Homeworld to the Avoytari and part of the Concord of Mutual Disdain. Prior to the glitch Akiva was located in the equivalent of hex 1311. The planet was rediscovered in it's current location of hex 1718 during the Concord’s exploration of the area that would become the Zoanthi chain.
Attributes
Dominated by purple forests, white grassy plains and clear oceans Akiva is a planet teaming with life.. not all of it friendly.
Culture
The Police State of the Possessor Vanguard is the only recognised political entity on Akiva. They make all the decisions for the Avoytari people and are responsible for the organisation of society. They are headquartered in the capital city of Accorimonia. A city of meticulous planning and absolute control.
Notable Locations
Statue of the Great Possessor
The Gatiisl Nature Preserve
Babdujahrahren - The largest mountain on Akiva, where some of the most dangerous wildlife on the planet call home. As a rite of passage the Acquisitioners take a journey alone to the top of the mountain, whereupon they remove a section of the peak; about the size of a clenched fist. They then return to the capital of Akiva where they place the collected piece at the central plaza of Accorimonia where a recreation of the mountain has been created from these gathered pieces. As a result of this continued rite of passage the top of Babdujahrahren is a flat surface after centuries of this custom. The recreation in the central plaza of the capital city is several stories high after so long and so many Acquisitioners making the journey. This rite has been around as long as the city as the massive central plaza is big enough for the whole mountain to eventually be moved.
Accorimonia: The capital city of Accorimonia is organised around a central hexagonal plaza at the center of the city. On each side of this hexagonal plaza are the six main institutions that govern the Avoytari.
The Reclamation Athenaeum is a brutalistic repository containing the collection of items from other locations of beacon space. Whilst it had laid mostly dormant in the time since the Glitch the Reclamation Athenaeum has recently been the target for a massive overhaul, both organisationally and architecturally. The Possessor Vanguard have made extensive renovations to expand the building, demolishing several residential districts in the process leading to the forceful relocation of the Avoytari living there.
The Genesis Athenaeum is the local equivalent of the Reclamation Athenaeum. It is the repository of all the creations of the Avoytari on Akiva, containing relics that have existed for thousands of years. It represents a grand collection of the heights of Avoytari technological and cultural expertise. It is also the place where patents and intellectual property are dealt with. For all new inventions and copyrighted materials the original must be submitted to the Origin Athenaeum for safekeeping for the Great Possessor before it can be implemented in wider society.
The Enforcement Athenaeum is the headquarters of the Acquisitioners. It is where they are trained, headquartered and operate from. It's where criminals are judged, sentenced and in some cases serve their sentence, depending on the severity.
The Surveillance Athenaeum is the nerve centre of the vast network of Akiva's security network. It is where identification chips are issued from and where they are repaired or replaced should something happen to them. In spite of the vast size of the building very few have seen the inside of the building and the secrets held within. This is in part because, unbeknownst to the general public, the building itself is not where the surveillance network actually operates from. Instead they operate from a facility built underneath the central plaza. The official surveillance athenaeum merely serves as a labyrinthine entrance to the real facility. As each new stone is added to the moved Babdujahrahren the secrets of the surveillance state are buried further.
The Administrative Athenaeum serves as the bureaucratic heart of Akiva. In the police state of the Possessor Vanguard resources are tightly controlled and allocated. Nobody ‘owns’ property in the way the rest of the sector does and all the requests for resources to be allocated run through this Athenaeum.
The Conservation Athenaeum is much like the genesis and Reclamation Athenaeum but for living specimens. Whilst it is often considered the least critical Athenaeum it is also the largest. This is because rather than simply having a single living specimen in its collections each specimen must be kept to a healthy breeding population. As such there are entire habitat recreations within its ways to house the various flora and Fauna of Akiva and beyond. It is also considered the largest Athenaeum as while the others operate mostly in the tightly controlled urban populations of Akiva the Conservation Athenaeum operates all throughout the wild expanses of the planet; making sure the environment, the property of the Great Possessor, remains unsullied.
