Wraith
Space
Wraiths
are believed to be mindless savages. They are not monsters, per se, but they
are people who have become rampant from the vast emptiness of space. They are
now cannibalistic marauders who have given up on the concept of humanity. They are
insatiable, and they are straight out of the worst moment of a very bad dream.
The
truth is, the Wraiths are simply infected with a progressive virus that spreads
through the host like a parasitic organism. Humans are the vector through which
the virus is spread. The Wraith Virus replicates within its host, changing the
host's cells on a molecular level, evolving the host into an entirely new life
form. Unfortunately viruses themselves have a tendency to evolve. And, like any
good pathogen, it appears to have found a carrier.
Wraiths protect their space with sleek, ultra-fast fighters that are without report. The fighter features twin cannons, twin fire-linked torpedo launchers, and a capable automatic pilot feature. All are designs that exemplify the philosophy of art and function witnessed throughout Wraith technology.
Delek:
is an idyllic home world close to the outer border of the Outer Rim region.
Largely inhabited by the savages known as the “Wraiths”, and an indigenous
species of low-intelligence amphibians known as the Kremen. Delek’s surface
consists of swampy lakes, rolling plains and green hills. Its population
centres are river cities are resplendent hydrostatic dome technology.
Tanith:
boasts
one Super Continent and two smaller sub Continents as well as numerous coastal
islands. Tectonic events are uncommon and occur primarily in the ocean depths
having little effect on the surface. Mild conditions lend it self to long
planting and growing seasons. Abundant but well spread rainfall also
contributes but can cause mudslides in the mountainous regions. Meteor Showers
give frequent atmospheric displays. Its soil is rich and fertile, and while
there is little in the way of industrial minerals, it has extensive reserves of
petrochemicals and light metals. It's major continent, Antica, stretches nearly
two thirds around the planets circumference. The two smaller continents,
Thessean and Paradiso flank Antica. The major bodies of water are divided into
two shallow oceans.
Tiber:
is a ringed planet, located along the outer rim of Wraith
Space. Its surface is scared barren stretches of parched desert hardpan, marked
by mesas, buttes, and rocks spires. The sky tints the entire surface below
under a veil of red. Tiber is the site of a major mining operation and Service
Base, where the mines recover heavy metals and rare minerals used to maintain
large factories for the production of Wraith technology. Dozens of small survey
and mining craft operate the planet’s asteroid fields. These ships also serve
as the defence perimeter for the planet, where there are several operational
security bases built into some of the larger asteroids. Tiber is the heart of
the Wraith manufacturing centre and is closely guarded.
