Itoria

(ih-TOR-ee-uh)

Demonym: Itorian (ih-TOR-ee-ann)

A cold and dry world. Military Training and Manufacturing.

This was the last planet in the Core Worlds to be investigated by humanity in 230 PC.

Several massive colony ships landed here during the Great Confluence. Limited surface resources led to the discovery of large subterranean caverns filled with edible fungi.

Teams from Ares discovered minimal settlements on the planets surface, but caught wind of enormous human “warrens” below the surface.

What they found was horrifying. Despite only a few hundred years since the planet was settled, selective breeding and specialization had already started to change the humans who lived below.

Very little is recorded about how big the population was or what happened to them. Shortly after the rise of the Gnaltic Empire (~300 PC), the warrens were found empty. No trace of the population has ever been seen since.

Population: 9.4 billion
