- Geography
The core of the Stroggos civilization is the capital city of Cerberon. The highly
defended complex is built into the base of an enormous crater named Crater Majoris.
Between the northern plains and the southern sea of Stroggos, Cerberon contains the major
defense, communication, and political controls for the Strogg civilization. At the
southern tip of Majoris is a second crater called Crater Minor. Crater Minor contains the
defense base complex for the city of Cerberon.
- Political Structure
The Strogg civilization is governed through a system of Warlords. Each is given strategic
locations to command and control. A single leader, called the Makron, is chosen from the
Warlords. He commands Stroggos from within the palace city located at the northern end of
Cerberon. Losing him would leave the Strogg confused and in turmoil as the Warlords battle
internally to determine a successor. This would remove any chance Stroggos has for
creating a well-organized strike or defensive position.
- Defense Systems
Guarding Stroggos is a defense system we refer to as the Big Gun. This defense system
detects and destroys any ship over a few meters in length. Also, to protect against ground
assaults, a deadly laser security grid surrounds the entire capital city.
- Energy Resources
Bluish crystals called Steedium are the source for most of the energy that powers
Stroggos. The energy gained from processing these crystals provides them with the power
run their entire civilization as well as their planetary defense weapons systems (a.k.a.
the Big Gun).
