Noventum

Noventum is an Imperial planet in the Ketamo Deep. The first inhabited planet on the far side of the Straits of Poana, Noventum is nearly the opposite of Onderport. Where Onderport is a bastion of taxation and the Lex Imperialis, Noventum is a place of blazing faith and criminal trade. Noventum’s population (the descendants of extremely pious colonists from days long gone) live within massive stone sculptures to saints and heroes. Some are lone statues in the desert, while others are clustered together in monument-hives, each stone-worked body rearing up from a foundation made of the wrecks of older triumphs.

Noventum is a vast desert world, the remnants of a former oceanic globe now dried up at the hands of its system’s expanding star. The massive rock formations of the planet have all been carved, their towering edifices sculpted to represent saints from across the galaxy--a gateway station.

Such is the wind on the planet that the statues lose their fascia within mere decades of construction, leaving smooth stone intermixed with glinting metals where the sculptors could afford such materials.

Noventum is home to dozens of Imperial faith sects, and home to even more criminal cartels.
