The Deradune region of the planet Nexus has been granted to the Draken people as a hunting ground on the Dominion's new capitol world - Emperor Myrcalus publicly acknowledging the great debt the empire owed to the might of the fierce warrior race. A hot, dry savannah populated by dangerous predators and unusual plant life, it is a perfect place for the ferocious Draken to engage in their ancient hunting traditions. The central settlement in the region, Bloodfire Village, is ruled by Clanlord Makaza - an honored veteran of dozens of battles against Exile mercs. Though Deradune is Draken territory, it is also home to many Chua, who welcome the freedom to experiment in a dangerous environment, along with smaller numbers of Cassians and Mechari.

Bloodfire Village
The largest settlement in Deradune, Bloodfire Village is ruled by Clanlord Makaza of the Bloodfire clan. The relatively young town is growing rapidly, and with it the aging Clanlord Makaza's influence. Essentially, Bloodfire is the emerging regional capital of this large, Draken-controlled Dominion territory.

Tar Pits of Deradune
In the eastern region of Deradune called Owanee can be found the expansive and toxic Tar Pits. For reasons xenogeologists have yet to determine, swaths of this area bubble over with black, viscous tar which entraps almost anything it touches. Though scientists have been happy to discover a number of unique biological samples there, the local wildlife and hostile sapients like the Moodies have left the majority of the Tar Pits unexploited and unexplored.
