Horizon:
The Capital is Kreet

Horizon has 2 other major cities, and they're both major industrial cities, and have the highest amount of vehicle factories.

Horizon has few bases, but a good amount soldiers, and it has 100,000,000 soldiers on it.

Most of Horizon's forces are inside of it's many space stations.

Horizon's most popular aspect is a large volcano in the center of the continent
that seems to hold catacombs created by big snake-like rock creatures. Horizon has a single, massive
continent, surrounded by a big ocean.

EcoSyst:
Most of Horizon's vegetation is composed of towering tree-like plants, called "Steel Trees" by the ULH because of their insane resitance to being destroyed,
but despite how fragile they looked at first, they were strong enough to resist blasts from the Megafortress.
This caused most towns and bases to have to be integrated into the nature, as they had no cheap way to remove these gargantuan plants. Other
plants include human-sized predatory plants called "Pouncer Traps" that are now a well-known threat to humans and robots alike, and many have been killed, it's been suspected by
the ULH that these plants are near extinction. There are also plants that bear a strong resemblance to Earth's flowers, simply called "Neoflowers", but seem to function differently.
A plant with what appears to be the functional equivalent of eyes, "Observers", as they are called, eerily 'stare' at people, and, coming from some
reports, they are able to emit an incredibly bright flash in their own defense, which seems to blind most of the planet's creatures. Horizon also has
things similar to Earth's weeds, named "Cannibals", because they slowly consume the plant that they are closest to. There are "Blades", which are
very sharp, and grow just as quickly as grass, but, luckily, they are only permitted to grow in certain areas due to Cannibals.


Horizon has a few diseases that are easily dangerous to regular humans. One is called the "Lung 'Sploder" by the colonists, which is transmitted by liquids
fired by the Pouncer Traps, which causes the lungs to inflammate at a dangerous rate, eventually causing them to rupture, killing the person. There is no
known treatment for this disease, and some scientists believe that the virus simply acts too fast for proper treatment to be given, the only good part
about this disease is that it is not infectious, and usually dies out moments after the infected creature dies. One of the planet's infectious diseases
is the "Asylum Ticket", which is an airborne infection which causes the human psychology to go completely out of line, turning the person insane for the
duration of time that the virus stays alive.


With it's vast amount of forests, Horizon also has an awesome amount of wildlife. Most, like the forest, are dangerous to some degree, but others are
somewhat docile. One of the Predators is a huge flying reptilian creature, called "Flying Raptor", because of how similar it is to what people think
a velociraptor looks like, and they also have a pack mentality, which makes them fairly dangerous, and, were it not for the fact that they aren't intelligent
enough to unite, they would be able to put up strong resistance against ULH. Usually, in a Flying Raptor attack, the buildings are made to go into the ground while
Whale Assault Walkers are dispatched to kill the pack of beasts. Another Predator is the "Reaper", which is also Reptilian, and has two large claws
on either arm, and is fairly large, about the size of a Bird Buster Walker, and, aside from the Gargantuan, these don't really have any
Predators of their own, however, they do commonly fight the Flying Raptor, which is why their "Arm Scythes" are so long, as well as their incredible jumping
ability. The "Gargantuan", a 40-foot tall monstrosity, is Horizon's dominant predator, with a very long spine- and spear-like arm that it uses to kill it's
prey with. When these attack, even when the alert is sent, the inhabitants of the city it's targeting is almost certainly doomed. Horizon's largest herbivore
are called "Flatties" by Humans, due to their flat backs and huge size, as they are 30 feet tall and 60 feet long. The flat part of their back absorbs solar
energy for them to move and do other procedures like eating. They can also house many smaller creatures. Flatties usually sleep when there are clouds in the
sky, and due to this, they usually sleep quite a lot. A more minor herbivore is the "Tree Eater", who's jaw muscles are strong enough to grind pieces off
of Steel Trees. These creatures, if they stand up on their hindmost legs, are half as tall as a human, and have 10 legs for locomotion, along with only one
eye. Another herbivore is the "Jumper", who is the main predator of the Pouncer Trap, since he usually just bites it's "head" off and walks away, it has
4 strong legs to jump with, and it has 2 long arms, along with 3 eyes. One of the most resilient minor herbivores however, is the "Blade Muncher", who's
insides somehow are strong enough to not be torn to shreds by Blades. Horizon also has a large diversity of minor predators, like the "Eye Gouger", who's
most common targets that were humans' were the eyes. These have 6 eyes of their own, and 2 small legs for movement, as well as 6 arms for attack. However,
these creatures are very small, and most of them aren't much bigger than a dog. Another is the "Tooth Monkey", who is 1.2 times the size of a human,
and has 4 very long teeth, and they are the predator of Eye Gougers. "Rock Snakes", as they are called, aren't Predators, but are still very adept at
defending themself against threats. They are 20 feet long at max, and have made a huge array of catacombs inside of Horizon's single volcano. When tasked
with defending themself, they often constrict the smaller creatures, but they normally run from something like a Reaper or Flying Raptor. Rock Snakes are
very important to Horizon's ecosystem in that they prevent the lava from bursting out in a violent eruption that would be 20 times worse than the most
powerful volcano on Earth.

Horizon has a small diversity of Anthropoids, and though none of them compare to Thor's ridiculous Anthropoids, they are still somewhat dangerous. The most
common Anthropoids is the "Hammerant" which has a hammer-shaped head and 8 sets of pincers, and is half the size of an Eye Gouger. There are many flying Anthropoids,
like the "Megafly", which is similar to an Earth fly, but is fairly large (as long as a quarter, and as tall as a penny). There are also "Mankiller"
Anthropoids, which have 20 legs, are 1/3 the size of a person, and has 10 pincers and 20 legs. They are the predator of all of the insects on
Horizon, and they are often the predator of humans as well.

Horizon has a very large ocean surrounding it's supercontinent, but, with a large amount of small predators, the fishoids there almost always seem to devolve
themself to being tiny. The "Commonhead", which is called this due to it's abundance, has a singular eye, and is a very clumsy fishoid, often bumping into things
that most other species would often avoid with no difficulty. Most of Horizon's fishoids are predators, oddly. The Dominant fish predator is the "Jäger Fisch",
named by a German scientist who discovered it when it bit his foot off. It is 20 feet long, and 7 feet thick. They have a large
mouth, and usually swallow Commonheads whole. The "Choker" is an under-water snake-like fish that constricts it's food, but can't unhinge it's jaw like a
snake, and it has to eat food that is smaller than it. It is 10 feet long, and 3 feet thick. The "Shredder" Fish is able to rip apart any of the other fishoids,
and are almost always in swarms. They're the equivalent of piranhas, but much worse.
