Baal

The planet of Baal is an high-gravity jungle planet teeming with violent saurian life, similar to the dinosaurs of prehistoric Earth. Currently this planet is a major center for all the criminals and mercenaries that want make affairs away from Omega.

Colonization
Originally, the planet was discovered by a group of human colonists in search of habitable planets. At first approach it appeared to be uninhabitable. Finding Baal perpetually shrouded in dense clouds, the colonists effected landings on the planet to discover what lay below. What they discovered was one of the most lethal worlds in the galaxy, for the extreme aggressiveness of the predatory creatures that inhabit the surface and the force of the high gravity. The colonists escaped but unknowingly they left on the planet a group of Vorchas who had boarded illegally in the hold.

The Vorchas created a series of tribal societies in all the seven continents of the world and, thanks to their ability to adapt, they developed a higher muscle mass and strong resistance.

In the 2168 CE the planet was rediscovered by the Unforgiven mercenary corporation and chose it as their new headquarters and principal place of recruitment of Vorchas. Immense fortresses were built to withstand the constant attacks of the local fauna and, after a long campaign to encourage the colonization of the planet by drawing the attention of all interested parties, including adventurers and collectors of exotic pets, soon appeared real cities of mercenaries, with countless training centers, laboratories, factories and listening posts.

Fauna and flora
Baal was a world marked by a landscape of dense jungles and steamy swamps that harbored many vicious reptilian, amphibian and insectoid forms of life. The mercenaries often hunt these beasts unarmoured and weaponless as sport or initiation.
