Tarmac (World Soul)

Tarmac was a world soul located in the Southern Fringe System. The single moon orbiting Tarmac was a lush and diverse world inhabited by a sentient species of near-humans with lavender, sage, or terracotta colored skin. The moon people developed advanced technology and hyper-developed in isolation from the rest of the galaxy, as they were the only sentient species present in the solar system. The world soul was a generous leader to her people, using her magic to rapidly regrow vegetation, cure famine, and diversify the landscape beyond the scope of any other known moon or planet. Tarmac was obsessed with finding unison in technological advancement, social progress, and art. The people living on the moon often referred to their leader as "The Artist," and worshiped her. During the human expansion era, Bulvic explorers discovered Tarmac and wiped out 99% of the population. The survivors were taken off the planet and brought to the desert world of Pelia. No survivors were willing to cooperate with the humans and share their technological triumphs at this point, and they remained enslaved on Pelia for decades. After the genocide on Tarmac, the world soul died from grief, in her dying moment she wept tears into space, reaching the nearby gas giant, Eecc. Ever since, Eecc has been a frozen wasteland, filled with geysers of the former gas giant bubbling up on the surface, and a thick atmosphere of dangerous chemicals.
