Fugra
Fugra is a sector of the Beta Targos System's outermost belt system, the Iragas Belt.
Fugra is best known for a special energy collecting organism, and for containing a measure of gold ore inside the asteroids, which are excellent for decoration. Some people have used this gold to decorate their bodies and perhaps some purposed organisms such as bioships. Unique species also inhabit the Fugra sector, including unique producers that grow large structures designed to harvest as much sunlight as possible by always directly facing the sun. These can sometimes grow large enough to rotate the asteroid they are planted to, making one side face the sun constantly and plunging the opposite side into an eternal night which is sometimes lifeless and always very cold. Some animals, purposed organisms and Harkas might use it as a hiding place from predators.
Although many species inhabiting Fugra eat this producer, it can grow back relatively quickly because of the surface area making a large amount of contact with the sun. Some groups have even converted the producers into a purposed organism for farming, which is how much of the Outerworldian civilization gains energy. Some farms have been placed in an orbit that is perpendicular to that of the asteroid belt in order to harvest energy without being blocked by the Innerworlds or Midworlds, but as these farms have drifted very far from the belt, most of them have bee left unmaintained and grew into their own ecosystems. The civilization would eat a lot of material from these farms as they passed the belt about once every few hundred years. These farms often passed Fugra because all sides continue to orbit during this time. Sometimes imprecise calculations can result in the farms drifting past other nations near Fugra, giving those nations a lot of food periodically and allowing them to harvest this powerful energy producer for themselves. Over time, it spread al over the belt to be used by virtually all outerworld nations in farms. This inspired some other nations within the midworlds and even innerworlds to create a purposed organism that could rely on symbiosis with it for virtually unlimited energy. The purposed organism gets food and the producer gets protection and a medium to reproduce on.
This made Fugra somewhat famous around the star system, particularly those in space. Some nations even attacked Fugra for this organism in order to recover its genome during very 'low tech' eras of harkas civlization. Many of these attacks were successful, but the sheer energy allowed the Fugra nation to recover each time. Thus it is quite evident how quickly this producer organism spread through the star system.
The gold trimmed bioships also became a symbol of fear among many other nations. These were elite ships that have earned gold markings as a way to honor their selflessness and dedication to their country, in a similar manner as an award. As such these ships were very experienced and have defeated enemies stronger than themselves. This can also make them a target so they are more carefully deployed...
