Tuchanka

Description
Scarred by bombardment craters, radioactive rubble, choking ash, salt flats, shallow silty seas, and thick canrivorous jungles, Tuchanka (IPA approx: [t͡θyt͡ɕəŋq͡χə]), the krogan homeworld, is experiencing a new golden age. Life grows in fierce abundance under the F-class star Aralakh (a Raik clan word meaning "Eye of Wrath"). Tree analogs grow in thick jungles, their roots growing out of it's seas. Life feeds upon life in an evolutionary crucible, as it did thousands of years ago. This world died in nuclear firestorms after the krogan split the atom. A "little ice age" of nuclear winter killed off the remaining plant life. In recent centuries many krogan have returned to their homeworld. The reduced albedo has caused global temperatures to rise. In order to maintain livable temperatures, a vast shroud was assembled at the L1 Lagrange point. Now rendered obsolete due to the resurgence plant life and construction of new panchaea-based installations, It is maintained by the Systems Alliance Tuchanka Agency (SATA) which has rebuilt Tuchanka's ecology and is based on orbiting battlestations formerly owned by the Council Demilitarization Enforcement Mission (CDEM).

TRAVEL ADVISORY: Visitors to Tuchanka land at their own risk. The ecology of Tuchanka is deadly. Nearly every native species engages in some predatory behavior; even the vegetation is carnivorous. Travel beyond guarded areas is strongly discouraged. SATA will not attempt to extract citizens that tresspassed and were harmed.
