Excation Cities

The cities of Kalem are more like small countries, containing many millions of Excation. There are a number of common features across the cities, such as large walls that protect against vicious sand storms and a large tower that acts as a govemental and commerce hub.

Takahet
Takahet is Kalem's prime city, and while only the second largest city on the planet, it is the richest in terms of finance and culture. Takahet has a long history, being one of the first settlements to form on the planet, its origins starting nearly 8,000 years ago.

Takahet is quoted as being the origin for almost every major technology and social event in Excation culture and while this is very likely an exaggeration, a large number of historical events happened in the city.

Takahet Library The takahet library (kiscabrek takahet, meaning the Knowledge house of Takahet ) is one of the oldest known buildings in the first excation city, as well as being on the largest repositories of knowledge on the planet. As is traditional for the excation, this knowledge is freely available to all who wish to learn, with physical text books being suplimented by digital data devices.

Gvara
Gvara is an industrial city, producing many of the machines and technology used across Kalem. It is also home to the planets largest shipyard, and regularly produces more mining ships to replace the ones worn out by use, shipping them to the port city of Lsvar.

Lyarah
A technical hub, Lyarah contains many technological foundations that produce many of the Excation's latest mechanical and medical advancements. It was Lyarah is that created the first spaceships and the popular yadokun, or thumper bikes.

Okagir
The largest city on Kalem, Okagir was founded as the perfect location for farming and hunting. The city sits in the center of the habitable zone, with large flat planes on all sides and relativly thick plant growth.

Centuries after it's foundation, Okagir has become the centre of animal sciences, weapon development and farming.

Lsvar
The city if Lsvar is the largest operations spaceport on Kalem, acting as the main launching point for mining operations to the Via system's asteroid belt. Due to its status as the main link between space and Kalem, it has strong transport links to other cities for the distribution of resources.

Xilak
A small hunting settlement close of Okagir that declared a formal seperation from the larger city some hundred years ago. Xilak has been under pressure to rejoin Okagir by its population, but the current leader, Jokkagira Galvik, refuses to bow to public pressure.
