Planet:Ugandalore

"As rough as a Bovine's back-side, and half as pretty."

- Barda Clett

Ugandalore is the cultural capital and homeworld of the Ugandalorians, new homeworld of the Togunda people, as well as several hundred other people. While capable of space ship construction at a extreme rate, advanced weapons and armor development, the planet is still considered "rural" and "tribal" world, due to it's small population, and their prefrence for living.

THe planet has become somewhat of a ship production center, though The Federation and later, the Alliance choose the planet Matrukoris to be their production and political capital.

Ugandalore, while loved by the people who live in it, is often called ugly as a joke by it's inhabitants, and called "Old Stone Hinge" by Ugandalorians, alluding to it's more primitive ways of life.

Formation
The planet Ugandalore came into being millions of years ago. There, a group of Precursors known as the came and set up a base to monitor life. It was considered an unimportant, backwater world, until the rebellion of the Alpha Grox against their masters, the Multus. Realizing that the Alpha would destroy all life, the Multus Council put the first Ugandalorians on the planet, evolving them in a lab to have all the knowledge and abilities they would need. Since the planet was considered back water, the Multus hoped the Alpha would ignore it in their quest for resources.

Tribal and Civilazation
The Ugandalorians would develop a society on the planet, evolving alongside other tribal creatures. At first allies of them, the Ugandalorians would later turn violent in their quest for resources, and destroy the other tribes. After this, the Ugandalorians divided into different kingroups, clans and kingdoms, fighting each other for supremacy.

The Ugandalorians would remain divided for some years, but would stop killing each other. Finally, one king took the scared title, and became Ugandalore the unifier, uniting his race under one ruler. While the Ugandalorians would remain united, it would be many more years before they reached space.

Space
After 3 and a half years under Ugandalore the Unifier, the Ugandalorians would develop space travelling capabilities, first putting a colony on the moon of Corcan, which would become a center of agriculture, and begin developing more advanced ships to carry them through the void, after intense study of the Precursor artifacts left on their world, which they presumed where artifacts from the gods.

They would develop their first battle ships, surprisingly advanced for a race so young, and build these in under water drive yards, built many years before for this sort of job. The Ugandalorians would use these ships to advanced throughout the stars, establishing a small empire before their fellow Multus Esse creations.

Ugandalore would become the capital of this small, space-faring empire, enjoying great industry, as the Ugandalorians conquered new star systems in their quest to become the supreme race of the galaxy. However, their expansion drew unwanted attention from unwanted eyes, which where also expanding, but at a far greater rate...

War of Arbitration
The planet soon became sit of a great battle, when the a probe of the Juggernaut Hive mind happened upon the planet, and it's inhabitants. The current rulers, Lord Ugandalore the First, and his tour-de-cape, Cadus Clett, an obscure soldier from the low-lands of Ugandalore's central continent, and had become his personal heir and second-in-command, picked up on this, and had the defense forces, the Defenders of Ugandalore, rally and mobilize for a battle, while sending for assistance from the planets Cicolious, Cath, and various others.

Starting with a Clone pod being sent to the service, the Juggernaut encountered Ugandalorian resistance, before being destroyed. However, the Juggernaut where not done, and sent more and more pods, soon, overwhelming the Ugandalorian forces. The remaining Defenders of the Planet, pulled back and began guerilla war against the Juggernaut, as the enemy swarmed their scared homeworld. Cadus, however, had a back-up plan, and rallied the fighter squadrons for an attack on the Juggernaut cruiser that lead the assault. The Juggernaut where hampered by this, not used to encountering an advanced space force. In fact, despite the youth of the opposing force, the Juggernaut where greatly shocked at how well organized and strong the Mendel proved.

Despite heavy loses, the Ugandalorians first damaged the control ships' main gun, before reinforcements arrived to push back the enemy. It came at a heavy cost. Ugandalore's population suffered greatly from the attack, and much of it's military was devastated. Lord Ugandalore was seriously injured, and Cadus Clett lost both his arms. Soon, however, a shift in power would come when a young, unknown officer, challenged the Ugandalore after he recovered at the palace steps. The Lord accepted, and the 2 dueled to the death, the young warrior beating the other, and telling him and his supporters to leave for their own good. Afterward, Cadus would join the new Ugandalore, and rework Mendel society. From the more mundane tasks, to logistics and organization, they took the Ugandalorians from a group of brutish warriors, to a highly regimented, advanced military system, capable of making the stars bleed.

After joining the allied forces of against the Juggernaut, Ugandalore the Reformer received a vision from the gods before battle, telling him that all who proved worthy could be accepted as Ugandalorian. After winning a victory against Juggernaut forces, Reformer took his vision to the Clan chiefs, who interpreted it as divine mandate. As such, the Ugandalorians absorbed 2 species near them, the massively powerful Kadalian Giants, and the feline Kaguran, who joined their ranks as warriors, and would help bolster their ranks against the Juggernaut. Strangely, after the War of Arbitration, the Ugandalorians, and their empire would seemingly disappear from history, only returning in modern times. Attempts to scout Ugandalore by outside forces where meet with mysterious beings sabotaging and making their stay on the planet as unwelcome as possible.

Second Age of Shadow
During the Second Age of Shadow, the Ugandalorians fell under the rule of Jorango Yukon, later named Ugandalore the Tyrannical. From the get go, the Clans where suspicious of Jurango and his ideas. He seemed to favor his own race exclusively, and denied such races as the Kadalians and Kagurans the same rights as other Ugandalorians, denying them use of weapons in war, and trying to organize anti-xenos pogroms on Ugandalore. Since no Ugandal worth his salt would partake in such actions, riots between tradition Ugandalorians and their alien allies, and government forces where common. However, soon, even government agents began to question Jorango. When this occurred, he organized attacks against them and their families, sent them to a fleet designated "The Black Fleet", their ships, called Dungeon ships.

Jorango spent more time building up his palaces and elaborate temples, then helping the working man. Outer colonies began to degenerate, some even going full tribal. Some did not like this. What made people more upset, was the increased pollution on the holy soil of their lands, which they felt was an insult to the gods that had birthed them to this world, and the same world that had raised them.

With this, his field marshal, Reago Clett, began plotting with other dissident leaders to size command.

Later history
Reago Clett later lead a revolt, taking Jorango's title and position, and reworking Ugandalorian society, trying to mend fences with alien races, and work on keeping the empire together, as well as re-finding old colonies that had become tribal and uncivilized. Through his efforts, industry boomed on Ugandalore once more, and the Ugandalorians became settled and content once more under their new High King.

While Reago's last action as Ugandalore, the Bombing of Zarbania, was a hot-button issue for them, the Ugandalorians remained happy, even after Reago left office.

The Kultiin River
The Kultiin River is the longest river on Ugandalore, and the closest source of water to their capital Koridalbe. The river runs through the second southern continent, and into the Mahru Ocean waters. It is a major source of water in Ugandalore, and artificially made tributaries offer sources electricity to many of Ugandalore's cities.

Mt. Ikhu
Mt. Ikhu is the massive mountain dominating the Northern Continent, and home to the many hunting and tracking villages of Ugandalore. Named after one of Ugandalore's most famous poets, Ikhu holds a vast military base and research station, hiding away a garrison force ready to supplement defense forces and fight enemies in a guerilla war if the planet is overrun, as Ikhu connects to all major cities and town via secrete labyrinths.

Najii Bay
Najii Bay lies to the north of the Kultiin River, and leads directly into the river, and is several miles north of Koridable. Near it's banks, is the port city of Braksil, and is a source of fishing and industry for Ugandalore.
