Vitus

Vitus is a planet within the Rocannic Empire situated in the mid-territories, and home to the Lanius Dynasty's primary seat. It has a reasonable population and comprised of two large continents. The native species of Kattellyn were enslaved after the Second War of Vitus while the planet was conquered.

History
Vitus was the original home of the Kattellyn race, a species of small sentient beings. They had originally grown in a highly democratic society, ruled over by a Senate, or the nearest thing to it in Human equivalent. The species had only adapted to this point by 100,342 A.J. and did not have the time that humans had to advance.

The Kattellyn had not major technological advancements and relied heavily on the use of primitive writing materials and data storage. The architectural style used large stone monuments and temple-like buildings as major public works, while simple, domed buildings sufficed for the general populace. The Kattellyn were split between this settled group and the nomadic elements which travelled between the islands of the large oceans.

Their weaponry was relatively primitive in comparison to that of the Rocannic Empire. They relied heavily on stone weaponry, swords, spears and arrows. Despite their limited weaponry, they would encounter the small landing force of the Rocannic Navy, and through sheer numbers and knowledge of the terrain, beat them back and defeat them. Though not officially a war, it is referred to as the First War of Vitus.

It was after this that an insulted Empress Iuno CCV would send a greater force, consisting of two fleets to subjugate the world. Using aerial bombardment, the native settlements would be destroyed while the Fleet Admiral who oversaw the destruction of the 'savage' capital and its government, was granted the territory as a Duchy, beginning the Lanius Dynasty.

Geography
The modern geography of Vitus sees the dense forests which cover the landscape remain, as a natural source of building material and crafting, using it as a luxury product. These large forests are kept by constantly replanting the trees cut down and ensuring the cycle continues. Many forest creatures make the forest their home with several unique species and fauna used in medicine.

The rich, fertile soils which cover the planets plains make for excellent pastures and farming land, which has given rise to an extensive farming population, which is known for its scenic countryside and small rural villages.

Besides these small scenic country towns are the major cities. Dozens of major cities dot the planet, particularly Esel as the capital, which hosts over 60 million inhabitants. Esel is known for its large scrapers streets lined with trees and statues. This sits on the largest continent of Osharae, the smaller of the two being Gaesai.

These two continents neighbour one another on the western hemisphere, while the entirety of the eastern is covered in the Fensae Ocean.
