1. The Himalayas:
The towering peaks of the Himalayas, once a symbol of nature's majestic beauty, have now been reshaped into the heart of Earth's new governmental center. The mountains, which once stood as barriers against the elements, have been carved into towering skyscrapers and vast administrative complexes. Mount Everest, the tallest of them all, has been hollowed out and transformed into the central base of operations for the Galactic Order. It serves as the headquarters for the Order's Earth Division, a sprawling metropolis of steel, glass, and advanced technology, now called The Earth Capital.
The once-pristine snowcaps have melted away, replaced with colossal observation platforms, vast interconnected cities, and hovering fortresses, as the mountain range is now a nexus for military, political, and technological developments. It is here that the most powerful figures of the Galactic Order reside and make decisions that shape the future of Earth and its resources.
Where once pilgrims trekked to the summit of Everest in search of enlightenment, now soldiers, diplomats, and corporate magnates crowd the base of the mountains. The capital is divided into sectors, each dedicated to different aspects of planetary management—military, scientific, and industrial. Towering structures cast shadows across the land, their holographic advertisements and government slogans filling the sky.
2. The Great Lakes:
The Great Lakes, once a freshwater paradise, have now been reduced to a shadow of their former selves. Most of the lakes have dried up, their once-thriving ecosystems now silenced. Only Lake Superior, now renamed Aravin, remains, but even it is far from the serene body of water it once was. Aravin has become a site of experimentation, where the Galactic Order conducts tests on bio-engineered aquatic lifeforms designed to survive in altered environments.
The resort town that has sprung up around the lake attracts wealthy tourists from all corners of the galaxy, offering a strange mix of luxury and scientific curiosity. Visitors come to witness the monstrous water creatures bred by the Order, such as genetically altered leviathans that have been engineered for combat and showmanship. The lake's shores are lined with sleek, futuristic resorts, but beneath the surface, the murky waters are full of dangerous creations—proof of the Order's disregard for nature's balance.
The other Great Lakes have been flattened and filled in, their water sources diverted or consumed by the Order's vast underground resource extraction facilities. The once-rich soil and forests that surrounded these lakes are now barren plains, their land repurposed for industrial use.
3. The Andes:
The Andes Mountains, once a natural boundary between the coasts of South America, have been re-engineered into the Fyan Mining Section. The mountains have been stripped of their natural beauty, and their rich mineral deposits are now being extracted by massive industrial operations. Enormous mining machines crawl over the mountain ranges, and once-pristine glaciers have melted into vast artificial lakes used for the mining operations' cooling systems.
The mining operations have left deep scars on the landscape—once towering peaks have been hollowed out to make way for colossal underground facilities where precious minerals are extracted for the Galactic Order's war machines and construction projects. The region is now one of the most dangerous places on Earth, with volatile weather conditions and constant tremors caused by the deep excavations.
The land is divided into sectors, with automated facilities and high-tech mining rigs working tirelessly around the clock. While the surface is filled with industrial wreckage, subterranean tunnels have been carved out to access the deepest veins of the planet's resources. The Fyan Mining Section is a place of grinding labor, the workers often being slaves or indentured servants, forced into dangerous conditions to keep the mining machines running.
4. Antarctica:
The frozen expanse of Antarctica, once a landmass covered in endless ice and snow, has undergone a terrifying transformation. All the ice has melted away, revealing a barren landmass beneath. The Antarctic ice shelf, once a critical part of Earth's natural systems, is now but a memory. In its place is a massive military testing and research facility where the Galactic Order conducts dangerous experiments in weaponry, climate manipulation, and bioengineering.
The vast, frozen tundra has been replaced with sprawling industrial complexes and high-security zones, where soldiers and scientists conduct experiments on alien technology and warfare strategies. Some of the most terrifying bio-engineered creatures are kept here—genetically altered beasts bred for combat, awaiting deployment in the Order's interstellar conflicts.
The land is a desolate, wind-swept wasteland, with little more than mechanical structures and testing grounds scattered across its surface. What was once a remote and untouched land is now a fortress dedicated to serving the Order's military goals.
5. Australia:
Australia, once a land of wide, open spaces, vibrant cities, and unique wildlife, has been all but erased from the map. The vast majority of the continent has been razed to the ground, leaving behind a volcanic hellscape where active lava flows and smoldering craters dominate the landscape. The Order used advanced terraforming techniques to transform the continent into a vast, unstable environment that serves as a testing ground for extreme weaponry and geological experiments.
Where the Great Barrier Reef once flourished, there is now nothing but barren rock and ash. The once-pristine beaches are now engulfed by fiery pits of molten lava, and the outback, once home to kangaroos and koalas, is now a wasteland of smoke and destruction.
The few survivors of Australia's destruction live in underground bunkers or within the few remaining domed cities, where they are forced to work as miners and laborers, extracting precious minerals from the volcanic soils for the Galactic Order.
6. Tasmania:
Once an isolated, serene island, Tasmania has become the prison for the Order's enemies and dissidents. Entire regions of the island have been repurposed as high-security facilities, where those who defy the Galactic Order are sent to face harsh imprisonment, forced labor, or worse. The island has been surrounded by towering walls and military installations, ensuring that no one escapes.
Within these walls, the prisoners face constant surveillance and punishment, working on projects designed to support the Order's plans for galactic domination. There are no trees, no forests—only concrete and iron, shaped into a labyrinthine prison complex.
7. The Gobi Desert:
The Gobi Desert, though relatively unchanged in its landscape, has become a hub for alien species and new ecosystems. The once barren, dry plains have seen the arrival of creatures from far-off planets, brought by the Galactic Order for research and integration into the planet's terraformed environments. These alien species, many of them predators or territorial in nature, roam freely in the vast desert expanses, while new mountains and landmasses have formed as a result of the planet's altered geological processes.
The desert is now teeming with alien flora and fauna, their presence altering the very nature of the region. What was once a vast stretch of empty space is now a volatile environment filled with dangers, both natural and engineered. The Galactic Order has created new cities and outposts here, studying the interactions between Earth's native species and the newly introduced alien lifeforms.
