Damasica (Neo Kohana)

Damasica or Neo Kohana as the Yamatai Star Empire named it, is located about 7 light-years from the Yamatai system and the same distance from Nepleslia. It is located in sector grid 1414 (the same sector as Nepleslia and Yamatai). It is the new homeworld of the Kohanian species.

It has starbases, eight frigates and several fighter squadrons to prevent pirates, poachers and wayward moons from threatening the Kohanians. If heavy support is required, 1st and 2nd fleets are stationed next door at Nepleslia.

This planet was formerly called Damasica (or Damascus) and was the origin of Nepleslian space faring civilization.

Damasica was a colorful world with teal deserts, many exotic plants, ruins, and a thriving civilization. Damasican colonists founded Democratic Imperium of Nepleslia and built a large number of early starships.

Its surface, unfortunately, was destroyed in YE 23 by the Elysian Celestial Navy during the Fourth Elysian War by Elysians under the command of Nariel Jehenniel. Over 10 billion people died. For the next 4 years, the planet would remain as an untouched grave site.

After the destruction of the original Kohana (Fenyar) star system (now the Kohana Cloud) by a supernova in YE 27, the YSS Nozomi created a virtual representation of the original Kohana and used it to terraform the planet for habitation by the displaced Kohanians. It was originally a part of the Yamatai Star Empire, but was given its independence and status as a low-technology world as Yamatai hoped they would develop a new civilization like the original one. However, the Democratic Imperium of Nepleslia promptly annexed the system as part of its territory. Nepleslia does not interfere with the locals.
