Basic Information
Planet Toledo is located in Omicron Minor, once one of the two systems controlled by The Order. It was once the home of the Order and the main base from which operations occur.
Planet Toledo used to be small frozen planet. All water on the surface of the Planet was frozen. To obtain fresh water the Order has set up multiple drilling operations. The entire surface was covered in snow and ice and is home to very few lifeforms. Toledo does, however, have large plateaus that are high above what would be sea level. These lifted surfaces contain canyons in which various Order outposts have been built. These outposts offer protection and safety. However, with the nomad bombardment along fault lines,the landscape changed dramatically. It destroyed most of the landscape and released great lava flows across the surface.
Settled Outposts and Landmarks
When the Order first discovered Toledo there were no human facilities in existence. As soon as they decided to settle there they began construction on one large outpost. This base then became to be known as Cape Hope. Cape Hope is at the end of Admiralty Canyon and is the only base accessible once entering the Planet via the docking ring or mooring fixture. Unfortunately, all human installations are now inaccessible or otherwise destroyed by the cataclysmic destruction of the Planet.
These bases were constructed in key locations across the Planet. The Order had limited resources and used the environment to their advantage, constructing outposts inside the mountains of Toledo. Some locations on the planet have been noted. Note that location data may not be up-to-date after the bombardment of the planet.
Major Landmarks
- Admiralty Canyon
- North Pole
- South Pole
- Frio Plateau
- Calt Plateau
