The Veskarium refers to the eight-planet solar system
that the militant vesk rule. The scaly race evolved on the
planet closest to the sun, and from the beginning they easily
cowed the bands of cave-dwelling snake-people, jackal-faced
arthropods, and even
stranger creatures
there. This planet
provided rich natural
resources, an abundance
of dry land, and beasts
of war. However, its people
hungered for even more power.
Eventually, vesk took to space. They
called their home Vesk Prime and renamed
and numbered the subsequent planets farther
from the sun as they overran them. The result
is the Veskarium, a vast empire with a wide
array of subjects. This includes the stonefaced
squidfolk of Vesk-2, the antlike
beings of Vesk-5, the feline humanoid
barbarians of Vesk-6, and the pacifist
frost behemoths of Vesk-7 and Vesk-8.
Vesk rule from enormous military bases
that double as governmental headquarters
situated in key positions on each planet.
A high despot rules each planet, forming
a council that makes decisions for the
Veskarium at large. Though their laws are
autocratic, vesk see both themselves and
their society as deeply honorable. They strive
to provide their citizens with a high standard
of living, though their societal structures
are unforgiving and they inherently
view non-vesk as inferior.
