Legend

this planet, the homeworld of the Alain people, was once a world of pristine beauty. Much of its surface was covered with silvery snow and ice, but a rich and diverse ecology sprang up. The Alain themselves were known for their survival skills, which were required to maintain their society in the face of near-perpetual winters. However, as the Alain became more technologically advanced, they found that the pollution and toxic waste of their factories was destroying the planet. Rather than adapt their factories to produce less waste, the Alain decided to adapt to the changing climate instead. As a result, Von-Alai's environment quickly became over-polluted. The natural plantlife died out, and the white snows were replaced by gray rain that was tainted by chemical toxins.
