This is a map of the planet Nlia, which exists in my AU Star Trek ‘New Start’ verse.

Nlia is located in the Revla System

It is the home of the Nlians who are members of the United Federation of Planets.

Nlians
The Nlians are a humanoid species native to the planet Nlia.
They are a gentle race, whose culture emphasizes sharing, cooperation and love of the environment.
Nlians are members of the United Federation of Planets and becoming increasingly common in Starfleet.
PLANET
"The desert is far from barren."
The Nlian homeworld is Nlia, an M-Class planet in the Norayis Sector of the Alpha Quadrant.
The planet has three main landmasses:
The Northern Land: A tiny island continent roughly the size of Turkey.
The Western Land: A large continent the size of Eurasia.
The Eastern Land: A large continent about the size of Asia.
Both the Western and Eastern continents are referred to collectively as the Southern Lands.
The Southern Lands are largely arid, comprised of endless deserts, towering mesas, deep canyons and arid savannahs.
In complete contrast, the Northern Land is temperate and covered with thick forests.
Much of the landscape of the Southern Lands is harsh and forbiddin

Nlia has three main landmasses:

The Northern Land: A tiny northern island continent, roughly the size of Turkey.

The Western Land: A large western continent the size of Eurasia

The Eastern Land: A large eastern continent, about the size of Asia.

The two large southern continents are collectively referred to as the Southern Lands and mostly comprise of desert with arid grasslands near the northern coasts.

The Nlians living on these continents thrived on trade and wealthy city-states developed along
caravan routes bringing goods to coastal cities from inland sources and vice versa.

The Western Land in particular was home to the Great Trade Route which supported cities in the otherwise inhospitable Dune Sea found in the center of the continent.

Trade was so important that cities that relied primarily on caravans for trade were called
‘Caravan Cities’ while those that relied on ships were called ‘Ship Cities.’

Marine trade between the Western and Eastern Lands was so great that the narrow sea between
the two continents became known as the Trade Sea.
The city of Oslamth was the largest trading port on Nlia before it became the planetary capital.

Along the northern coast of the Western Land is the Valo Hills region, which thousands of years ago was home to a variety of small Nlian communities that relied upon fishing for their survival.

Cataclysmic volcanic eruptions forced them to flee from the region, and most of them settled on
the small, green northern continent.

Although the Valo Hills would be plagued by periodic smaller eruptions that made it inhospitable for another thousand years, eventually the activity died down and new populations began to settle in the region.

The volcanic activity would make the soil in the region incredibly fertile and it would become the breadbasket of the planet, eventually being known as the ‘Fertile Land’ by the Nlians that came to resettle the region.

The Northern Land in stark contrast to the south, is covered with dense forests with rainforests in the southernmost regions.
It is called 'The Green Land.'
