the Vokyran Ascendancy.

History

Voyakarai was the first world settled by the Ashderians after their exodus from the Milky Way Galaxy. The world was chosen for its high levels of biological compatibility with the Ashderian species, a streak of luck which has been vexing to Ashderians to this day. Over the course of 500 years and several Ashderian nations, the world was sculpted in large (and small) ways to make it more palatable to the Ashderian species. The final, and most major change to take place was a 240-year long mega-project which turned the planet into a shell-world. This was to increase surface area and to serve as a monument to their achievements; technological, political and otherwise.

Structural Topography

Voyakarai was converted into a shell-world; a planet with a massive, artificially hollowed-out underground surface. The world had five major entrances to this underground surface which were marked by giant, artificial cylindrical pits with space-elevators at the center. Various other entrances existed around the planet. The planet had just under double the surface area that a standard habitable planet of its size typically has.

To be added.

Current Condition

Voyakarai is habitable, however, there are areas still occupied by toxic substances and high levels of radiation. These areas were ground zero of foreign weapons used by the Tyriit. Furthermore, the planet is infested with droves of Tyriit, making it virtually impossible for anyone to get close, much less settle upon it. It is speculated that the increased Tyriit presence is due to the Doorway of Prophecy discovered hidden away in a cave system a good distance away from a destroyed city. It is a suicidal idea for any species to go near Voyakarai at this time.
