Nitav

Nitav is a tidally-locked planet, and is the nearest orbiting body of the red giant Faia. It is the homeworld of the Elbians, and the namesake Imperium of Nitav, as well as a previous outpost of the Titans.

Geography and Features
As a tidally-locked planet, Nitav's most significant geographical feature is the fact the side of the planet facing Faia is a sun-bleached, and largely flat, landscape- while the other side is beyond frozen. Despite tidally-locked planets generally lacking gravity or a magnetosphere, Nitav manages to have both- albeit barely enough of either to support Magdoran-like life forms.

Ordinarily, this would make the planet almost completely uninhabitable, however, Nitav has an intricate cave network deep under the surface, which houses a liveable environment, including a breathable atmosphere, tolerable- if temperamental- temperatures, and liquid water. Thanks to the lack of a significant magnetosphere, this atmosphere is at constant risk of bleeding off the planet in a matter of decades, however a combination of few surface access points into the cave network, and advanced Titan architecture have kept this manageable.

The planet is also littered with both valuable natural resource deposits, and Titan structures- the latter likely having been built in order to exploit said natural resources. The natural resources consist primarily of metal deposits, particularly heavy metals, and rare natural alloys, produced by the effects of the planet's tidal locking. The Titan structures, meanwhile, primarily appear to be manufacturing facilities of various purposes and designs, but some notable structures include a large command facility- which has since been converted into the main religious site for Shalva,- airlocks over and within the surface access tunnels, and a large structure that burrows below the planet's crust, and is believed to be responsible for ensuring the planet has tolerable gravity, though evidently not very efficiently.
