Narkesh

Narkesh is the homeworld of the Oburkaan

Narkesh is a planet of immeasurable resource. Made almost entirely of a stone-like resource called Kortum, the planet supports the constant war of the Oburkaan with ease. Kortum's miraculous nature as a fuel, a tough metal, and even an edible nutrient-rich paste has only ever encouraged the warring nature of the Oburkaan, and has attracted attention from outside the planet, though the dangerous and territory nature of the Oburkaan have, for the most part, forced others to reconsider. Narkesh today is darkened by a thick screen of space detritus, war smoke, and Oburkaan remains. The smog settles eventually into a thick layer of ashy, sand-like  material that covers the planet entirely. The surface of the planet, if it ever catered to life besides the Oburkaan, no longer does, and any evidence has been long ago erased by detonation of weapons or battery cores. Narkesh's surface is a rocky, pockmarked hellscape covered in craters and the remains of the constant war of the Oburkaan. There is no reason for the species to recycle, since they live on a planet that is almost entirely a resource. This results in massive graveyards of bodies, tech, and spent rounds that are pushed into piles by gigantic bulldozers. If Narkesh was ever beautiful, the war to control it has long ago prevented such beauty from being seen. Most species see this as a nearly unforgivable sin, but it begs to be understood that the Oburkaan have never done anything else. We breathe, pursue happiness, and try to figure out why we're here. They wage war; they breathe the smog of battle, they are happy when they kill for their clan, and they are here to kill. Simple. Oburkaan have long ago spread out from Narkesh in search of resources, but war is still waged on the world despite the species having moved out into the Desolus region.

Narkesh is located on the edge of the Desolus region, on the area that borders Stormfront.
