===Major Civil Rights Reforms and a New Path to Renewal=== | ===Major Civil Rights Reforms and a New Path to Renewal=== | ||
In early 2397, Federation Secretary of the Exterior [[Lily Ventu]] visited Ketar to help mediate talks between the Romulan/Reman refugees, represented by Tessara, and the colony's original settler population. Tensions had risen to dangerous levels between the two groups (including a raid in a Romulan district by the [[Colonial Coalition Marshals Service]] that inflamed into a near riot), but ultimately, Secretary Ventu was able to build an accord between both sides. Major legislation was passed to address inequalities and discrimination the refugees faced, and for the first time in nearly a century, the best days of Ketar lay ahead in its future and not behind in its past. | In early 2397, Federation Secretary of the Exterior [[Lily Ventu]] visited Ketar to help mediate talks between the Romulan/Reman refugees, represented by Tessara, and the colony's original settler population.

==== Centennial City<ref>[https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sb118-veritas/shLDFOOdZHs ''"The Daily Routine"''], Arral, SD 239607.01</ref> ==== | |||
A settlement first founded to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the arrival of the planet’s first colony ship. The city is built on a high plateau that overlooks a valley to the west and is shadowed by a tall mountain range to the east. A section of the city, called "Romulan Town," is populated almost entirely by Romulan refugees. The city's main hospital is the Centennial City General Hospital (CCGH).<ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/ggJvf6uXWNs/3AEbj6utDwAJ ''"Starfleet, Starfleet, Starfleet!"''], Chief Marshal Jennings, SD 239607.22</ref> | |||
===== Livernois Shipyards ===== | |||
One of the largest shipyards on the planet that employs thousands, the shipyards on the outskirts of Centennial city could be considered a settlement in it's own right. It is bustling with activity during change of shifts. The multi-level Administrative Offices of the shipyard is housed in a large building. Across from the building is '''"Welder's Diner"''', a well known burger restaurant that claims to be the "home to the Shoals' best burgers"<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-veritas/c/1Z7vGAd07T0/m/Sor3wfFbAQAJ ''"Solving Crimes is Hard Work"''], Captain Roshanara Rahman, 239607.27</ref>. It was also the location where three Starfleet officers were arrested (and subsequently cleared) after they tried to break up a fight between locals.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-veritas/c/7vV4rIvOjNg/m/vHZcWrYWBAAJ ''"Here to Stay"''], Kivas and Sajok, SD 239607.27</ref> | |||

==== Fire river of Lakosha ==== | |||
The [[Lakosha Fire River]] is a rocky formation with a lava river that comes from the mountains to enter a subterranean cave system. The place is about sixty kilometers from Centennial city to the south east. | |||
==== First Colony Forest ==== | |||
A forest located 100 kilometers from Centennial City. The ''"Rākauaraka"'' trees in the forest are mostly green with a tinge of orange, and stand over 30 metres high. From their roots grow out smaller trees around 5 metres each, on different angles to try and get their share of sunlight. A fourteen kilometer long graded path runs between "Centennial Lake" and the uphill "Chain of Streams" forest landmarks. Located along the path towards Chain of Streams is a cliff that is perfectly smooth and has a glittery purple glow.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-veritas/c/Cam4vGalNCY/m/xA5_Q66SAwAJ "Happy Trails"], LtCmdr Moonsong & Lt Ukinix, SD 239701.16></ref> The forest is home to the Ketarian Panda. They are nothing like pandas on Earth, even though they look like miniature orange versions of them. They are very shy and can be tricky to spot. Ketarian Pandas eats roots and leaves.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-veritas/c/eyUPM37N4sc/m/H9m35QLpAgAJ ''"Release the Karakkan"''], Maria Chicchoni, SD 239802.06 </ref> | |||
