The Sanctum

"'I swear, if they don't have Polaka on the Sanctum...' - Jason Elenture"The Sanctum was the original homeworld of the Rellan Species and serves as the centre of the Council of Species. It is the third planet from its star, Rema, and is approximately 1.1x the size of Earth.

Because of the high percentage of water on the planet, many of its native species were aquatic. Recently, however, its status as a Capital World has created a mass extinction event for many of its native species.

The planet hosts a sizeable popualtion of many of the member species of the Council. It is rapidly becoming an ecuomenopolis, depending on off-world food and material production. The Council does not posses the terraforming technologies necessary for fixing these problems otherwise.

The planet was renamed The Sanctum in approximately 231 B.C.E when the Toyran and Rellan species came together to form the Council after a brief conflict between the two. It has since become the centre of democracy within the Milky Way. Many of the embassies for the Council to other systems are located in the capital city of Tuleka on the planet's one super-continent.
