Ci'phae was the home planet to the V'zari. It was located on the border of the Ci'daal Sector.

Description
Ci'phae was covered in tropical-looking foliage, marshes and beaches. Moss-covered canyons and cliffs filled the landscapes. White-sand deserts and ice mountains are located in the most extreme regions of the planet. With several little independent cities governed by the Houses, Ci'phae surface remained virtually intact. Sa'lom'eih, a holy city for the V'zari, have less than thirty thousand inhabitants and most of its buildings are taverns, military factories and battle arenas, not much different from the other cities. However, is possible to see the effects of the warlike culture of the V'zari in the planet, with numerous temples destined for the ancestors and sisters killed in battle.

The Houses
V'zari society is formed of several houses that govern the various fortified cities. Sa'lom'eih is the only city that does not have a domain of any house because of its religious importance to the V'zari. However, because of their warlike culture, the houses are always warring among themselves and the cities are almost always destroyed. The city of Yo'lah'wei, governed by the House of Zah, is known for being the oldest city on the planet, not because of its founding date, but because it is the only city in more than three hundred years is not totally destroyed and rebuilt. In the V'zari cities there are four buildings which are of major importance to their culture: the factories of military equipment, the battle arenas, the hall of the dead and the taverns.

The four great houses:
  • The House of Nne: Ruler of Co'run'maa
  • The House of Zah: Ruler of Yo'lah'wei
  • The House of Lia: Ruler of Te'kno'pih
  • The House of Ahi: Ruler of Ci'poo'kua

The Qe'zari
The Qe'zari, in V'zari mythology, is a living goddess who will lead the people to the C'aruh'un (The Deep Core), where they believe to be the promised land. The legend says that the Qe'zari would be able to do extraordinary things, such as levitating objects with just her gaze, that is, the Qe'zari would be a force-sensitive, something extremely rare to happen in the V'zari specie being dated only two force-sensitives over the past nine centuries. The Qe'zari is also considered the one individual recognized as sole ruler of the V'zari and the nearest parallel for a proper head-of-state, being all houses subordinated to she.

Economy
The V'zari economy can be divided into two sectors: the first is called the Civil sector (Food and domestic products) and the second is the Cultural sector (Warfare equipment, armors, weapons, tanks and navy). The Civil sector is totally substantial, they produce in the quantity they need to survive. The Cultural sector is broader, the V'zari warfare technology is very advanced but unknown to the rest of the galaxy. Then, whole Ci'phae economy moves with the negotiations made ​​between the houses and colonies.

History
For thousands of years, the planet has been the scene of bloody battles between the houses, and this did not change with the advancing of the technology. The warlike culture of the natives caused the landscapes of Ci'phae became a massive graveyard, as in the battle of D'enaa'rih, one of the largest deserts of the planet, between the House of Nne and the House of Lia, where more than 30 thousand V'zari died. Besides the horrific wars, little is known about the history of the planet and its native species, being a mystery to the galaxy and a treasure for explorers. In Ci'phae is prohibited from entering any sentient specie beyond the V'zari.
