Qel is the third planet from the Atlei Star in the Qel System. It is a terrestrial water world with a global ocean covering approximately 42% of it's surface and has a similar, though slightly weaker, gravitational field to Yata. Situated 5565 LY from Alpha Sol, the planet takes 1.13 Yatan years to orbit it's sun and is host to a number of natural satellites. Qel is currently the only known populated planet in it's system, and is home to the native Usodine species, alongside a significant population of immigrated Humans.
Geography
Continents & Terrain
Qel is split into two large continents, Sakhara in the east and Draqar in the west, split by a large ocean. Both Draqar and Sakhara are continuous landmasses, with a number of islands wrapping around the southern hemisphere of the planet.
Each continent is host to varying types of terrain, though Sakhara is host to a vast majority of the planet's mountain ranges and tundra. Qel is otherwise mostly temperate, with only the most northern regions experiencing more extreme seasons.
Most of the planet's rivers and water sources are located in Draqar's east and south, and are therefore the most densely populated, especially in regards to the immigrated human population. North Sakhara is also host to a large population.
Oceans
The landmasses of Qel are surrounded by the planet's three oceans. The North Daqaran Ocean envelopes the north of the planet, cutting off at approximately the equator line on the coast of Prareus. It is the deepest and most biodiverse ocean of the planet.
Below this, on the south of Prareus and Southeastern Sokoria is the Sokorian Sea, the smallest of Daqar's oceans. Compared to the planet's other oceans, the Sokorian Sea is much warmer, denser, and saltier - hence why it is categorised seperately.
The Sea of Rydel is the most violent ocean region, commonly host to strong monsoons and violent ocean currents. It connects to the North Daqaran Ocean through the Sakhara-Daqar channel.
Regions
Qel's continents are divided into six regions - two on Sakhara and four on Draqar. These regions are marked for both cultural and geographical differences, though they also act as boundaries for the regional councils of the planetary government. Egoros and North Rydel are the coldest and most mountainous, being the only regions of the planet to experiences negative temperatures during the planet's winter season. South Rydel and Aphora are the the most dry regions, with semi-arid climates and sparser vegetation compared to others. Sokoria is the most temperate of the regions and also the most diverse, with a large number of conserved forests and fauna. The final region, Prareus, consists mostly of flat plains and valleys, and is named after the planet's former capital. It is the most urbanised and highest populated of the named regions.
Culture & Demographics
Qel is host to a number of native species, but the dominant and most technologically developed species are the Usodine. The Usodine are a sentient, intelligent species capable of wielding the vast resources of their planet. Most Usodine live in the large cities of the commonwealth, though Sakhara and Aphora are host so significant rural populations. Although the planet has, for the most part, been politically unified for centuries, there are marked cultural differences between the Usodine of Sakhara and those of Daqar. Religion is a large example - the Usodine of Sakhara are typically more likely to be atheistic (especially in South Rydel), whereas Daqar is host to a large number of followers of the Daqari Oracle.
Though not native to the planet, Humans make up roughly twenty percent of the planet's population. The current population is comprised of refugees of the Yatan-Theian War and their descendents. The influx of humans significantly boosted the technological development of the planet, particularly in consideration to space travel as no formal attempt had been made by any Qelian government before the human arrival. Initially given refuge by the Qelian government, the human populations formed breakaway states during the Qelian Civil War that remain sovereign as of current day. Human religion was also brought over, primarily Christianity.
Two languages dominate Qelian life. The native Qelgalari is still the most common among the Usodine nations, spoken on a local and administrative level. English, however, is also dominant, having been brought over by human refugees and acting as the de-facto lingua franca between the native and immigrated populations. French is third to this, though is only significantly used in the Naveux Republic as their language of government.
