Vesta

"Ha! Nobody comes to Vesta to 'enjoy the beaches' or 'feel the breeze'. They come to Vesta to enjoy and feel the ladies!"

- Malik Icharia

Vesta is a major planet located within the outer rim of the Ulteria, and home to Malik Icharia and N/A. They discovered the planet during their adventures together away from their homeworld of Xyon, and transformed Vesta into a leisure world. They created the all-female race known as the Vestene to staff the facilities on the planet, and to serve as the "entertainment" for visitors and permanent residents. While not looked upon too honorably by the Numen nor their Novus children, Vesta nevertheless offers a temporary retreat from the on-going perils of Xyon, or the ever-growing police state on Solaris.

Description
By all accounts, Vesta is considered a paradise world by both its inhabitants and visitors, and has long served as a luxury retreat for those willing and able to leave Xyon to visit the other worlds within the Ulteria. Vesta is largely covered by extensive jungles and rainforests, and has a temperate weather pattern producing gentle breezes and rare storms. The majority of the planet surface, some 80%, is covered by the world's oceans. Most of the population resides on a single continent, Tranquilla, which is the only portion of the planet with any major urban development or major cities. The capital city of Sanna is located at the center of the continent, and is home to Melik and N/A, the planet's official leaders.

Vesta is a very geologically stable planet, with few earthquakes effecting the surface, and those rare few being of low magintudes. The cities of Vesta are aesticially built so as to maximize the natural beauty of their surroundings, and avoid causing too much damage to the fragile ecosystem. There are few mountain ranges on Vesta, with only the Sumara Mountains serving to break the otherwisely gentle landscape of the surface. The wildlife on Vesta is non-hostile, all of the animals brought from zoos on Xyon, as Vesta had no intelligent or unintelligent life residing on the surfacee when it was discovered.
