Kalapis

Sector 131
Biscardis System (System 50608)
Kalapis (Grid 224): The sixth colony of the Aeronii outside the Aeron System, colonized in 7105 CE. Kalapis was one of eight worlds gifted by Temujin, Protector of the South West Empire.
The Aeron Prime city of Raeynard is the patron planet of Kalapis. As the center of Aeronii art, Raeynard exported some of its best artists to the planet and funds their art projects with generous donations.

The Kalapis capital city of Bothros is dominated by the Spire of Aequia, an organic architectural sculpture that houses the Kalapisii Museum of Art. Surrounding the base are the planetary government offices.

The Gardens of Khamorae outside Bothros showcase monumental sculptures over 34 square kilometers. The gardens are among the most popular tourist attractions in Aeronii space.

The mountaintop city of Oronaeni is noted for its small artist studios with walkways and platforms that jut out over the Valley of Faemor, also known as the Valley of Fallen Rainbows. The city is favorite of painters.

Sail City is a coastal artist colony on the Bay of Bahji. Strong winds blow into from the bay, helping to power the city. Sail City is most famous for its theater and holovid industry. Most stage and holo actors don't consider themselves as successes unless they've lived and worked at least once in the art districts of Sail City. Jaenon Avenue is the major theater district, while holovid studios are located on and around Shi-Mae Hill.


The city of Tir Kaedron Vas has lax social and legal laws. Intoxicants and gambling are legal and loosely regulated. Additionally, the city is the only place in Aeronii space where brothels feature live prostitutes rather than holobrothels or sex gynoids and androids.


The city of Phear Slaem is home to the Aeronii poetry community. Poets, spoken word artists, authors, storytellers, playwrights and lyricists all call the city home. The city is home to the Kalapisii Poetry Academy, the Aeronii School of Languages, the Authors School, and Maenonri University, which trains playwrights, screenwriters and authors. Major festivals take place weekly, focusing on the various art forms of the city. The annual Phaer Slaem Arts Festival caps the weekly events. Lasting three weeks in the mid-summer, the event showcases the best Aeronii literature, competitive poetry and spoken word performances.

Figuratively "above" the rest of Kalapis, the mountaintop city of Dorae is home to art critics, theorists, and some of the planet's senior artists. As artists in the various genres achieve mastery, they are given free apartments in the city. Those who have always rejected the critics often refuse the space even though they are maintained until the art master dies. Other artists, however, consider a room in Dorae to be a great honor and join the theorists and critics in training the next crop of artists.
