Arkas

Arkas is the capital colony of the New Draconian Technocracy. It is the fourth planet from its binary star and has an aggregate mass of approximately 8-9PMU. The planet is divided into 16 prefectures, of which Tatsu Park is the capital prefecture (with the capital metropolis being Elijah's Landing). In 12276, the recorded population of Arkas was 1,342,684,764 though Overseer estimates place the actual count at 1.5 billion.

Etymology

The name of the planet has fluctuated wildly throughout history, with the identity of planet being hotly contested throughout history due to pre-unification religious competition and meddling on behalf of the post-unification Eldership. The earliest surviving records, dating over 15,000 standard cycles ago, do not explicitly refer to the planet as a whole but rather to the land in general. (((The name of land was __ meaning “something”. Unification… formerly named the planet after leading Elder… later named after the Earth-mother god. Even after federation contact, the name of the Draconian home planet still remained in flux. With Anachronistic Animism now dwindling in popularity due to a myriad of competing cultures, ideologies and religions, the name of the planet began to fluctuate again, mostly between prominent individuals such as explorers and politicians. Eventually the name settled on Sark, a prominent industrialist responsible for spearheading the residual projects surrounding Elijah’s Landing.

A later litany of sexual assault claims against Sark, in combination with the Arkasian Uprising, caused Sark’s namesake to be revoked. By Technocracy decree, the name of the planet then became the similar-sounding Arkas, an novice astrophysicist who played a key role in the construction of Arkas’ current orbital installations.
