Terrain: Nyx has 9 main continents... Zorex, Pelgis, Torn, Korux, Revrien, Italoran, Opris, Teferex, and Vimian... there are many different biomes on the planet such as the black deserts of Opris... or the mountains of Torn... but the most common is the glowing jungles... due to the dangers of the jungle most Nyxians live along the costs but walled cities do exist in the jungle... the capitol city of Sojip is in the direct center of the black desert the city stretches hundreds of miles and is extremely crime ridden... in the south of the planet lies "Vortex Majoris" the largest walren navy base in the sector... it covers 3.797 million square miles, it could theoretically house 2% of the entire Walren navy, thats around 570,000 vessels... it stretches through the entire center of the planet.
Culture: Nyx is a world shrouded in darkness due to its insanely thick cloud layer that surrounds the whole planet... it is around 250 miles thick and due to an unknown reason the toxic clouds are all black and waterless, and because they are so black they absorb 99% of all the sunlight yet they get so hot that it keeps the planet warm enough for abundant life. the surface is made up of thick bioluminescent jungles and rivers of glowing algae... the walren there have adapted to live on such a dark world, their fur turning a dark grey or black... and their eyes becoming completely jet black and adapted for night vision. Nyx was originally colonized for mining of Vantium but it was found that the world had an abundance of star fuel beneath its glowing oceans because of that massive oil rigs dot the ocean surface... Nyxian culture has wrapped itself around the oil business. as such most Nyxians work in the industry. Nyx doesn't have many large cities just small mining towns and vast space ports and shipping ports... Nyxians still believe in the Walren god Ares, however they believe in a twisted, horrific version of the god... they believe that Ares requires them to mutilate their enemies, and wear trophies of their honorable kills... this is frowned upon by the empire but it is left to exist because of how well Nyxians preform in battle... their entire culture is based around death, skulls adorn most clothing and armor... they have a holiday called "Anno Mortis" where they all wear skull masks and honour the dead, it is also the time when all of those youth who are of age to take part in the "Iudicium Sanguinis".... the trial of blood where they must go into the deadly jungles and survive for several months... if they return they officially become an adult and have earned their right to either enter the work force or join the planetary regiment.
Military: the "Nyxian Night terrors" are the imperial army regiment of the planet Nyx... they specialize in terror tactics and night time warfare... they dress in grey and black camouflage fatigues, and wear long black, leather trench coats... their helmets are similar to a Terran plague doctor mask or a raptorial avian. Their preferred means of assault is by air... using stealth drop-ships of Nyxian design... they also utilize special units called the "Tenebris Gladio" who wield long wrist blades and pistols and specialize in silent kills and close quarters battle.
