Planet Zar: Nexus

The Refugium is a massive space station dedicated to the conservation of rare and endangered bonding species. It facilitates finding candidates for clutches, granting would-be parents the security their offspring will find bondmates more readily than waiting for happenstance on distant homeworlds. Always expanding, the Refugium's many biodome decks are suitable for sustained existence on the station itself, boasting massive, cavernous holds that permit flight for winged species, and deep diving oceanic centers for swimmers.

Dry and hot, with some savanna-like sections receiving occasional rainfall that turns the grassy areas to temporary floodplains. The other portions extend into true desert, with rolling dunes and craggy pseudo-canyons.

Consisting of ever-flowing freshwater and estuary, pocketed with islands of land for amphibious residents.

The coldest weather, snow and ice from the open tundra to the border of small mountains.

The largest biodome deck, with walls built to withstand great pressure. Consists mostly of an underwater environment, with a smaller section of rocky beaches for amphibious residents.

CEntirely built "beneath ground" as a series of tunnels branching into giant underground cavern systems.

Cold climate coniferous forests with little precipitation. A few scattered areas of rocky, lichen-filled flats, but mostly dense evergreen woodlands.

Flat expanses of green fields and tall grass that transition into seasonal forests, filled with deciduous trees and a rich variety of flora.

Dense canopies of vegetation kept hot and wet, with constant artificial rainfall. Easy to get lost in without a guide.

Both flat, open areas of marshland, thick with vegetation, and deeper sections of tree-tense swampland.
