History
Kirioohsk is a planet that came into excistence in the Endless Space millions of years ago. For millenia, life on the planet florished and remained isolated, thriving in its own unique way. As wildlife roamed the surface of the planet, it eventually was discovered in 1759 BNE by a Cargura exploration fleet from the. The Cargura were stranded in the Endless Space after they hit an anomly and were relocated to this area of space after their failed attempt to reach Elen'Naneth the Star Mother. Their fleet exhausted the three Tantalus-class vessels were forced to land on the surface of Kirioohsk, and the Cargura explorers accepted their fate of never returning to their home galaxy again. Over the years, the Cargura civilization florished and thrived, using the resources of the planet the Cargura build their own peaceful society. For thousand of years, the Cargura remained planet bound, honoring their ancestors and their quest to reach Kirioohsk. Sadly peace was not to last for Kirioohsk as the planet fell prey to the dreadful Mandabits, insect like creatures that harvested the citizens and wildlife as a source of food and drones to take care of their off spring, a more polite word for slave in their language. Though most of the Cargura were captured, some remained at the planet, living a sheltered life.

Locations
The Cargura settlement was build at their origninal landing, near the fresh ocean and the grassy plains and forests nearby. Over time, the Cargura settlement expanded significant, using the natural stone resources they build pyramid temples and small yet sturdy houses as the climate allowed a constant life of living outside.
 * Cargura Settlement

For the Cargura, who normally don't like to leave their homeworld, Kirioohsk became their new adopted homeworld, their society thriving by farming and cultural enlightment. The Cargura lived in harmony with the native wildlife, managing to tame both hounds and Kiriebra as pets and mounts. Sadly, after almost 1800 years their civilization came to a sudden end with the arrival of the Mandabit, forcing those that survived the initial onslaught to live a life in shelter. The main settlement was left abandoned and was turned into a ghost city.
