Feature:Arktus

Arktus is a planet in the Arkarron system of the Outer Rim Territories. It is a world of rainforests with no indigenous intelligent life; the only notable fauna us the monkey-like Taga, which are numerous but friendly. There is a small colony in the eastern hemisphere whose primary language is Bocce. The weather is very hot and humid over most of the planet.

The base consisted of a concrete bunker concealed by the jungle canopy, with a landing bay cut into a west-facing cliff face that opened into a valley.
