Belzior

Belzior was a moon in the satellite galaxy. It was the capital and redoubt of the warlord Lothar Kass`l, who turned it into a, and the home base of the Dread Fleet.

Geography
Naturally, Belzior was a planet of diverse geography, though it was largely plains and forests. Under the control of the Dread Fleet, it slowly became an, though Lothar Kass`l kept some areas natural at the request of his wife, Arethyne. After her death, most of those last pockets were also paved over and industrialized.

History
Belzior was already a Nagai colony when Lothar Kass`l began his crusade against the. In return for the warlord's protection, the citizens of Belzior pledged their allegiance to him. Belzior's location—removed from main s, and orbiting a planet from which gas could be harvested—made it an ideal world, and Kass`l centered his operations around the planet. He increased the moons's defenses, and used his Dread Fleet to defend it against the s and his Nagai enemies.

Kass`l and his wife Arethyne built their citadel on Belzior, and Kass`l continued to add to its defenses to protect himself, his wife, and their twin sons, Broll and Veli. Credits flowed into Belzior; its main exports became high technology and weapons, especially after Kass`l had a major armory built on the moon.

When Arethyne was killed by the Tofs in 123 ABY and Kass`l's reign became increasingly dictatorial, Belzior became a symbol of Kass`l's dictatorship. Its people were well cared for and generally wealthier than most Nagai, but dissidents vanished and immigration to the fortress moon was allowed only with strict background checks. The planet became almost impossible to assail by direct attack, but tightly governed.

Defenses
Every part of Belzior's surface was protected by s, and the planet had numerous and  ground batteries. A portion of the Dread Fleet was always in orbit, including the Scythe of Rohfellor whenever Lothar Kass`l was in residence.

The vast majority of Belzior's denizens were Nagai, although a small number of proven, loyal s and were allowed to live their under Kass`l's protection.
