User:144-Patient Appelant/Kalaku

Kalaku is an average-sized terrestrial planet located 30 lightyears from Dosaic. Kalaku was never discovered by the Covenant and was accidently discovered by the Jiralhanae Empire. Kalaku has grown to become an important world of the JE as it is the homeworld of the Sharquoi.

Description
Kalaku is slightly smaller than Mars. It's long history of war has left it's surface scarred while it's mining past has left it's inside nearly completely hollow of resources. Lately, it has been the victim of meteor showers which have brought metal to the planet but often at the cost of great deals of life. Massive earthquakes have caused the planet to crumble and eventually, within another 500 years, the planet will be nothing more than an inclusion into it's home system's asteroid belt.

Importance
In it's initial discovery, Kalaku was important because of the inhabitants but ever since the Jiralhanae began migrating the Sharquoi from the planet, it is barely necessary. The Jiralhanae have been taking asteroids from Kalaku for their metal but other than that, it's nearly worthless. There has been an increase in combat training on Kalaku, however.
