Duvute

"The shining jewel of all manufacturing worlds in our control. Dingy, but productive!"

-Conglomerate Managerial Advisor, Boitho

Duvute is the industrial capitol of the galaxy and Conglomerate Empire. The planet manufactures everything from deep space vehicles to simplistic household appliances. It is located in the Ross 248 star system, about ten light years away from Earth.

Overview
Duvute was colonized almost immediately after Humanity was decimated. It is the most secure Conglomerate Colony in the galaxy, next to Conglosis of course. The total population of Duvute exceeds over 8 billion. It was colonized because of its enormous amounts of radioactive substances, the atmosphere, and the tunnels containing huge amounts of minerals used in circuit/microchip construction and ship building.

Landscape
Duvute is an ecumenopolis with skyscrapers stretching hundreds of miles into the sky; no mountains exist on the planet, even before colonization took place. Underneath the planet, massive facilities exist allowing for the Conglomerate to mine the precious materials used in their construction. Trilon terraformation equipment exists as well to keep pollution levels of Duvute in check. Bridges for citizens exist, connecting the skyscrapers together so people can cross to their places of work without the need of hovercraft. Oceans used to exist on the planet, but have been covered by machines of the purpose of water harvesting, terraformation, and electrical generation. Orbital defense cannons exist on the surface of Duvute for the purpose of additional protection.

Climate
Duvute has a very warm climate, considering the millennia of terraformation done so the world could be a little less hostile.
 * ·  Old Climate- 120 ° F on a normal day, radiation bombarded the planet’s surface due Ross 248, a flare star, which is capable of increasing brightness, radiation output, temperature, and size in a matter of moments
 * ·  New Climate- 85° F on a normal day, planetary shield created to protect Duvute from Ross’s radiation output

Native Lifeforms

 * ·  Animal Life- Duvute didn’t have much in the way of animal life. Only amphibious reptiles and rodent-like creatures existed. Even these creatures stayed buried beneath the surface to escape the heat.
 * ·  Plant Life- Shrub-like organisms existed on Duvute’s sandy surface as well as fungus, mushroom-like organisms. Mold also grows in the streets and poorer homes.

Notable Locations

 * ·  Managerial Spire: Temporary home for Conglomerate Manager if he is off of Conglosis and wishes to stay on Duvute for a certain amount of time.
 * ·    Conglomerate Military Cloning Facility: Cloning facility in which Conglomerate clones are created for military duties.
 * ·  Galactic Armada Starship Production Grounds: Area on Duvute in which ships for the Galactic Armada are produced and/or tested.
 * ·  Duvutean Adviser Headquarters: Living quarters for the Leader of Duvute.
