 Ruled by the Decados, the great cities of Cadiz are legendary.
Second Republic diplomats chose this world as their base for negotiations with the Vau,
and the cosmopolitan fervor which gripped the planet caused the rise of many towering
metropoli. But the Vau refused to come to Cadiz, and instead demanded that the diplomats
come to them at Vril-Ya. The cities are now teeming with the poor and restless, who crowd
into aprtments once reserved for the rich. Cadiz also holds the only reservation reserved
for the Hironem aliens. |
| Cadiz is an enigma - massively built up with metropoli for the Known Worlds elite, it is now an enormous tenement. The Second Republic had chosen this planet for diplomatic negotiations with the Vau, and, along with the Decados, poured money and labor into building and beautifying the cities that covered this planet. When the Vau chose another site, the Decados were disgusted, and abruptly ceased their construction efforts, leaving many partially-finished structures in place— structures which now house the poor and starving occupants of the planet. The cities of Cadiz are now known as harbours for activity illegal among Decados planets, for the house seems to have abandoned the world. Decados dragoons do sporadically sweep the planet in security searches.Cadiz is also home to the Hironem, the reptilian natives of the now-conquered world. The Hironem live on a reservation at the center of which is Turaz, their capital city. Scholars from across the Known Worlds come to Turaz (for a hefty fee, of course) to study Hironem culture and ways, which bears a few distinct similarities to Vau culture.Persus: Due to its toxic atmosphere, Cadiz' sole moon is uninhabitable, except for a controlled - atmosphere military base. The base acts as a giant dockyard for old Decados ships, either for repairs or scavenging. Ruins of an unidentified culture exist on the dark side of Persus, with entrances to sublunar caverns. But this entire region is cordoned off by the Decados, with entry forbidden to all except by Prince Hyram's personal request. | |
