Competition: Planet Landmark #2

Finished
Planet Landmark #2

With our relocation to Korus, it gives us a clean slate to world build from. As of right now, there is nothing on Korus except the Kast War Forge, and that needs to change.

Korus is a sandy desert planet, with extreme temperature swings (unbearably hot during the day and crazy cold at night) around the the equator, this area is inhospitable to MOST lifeforms.

The majority of the rest of the planet is your standard desert biome, while the poles consist of a cool desert biome that are much more hospitable to all life (flora and fauna, think Sedona, AZ).

Instructions:

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to provide ONE (1) sci fi -esque planetary landmark that can be added to the Korus Map and a small explanation behind it.

Grading:

Submissions will be graded by awesomeness, ability to develop them in or into future story lines, as well as being able to fit the theme of a barren, desert planet.

Vaporator Geo-Thermal Power Plant

The Vaporator Power Plant is a massive structure designed to benefit the infrastructure of the planet Korus. It is capable of producing power for the entire planet by absorbing and converting the atmospheric heat and energy from the planets surface. It uses this energy to fuel its massive set of Vaporators which produce a truly immense amount of water for the planet. The excess energy is funneled to other buildings and process on planet to provide power.

Phallus Erecticus

A large stone obelisk rises from the base of two large boulders. It is revered as the pride of Korus where Mandalorians gather for courtship and sock-hops and stuff. They dance, they bang, they conquer.
