Ubekon is a world of the Centauri Confederacy located in the Ubek System. Ubekon is one of the most populated world in the Confederacy with over 2 billion residents.

Ubekon is noted for its heavy rainy seasons and for formally producing superhuman soldiers from the DeWitt Superhuman Foundation before its funding dried up.

Geography
There are three main continents on Ubekon, the Southern Continent, Rihon, the Western Continent, Xi Sen, and the Eastern Continent, Kawaoka. Dude to Ubekon's large tropical zone, most of the planet is subject to tropical weather conditions.

Rihon




Rihon is the largest continent, and the only one of the main continents to have areas outside of the tropical zone. Rihon is home to the Kokyou-Shi, the capital of Ubekon at the time of its founding, and Shinkyou-Shi the current capital. As the only continent with a non-tropical climate, the majority of Rihon's cities are below the Tropic of Shiva, built by the settlers who preferred non-tropical climates, in particular the Russian population.

Xi Sen
Xi Sen is predominantly covered by thick forest, with very few open plains and next to no mountains. Xi Sen is where the majority of Ubekon's agriculture takes place, as well as a lumber industry specializing in bamboo, and the native plant Ubekonian sapphirewod, which is prized for its naturally dark blue wood.

Kawaoka
Kawaoka is home to the majority of the Ubekonian population, and is home to most of its industry. Kawaoka is so named for the rivers that pervade the entire continent like webs.

Because of these web-like rivers, rural Kawaokans believe spiders to be good luck. Haiyama is the most populated city on Ubekon, and home to a large number of schools and space docks, and is thus the entryway for most foreigners into the planet.

History
Ubekon was settled by a great number of races, mostly those from the Asian continent, seeking a place to preserve their heritage, apart, and yet together. During the conception of the governmental system, the Japanese population, though comparatively small, dominated due to their having the most affluence. The Japanese would continue to hold the only significant positions in the Ubekonian government until 2873, when Huyen Vuong became the first Non-Japanese Lord Regent. Vuong went on to be the first Prime Minister from Ubekon.

In the current era, there are no Ubekonians that are particularly notable, but one of Ubekon's moons, Fuyuki is home to Grand Lords Kurou Archer and Morgan Saber.

Culture
Ubekonians primarily practice a form of Christianity that has been influenced by Buddhism. As such, they are in the minority of Centauri who, instead of being Secular or “fully” Christian, practice another religion.

Ubekonians celebrate Christian holidays like the rest of the Confederacy, but in addition to this welcome an alternative new year based on the local lunar calendar, as opposed to the standardized Gregorian-based Galactic calendar. They also celebrate a festival to welcome the beginning of the rainy season.

The main sources of food in Ubekon are rice, buckwheat, various fruits and vegetables, raised livestock, and fish. During the rainy season, less meat is consumed due to the large bloom of vegetation.

Ubekonians are known for showing respect to authority, and rarely question a direct order or request from a superior. In regards to etiquette, Ubekonians are known to be very polite, but straightforward, not showing as much respect to those they dislike. Ubekonians also have a strong admiration for anyone who shows skill in a particular area, artisans and craftsmen in particular.

Life

As a world that was rich in single-celled life prior to terrforming, Ubekon produced a high degree of native plant and animal species, the majority of which are native to the forests of Xi Sen. Ubekon has the highest number of native flowering plant species out of all the Centauri worlds.
