Kangus

Landscape
Kangus is the ancient home of the Echanai, the first living beings ever created within the realm of Pinn. The planet was originally a lush and green, hilly landscape, with numerous oceans and few deserts. The poles of the planet are rocky and mountainous from the dwelling of large Echanai living furthest from the equator. Kangus orbits Dawn Prime, an older, much larger Aether Star, which gives Kangus it's various mystical properties. One of the most notable properties is the large size of the planet itself. The size of Kangus, itself is thought to be enhanced by the Echanai Intergalactic Dynasty to an enormous giant of a planet, far beyond typical planets. Kangus has grown to a size that is supposed to classify it as a gas giant, yet still maintains an atmosphere of breathable air, with no dust clouds dismantling the surface. It is thought that the purpose for this is to create an advantage against ancient enemies of the Dynasty, so that the planet would be harder to conquer or control by factions oustide the Echanai.

After the Rebellion, The landscape grew barren and dark, resembling the dark presences that had influenced the planet over the eons. Eventually, the planet was unable to sustain maintenance from it's aether star and remained desolate. It became a cold and forgotten land worn away by war and conflict. After the Elayan Federation was founded, during the Age of Judgment, Karrigan 6, a moon-turned-planet, close to Kangus was used as an outpost for the Eonguard academy.

Timeline:

The planet of Kangus first came into the possession of the Echanai billions of years ago. They colonized the star system of Dawn Prime to harness the power of the star. It is unknown whether or not the Echanai discovered the planet or if they created it. Fossil records held by the Elayan Federation suggest that the planet was once a very lush and lively planet filled with greenery, vast ecosystems and oceans. The planet was big enough to support the presence of much of the Echani fleet. Because of this, the planet became a great military outpost for the Echanai Intergalactic Dynasty. Once they unified the galaxy, the star system became the capitol of the Dynasty.
