Lumen (VDI)

Lumen is the system that the VDI Freedom Fleet first arrived in and has ever since been their well-guarded fort, as with most VDI vehicles and equipment Lumen is a Latin word that means 'Light'.

Concordis


Population: 5 000 000 (Five Million)

Primary Uses: Military facility, military infrastructure, mining, housing and agricultural purposes.

Concordis (meaning 'United' in Latin) was the first planet secured and settled by the VDI-SD forces and their families upon leaving the hyperlight stasis. The Earth-like climate makes Concordis a very living word, only noteable difference is the lower oxygen levels which requires erathborn humans to breath extra oxygen every 7th minute. Due to this all VDI soldiers wear pressurized suits with their own ventilation and filtration system, as well as compressed oxygen tanks.

Concordis's surface is covered to 30% by water and the rest by land of which 30% is dry deserts, the rest of Concordis's surface is covered by dense jungles.

Life on Concordis is sprawling and VDI scientists venture deeper and deeper into the jungles every day in the search for new life, however not all life is harmless and the southern jungle areas are home to several ferocious dinosaur-like species and other pre-historic animals which often forces VDI to send heavily-armed escort forces alongside science teams...

'''Wildlife and Fauna:

Due to lower than average oxygen levels most wildlife as well as fauna on Concordis have developed additional ways of receiving oxygen. Most wildlife usually have three or four lungs or other ways of breathing to compensate for this.

VDI scientists keep making new discoveries each day, it has been concluded that the most dangerous species of wildlife and fauna is active during nigh-time, as such VDI forces are only permitted to use aircraft outside of bases during the nights.

During the initial colonisation days many people suffered unfortunate and horrible deaths from seemingly beautiful plants and animals that turned out to be predatorial in nature.
