A desert world scoured clean by ceaseless sandstorms that wash across its surface. During initial surveys, individual sandstorms that lasted for several years and reached top speeds of 805 km/h were observed. Most surface probes were destroyed in a matter of hours, but revealed the existance of unnatural rock formations buried beneath the sands. In 763 A.S. [[Rheinland]], jealous of the massive technological advantage [[Liberty]] had over them through the Valhalla archives, dispatched a deep space survey team to the planet to uncover what secrets might lie beneath the raging sands. They found something unexpected: An underground city, perfectly preserved, with a trove of alien technologies - some of which were alive. Curiosity turned to carelessness, and some chambers that should have stayed sealed, were opened. The [[Nomads]], as they later came to known, awoke from their stasis and were quick to overwhelm and subvert the science teams. After learning from their memories what had happened in the past centuries, they return to Rheinland with them with a wealth of artifacts, data, and other Nomads, masquerading as a highly successful expedition. This set events in motion that would later trigger the [[Nomad War]].

Pygar has since then been visited a number of times by other, more cautious science teams. The Nomad infections that triggered the Nomad war were traced back to Pygar, but subsequent searches showed the alien city devoid of any activity. The Nomads had left, and taken whatever technology was left on Pygar, with them. Surface conditions remain extremely hazardous, and it can be months before a window opens in the atmosphere for ships to safely land or lift off. Still, the chance of unlocking alien secrets is a major draw to xenoarcheologists, and the planet can have as many as 2.000 people investigating it's ruins at any given time.

An arid world scoured clean by constant wind, Planet Pygar possesses a temperate atmosphere, but incredibly powerful storms. During initial surveys, individual sandstorms that lasted for several years and reached top speeds of 805 km/h were observed. Most surface probes were destroyed in a matter of hours but revealed the existence of unnatural rock formations buried beneath the sands. While the planet’s unnaturally expansive cavern systems were enticing for many parties, the inhospitable conditions on the planet’s surface made it impossible to sustain more than just a few research teams on limited budgets.

With the annexation of Planet Gran Canaria by the Crown of Bretonia, however, the Zoners that lived on Gran Canaria found their way of life threatened. Once again confronted with subjects of the rule of a House, they looked to the near Omicrons for a location where they could live as they had in Omega-49. While Pygar would not be as easy to live on as Gran Canaria, the atmosphere is breathable and so many Zoners made their way to Corfu Base with the hopes of settling down on Pygar.

The first Pioneers soon returned to Corfu, bearing news of the Planet’s vast cavern systems, stacked a hive of huge insects beneath the surface. News spread like wildfire in the Zoner community, that there was space for cities and cities already carved beneath the storms. There is a suspicion that the caverns must have been the result of alien industry in the deep past, but extensive exploration of the caverns has yet to find more than traces of interest to Xenoarcheologists. Zoner industrialists have planned extensive settlements for the caverns and have begun to construct expansive agricultural zones around residential blocks scattered throughout the cavern systems. Today, a steady stream of Zoners unwilling to bow to Bretonia’s rule is emigrating from Gran Canaria to Pygar through Corfu Base in the planet’s orbit, and tens of thousands of settlers have made it down to the colony.
