Planet:Demogorgon Prime

Demogorgon Prime is the capital world of the Drakodominatus Tyranny, and is an inhospitable world for any other race. It is tidally locked with the binary star Demogorgon, and thus, it has two sides, one a volcanic wasteland of scorching temperatures, and the other side a vast polar tundra with temperatures nearing interstellar space.However, the Drakodominatus evolved through chemosynthesis and geothermal energy from the abundant transuraniums under the surface of the planet. It has liquid oceans under a thick ice shell, but these are made of sulphate. Demogorgon Prime, with the technology of the Drakodomiantus right now, has been transformed into a partial ecumenopolis on some parts of the planet for the Drakodominatus, with large amounts of space still left over for training and for wildlife(which are ferocious creatures)

Early History
Demogorgon Prime was once a rogue planet drifting in the balance between the intergalactic void and a primordial black hole which dominated the Acheron Region. It stood in this equilibrium for countless aeons, a pariah among planets which could not give birth to life of any kind, forever damned to be a mere rock lost to the history of time. For time immemorial, this was destined to be the fate of what would later become one of the most infamous planets in the galaxy for the children that crawled out of it's monstrous womb.

The death of a star, the rotting carcass of the star Demogorgon was what brought life to Demogorgon Prime. The intense dissonances in gravity broke the equilibrium between the void and the black hole and dragged the planet, closer and closer, to the dead star, until it entered the system proper. On it's way there, it was struck by massive asteroids in the asteroid belt, yet more decay from the star's life, which etched into it's surface massive craters and mountains in multiple extinction level events.

The planet came yet closer and closer to the sun, where it first entered an elliptical orbit with it that destroyed anything that would give birth to life without mercy as it was scorched by the eldritch force of the star's corpse. However, eventually, this cycle came to a close brought by the entropy and decay of energy, leading to Demogorgon Prime becoming tidally locked. It was at this point, that life, in it's most fiendish of forms began to develop. Life, that was caused solely because of death.

Life from Death, Death from Life
From the womb of the dead world sprang the first life in the system. The miserable prokaryotes slugged through the desolate plains, driven by an ingrained need not only to survive and reproduce but to conquer and dominate, a foreshadowing of the traits that would drive the planet's later denizens forward as well. As countless aeons drew past, and the eldritch star exercised itself on the planets inhabitants, twisting their evolution in ways that would seem impossible on most other planets. As they countless years drew past, extinction found itself intertwined with life as dominant species were cast down by the malevolent phenomena of the system.

In Their Memory
After these endless cycles of life and death, the progenitors of those who would later be called Drakodominatus emerged from the cruel inhospitable surfaces of the world. They were a race of quadrupedal synapsids of comparatively average height who were rather weak and fragile compared to the indigenous wild life. A strong sense of collective identity pervaded among them as they travelled in packs, pouncing upon the larger predators in teams. Mutations came in quick succession as there was some crossover between their genes and that of the ones they consumed, allowing different strains to evolve. These strains were invariably more potent than the original ones, and the ones not mutated were eventually driven to death due to their inability to compete. This continued on for more cycles, and the ones left were truly monsters to be feared, imposing in stature, scintillating in intellect, Herculean in strength, incredibly hard to kill, resistant to the elements and quite fast, with the ability to reproduce quickly. These were the Drakodominatus, and they were the dominant species of the planet.

Divergence
The first societies took place, creating small villages in the otherwise virgin land of the naturally despoiled planet. Among the volcanoes of Muspel and the polar tundras of Nifl grew settlements for these first Drakodominatus. However, during this period, the seeds planted by their divergence took hold as the leaders of each pack had become a new strain of Drakodominatus, the Drakodominatus Alpha, and these were better in every respect than the average Drakodominatus, termed the Drakodominatus Beta, but were quite a bit rarer. These ones were invaluably the heads of settlements and spearheaded the tribes. However, during this stage, another strain, the Omegas, far rarer, appeared, and though possessing strength less than that of a Drakodominatus Beta, were of incredible intelligence, catalyzing scientific discovery.

Conquest
War broke out as the states with Omegas brutally subjugated all those before them, using their increased technology and tactical acumen to conquer their more primitive foes. Those who surrendered were taken in and used by the conquering society while all those who resisted were pressed into slave labor or simply executed on the spot. Empires rose and empires fell as the tidal waves of expansionism spread out across the entire planet, fire and ice unable to stem the lust for power and conquest that the Drakodominatus had. As time drew on, cities appeared as the Drakodominatus congregated in order to increase economic and technological progress. The map was rapidly carved up between powerful nations who suddenly discovered that there was nowhere else to expand except against other powerful nations. This of course, did not serve as a deterrent.

Famine
The border stagnated as the civilizations were unable to sustain themselves on conquest, since there were no more lands to conquer except those had by powers as strong as themselves. Borders once marked only on the map became the sites of great walls which prevented anybody from getting in or out. These civilizations, used to conquest as the main means of economic production were unable to cope with the sudden inability to sustain themselves. Famine and pestilence as well as poverty on a widespread scale broke out through their nations, sparing no one. The old, the young, the male, the female, the Alpha, the Beta, and the Omega were all victimes of the plight that nature poured on them in response to their cruel ways. Earthquakes of monumental proportions followed, solar storms, tornadoes of ice and fire, chasms in the earth, volcanos erupting with wrath, all rending apart whatever part of civilization it touched. At the end of this era, the walls were no more, the civilizations mere shells of themselves, but some were weaker, and some were stronger.

War
The strong immediately pounced on the weak, taking all of their land for themselves in a wanton orgy of war and conquest. A period of unrestrained expansion followed, eclipsing in magnitude all those that had come before it as those who could conquered what they could in what was known collectively as the Drakodominatus Wars of Unification. Regiments of foot, carrying with them rifle and cannon laid waste to everything in front of them and took it for their empires. The entire globe was soon property of a hundred nations, but some were stronger and some were weaker. A hundred soon became a dozen, and a dozen soon became several, and several soon became two. These were the Drakodominatus Tyranny and the Drakodominatus Republic, which upon recognizing each other as their sole rivals entered a cold war, their peace merely a mask for imperialist ambitions of a later date.

Death
After manufacturing a casus beli, and both sides eventually went to war with each other. In the decades long, cataclysmic, the two Drakodominatus factions. Equally matched, the two industrial war machines, with rapidly increasing technology tried to defeat the other side. However, this eventually stagnated into a stalemate as they could not outsmart or beat each other. New methods of warfare were invented and made obsolete in this festival of carnage, from trench warfare, to mechanized blitzkriegs, to strategic bombing, to full scale nuclear bombing, all complete with massive genocides committed by all sides, ripping out the collective soul of the generation and leaving them emotionless, callous husks with no compunctions for murder or torture. It ended with powered armor and orbital bombardments being used by the Tyranny which utterly conquered the Republic. However, the Republic, in it's dying breaths, launched a chemical mutagen which rendered the Drakodominatus Race to be almost completely sterile. The Drakodominatus race as a whole looked at the planet and saw nothing but suffering, and knew they had to explore more pastures to conquer, as only conquest could unify them. It was with this that they first left the planet in search for new lands to conquer.

Resurrection
Demogorgon Prime, ruined by industry and war, made a wasteland where radioactive waste fused with lava and ice. Half bombed out factories and research installations served as the place from which the first ships were sent to colonize the stars. The success of conquest in first contact came as a relief to Demogorgon Prime, and alien slaves were shipped there in order to work. These were the formative years of the Tyranny, and from then on, Demogorgon Prime served as the base of the Tyranny as it spread across the Acheron Region. Alien relics and slaves were shipped back to Demogorgon Prime in order to be examined and collected in museums while aliens were shipped back as zoo exhibits in order to sate the Drakodominatus public. It was the crown jewel of the rapidly expanding empire, and when the Tyranny had fully subjugated the Acheron Region, efforts were made to beautify it. Time had covered the once active battlefields and the Drakodominatus made an effort to make it a perfect capital. Spires were erected in honor of the Drakodominatus and the cities were preserved as museums, with nature preserves overtaking the majority of the planet. Only some functional cities as well as the educational systems and Installation 3 remained untouched in these renovations.

House of the Dominatus
When the Culling came, the Dominatus had to make even more renovations in order to accomodate their size. The remaining functional buildings were resized and the massive city of Malogenesis was created, with the Tyrant's palace at the center, a massive spire. This was concurrent with their technological advancement, and the city was created with their finest technology, making almost impossible architecture possible. Everything else was left as preserves where the wildlife, also affected by the Ultima Serum could also roam. Nature was altered and the natural parts took an even more malevolent, eldritch beauty than before. It was a planet befitting of the Dominatus, a monument to their accomplishment and the center of their dominion.

Nifl
The region of Nifl faces away from Demogorgon and is an inhospitable tundra with frigid temperatures, treacherous peaks, as well as blistering snowstorms.

Muspel
The region of Muspel faces Demogorgon and is a hellish landscape fraught with fissures, volcanoes, molten lakes, hails of fire, and lines of lava.

Vestibon
The region of Vestibon is the equatorial region that bisects the planet. There is quite a bit of variety in the biomes over here, with hilly plains, swamps, jungles, and woodlands.

Hyderebros
A quasi-sentient tree-like organism, these towering tree beings are situated on Demogorgon Prime's relatively temperate equator. Towering constructs, their trunks are dotted with a multitude of eyes while their roots and branches are slimy tendrils that can bisect themselves into appendages are festooned with barbed teeth. These plants are aware of the occurrences around them through those eyes as well as seismic senses and can react rather quickly. To be caught in their snare is a truly unsavory fate.

Quotes
"This planet? A hell in all facts, and the perfect home for such wretched beasts like the Dominatus. Once we dealt with them and their Tyranny, I hope it will be bombed to oblivion...No, actually, I hope it will be terraformed into a better place, with the effects of the Tyranny's serums undone."
