Setting
Current Alignment: Capital of The United Aschen Empire
Current Government: United Aschen Empire
Langara is the capital of the Aschen Empire. The terrain of this geologically young world is fairly temperate, alpine climates at the higher latitudes, and tropical climates near the equator. Langara has an average temperature of 43.6 Degrees Fahrenheit, and has a 74% Nitrogen and 22.5 Percent Oxygen, the flora of this world is indistinguishable from that of Terra, and the world is not terribly alien in appearance.
Langara is the fourth planet in it's system, in the outer edge of the Sun's habitable zone.
Langara has seven continents and three oceans, and is home to the original twelve Aschen nations.
Langaran Continents.
Map of Langara
Alpheus - Predominately temperate climate with a varied geography, Alpheus is a lush mountainous continent and home to the Province of Caprica, and Caprica City itself.
Dromas - Dromas is a southern, predominately lush and warm climate with a large southern Savannah, Dromas is home to the lush flatlands of Aerilon to the north, and the arid, savannah like climate of Libran to the south.
Lamos - Lamos is a cool, lush continent to the north in Langara's eastern hemisphere. There is quite a bit of precipitation and every several years, Lamos is hit with powerful storms from the northern Tethys ocean. Lamos is home to the Province of Sagittaron, and it's Capital, Tawa, a coastal bay city.
Metis - Metis is a large southern continent in Langara's eastern hemisphere, characterized by a massive, expansive desert in the north western portion of the continent, and lush jungles and savannah to the south. The Provinces of Leonis, and Scorpia share Metis in the north and south respectively.
Tibertus - Tibertus is a large, lush and arid, Siberian continent with a cold unforgiving climate in the northern portions of the continent. However the western side of the continent is lush, and used for farming by the Tauron people. Tibertus is home to the Provinces of Tauron, Picon, and Canceron
Inachus - Inachus is a mountainous, heavily populated continent in the south eastern hemisphere of Langara. Inachus has climates ranging from temperate, to Arid, and is home to the provinces of Gemenon, part of Canceron, and Virgon.
Oceanus - A large collection of islands in the eastern side of Langara, and has a largely tropical climate, home to the Province of Aquaria.
Tethys Ocean - A Large, cold and unforgiving ocean in the eastern side of the Alpheus Continent, known for it's storms. (Terran Equivalent would be the Atlantic)
Aries Ocean - Large, somewhat warm ocean on the western side (Terran Pacific Equivalent)
Menoetius Ocean - Warm ocean in the southern Hemisphere, south of Inachus.
Enipeus Sea - A large body of water bordering the Tibertus, Inachus, and Metis Continents, likened to an Aschen Mediterranean.

High orbit over the Langaran continent of Lamos. First test of project: Arthur's Mantle.
Roughly one hundred twenty thousand kilometers from the watchtower was a series of three satellites had been positioned around a decommissioned Reverence I, hundreds of small spacecraft flitted about, as the Aschen prepared the test for their new defense system.
Commander Kalfas watched closely as the readouts showed promise, he turned to a pair of technicians, whom were going over some notations from the project.
"Commence first test of Arthur's Mantle defensive system." The Commander ordered, and several crew began to work the console, as a three-dimensional holographic representation came to life.
"Rapid Conversion, this is Watchtower Actual, are you prepared to initialize systems?"
The Reverence's Commander replied in the affirmative, keying up his reply on the speakers, Commander Kalfas nodded. "Initialize the timer, one millicenton, initialize transphasic anchors... now."
"Transphasic anchors initialized, Watchtower Actual."
Kalfas nodded, and began to key in his command code, while the technicians began to work their calibrations. "Anchor point confirmed... Raptor Two-One prepare to synchronize your FTL to initialize the test."
"Rapid Conversion, you remember the procedure? Engage Mantle, and then engage planck field."
"Affirmative, Watchtower Actual."
Kalfas watched the console, and then he looked out to the ship in the distance, which was just a speck on his display.
The Three satellites, and the Reverence I disappeared, without so much as a trace.
Kalfas nodded. "Communications check?"
The Technician shook his head. "Subspace communications are not receiving anchor point, dimensional interference is preventing the signal tether"
Another crewman spoke up. "FTL test is initializing, phased coordinates are locked."
The Commander nodded, watching the Raptor jump, there was a sudden violent red spatial tear that erupted where the Raptor was supposed to be within phase, the ship ejected into realspace. The Technicians all went over the data readouts, and one turned to the Commander.
"The Test is a success. Planck interference with dimensional barriers isolates the Pocket dimension, when Arthur's mantle is engaged, like the simulations show, not only will physical interaction with the subject be impossible, but with Planck systems engaged, it will be impossible to cross into the pocket dimension, thus the invader is ejected back into real-space."
The Commander nodded, as the Reverence, and the three satellites reappeared in the distance.
"The Emperor will be pleased."
