Xenex

History and General Information

Home to the Xenexian people. Xenex orbits one sun.

The Danteri ruled the planet of Xenex for over 300 years without being able to quell an uprising until M'k'n'zy of Calhoun led an uprising to free his people. Danteri atrocities included killing unborn children, burning villages, and the lasic removal of petty criminals' limbs. The Federation eventually mediated the peace treaty between the two worlds.

Tentative first contact between the Federation and Xenex was made before the M'k'n'zy-led rebellion. However. after the uprising, the Federation took a greater interest in the affairs of Xenex.

Xenex apparently has a public meeting place called the 'Great Square of Xenex'.

Geography

The Pit is an inhospitable region of Xenex that is dotted with vegetation and mountains. The Pit is approximately 30 miles across and is filled with small lifeforms adapted to living in such conditions, such as the Xenexian Pit Creature. It was described as a hard shell, black eyes, and small pincerlike claws. It is apparently drawn to blood, and is susceptible to blows from the Danteri short sword.The weather is unpredictable due to various fronts trapped by the mountains. Fierce dust and rain storms are frequent.The Pit has been called a type of 'rift' or 'nexus', in which multiple realities drift in and out. Some natives simply refer to it as haunted.It has at least one hidden underground cavern with a roof insufficient to support the weight of Xenexians and Danteri.

Young Xenexians visited the Pit in a rite of passage known as 'The Search for Allways" until the casualties became too high, at which point it became more of a highly-discouraged dare among Xenexian youth. The rite's traditions dictated that the undertaker of the journey was to take supplies for one day. The goal of the Search was to be given a vision of one's future.

The Plains of Seanwin are where the Danteri believed that they had M'k'n'zy of Calhoun cornered. However, he outflanked them and obliterated 5 squadrons. When the Danteri conducted a surprise raid on the city of Calhoun, M'k'n'zy anticipated it and the city's defenses repelled the attack. Condacin was the place on planet Xenex where M'k'n'zy anticipated the best strike that the Danteri had to put forth.
