Akkai is the fifth planet from the main sequence star KNS347 (MPSB Designation), and was the only inhabited planet in the Akkon System. It is a warm super-Earth, with an average temperature of +50°C. It orbits its star at a distance of 140,600,000 kilometers at its aphelion and 120,050,000 kilometers at its perihelion. As such, its orbit is slightly elliptical.

Physical Profile[edit | edit source]

As a telluric planet in a slighter tighter orbit around its star than Earth, Akkai is a warm planet, experiencing average temperatures of around +50°C.

The atmosphere on Akkai is thinner than Earth standard, at around 70% of the density, and is at least partly sulfur based.

Akkai has relatively low gravity, at around 60% of Earth standard.

The planet's topology is made up of dense canyons, vast crater fields and salt flats. The surface of Akkai is riddled with cavernous warrens and intricate cave systems that served as the home for the planets sapient native life form, a race of nonapods called the Akkar.

History[edit | edit source]

Early Life[edit | edit source]

Sapient life is thought to have originated around 60,000 - 80,000 years ago. The species known as the Akkar evolved from large insectoids that had success during a period of dense vegetation on Akkai's surface. The warrens and cave systems beneath the surface allowed the Akkar to shield zirselves from the barrage of meteoric activity, and zirs civilisation developed along faction based lines undisturbed for thousands of years. At some point the Akkai stretched to the stars, launching their first spacecraft around 300 BR, despite having technology the equivalent of early 20th century Humans. This was possible in part due to the low gravity and thin atmosphere present on Akkai.

The Akkar began mining asteroids as a primary form of resource gathering and industry, even turning asteroids into vessels for space flight.

Discovery by the New Order[edit | edit source]

The New Order are thought to have discovered Akkai in [redacted], 6 years prior to the events of BZPB: Resurgence.

Arc Zabaton, an Akkai Warchief, prompted the New Order to virus bomb the surface of zirs homeworld, effectively killing all Akkar other than those aboard zirs own starship, Herald. It is currently unclear if there are other Akkar alive, possibly surviving the genocide by being aboard other starships at the same time. The New Order have classed the planet as a Dead world, all life on the surface having been extinguished.
