Atacoatzal

Atacoatzal
Atacoatzal is the confirmed center of operation of a sect of Covenant forces. It is protected by some sort of artificial moon that had made contact with the first travelers of the Rith Universe.

Climate
The Climate of Atacoatzal is a hot and humid world covered in rain-forests. However the most intriguing thing of the planet is the appearance of Petroglyphic-like lights on the planet surface, usually in forms of Serpentine creatures.

It has all four seasons, however Spring and Summer are the longest, as Winter is the shortest. Winters don't even dip the planet under tropical levels. The planet enjoys 369 days in a year.

Natives
The natives of the planet were said to be small lizard-like creatures that were uplifted by a monolith that had since been lost. The reptiles call themselves the Ghiss, and revere a Feathered Serpant god as their leader.

However this planet is the only known planet to have an Asundrian Daar'u Khan that had opened relations to those outside the influence sphere. Formally confirming that the Covenant actually exists.

Since then the Ghiss live along side a small selection of Asundri and various other Covenant races. The last day of the year, they celebrate the point in time they were annexed into the Covenant.

Immigrants
The planet is a melting pot for many races that represent the Covenant. Most of the trade takes place on a space station that was built around the planet. The Ghiss insist that anyone wishing to move to the Planet under go a 'citizenship conversion. This conversion requires the immigrant to swear fealty to the Covenant.

Visitors
The planet it self is not open to visitors in fear that the Covenant be drawn into a war. However for a rather large sum people can tour the planet with a Ghiss guide. Other then that, most visitors stay on the Mettiochixan Station.
