Otherwise known as the great central desert that spans the majority of the equatorial region of Anuria, this is perhaps the best known conflict zone of the planet, as well as the largest. It gets so hot here during the height of day that no major native Anuriite settlements have remained on the strait for over one-hundred-and-twenty years, far before the commencement of the war.
The Strait is now dotted with abandoned and heavily shelled villages, scarred by massive canyons, rampart with lawless native groups raiding from small cave communities hidden in the mountain rocks, and massive clearings of dunes which are permanently blemished with the remnants of a hundred years of combat. The strait is named after Ak'Aria, the native Anuriite warlord who was executed just before the commencement of the conflict. It is said that the Strait sits upon one of the largest natural gas pockets in the Galaxy, and with many incredibly rare minerals locked within the jutting rocks.

Kol'Kida (or City of Sunlight in the native tongue) is an Anuriite city that is famous for being the closest to the great central desert strait. It was once a beautiful, elegant city that famously glittered in the powerful Anuriite sun, yet far enough from the equatorial region that it was possible for the natives to flourish there. It was once home to a vast solar array that outclassed anything previously created by the other Nations of the Galaxy. With close to 100% efficiency with it's power generation it quickly became a popular strategic locale for the warring forces involved in the conflict. Although in recent years it is little more than an urban warzone with smoke perpetually rising from the burning skyline, just enough of it's facilities are intact to make the city a point of vital strategic importance as it could provide massive energy boosts to those who were to hold the central city.

Kol'Kora (or City of Paths in the native tongue) is perhaps the largest and most well known city on Anruia, and the natives regard it at their capital. It is a sprawling metropolis built around a network of rivers, leading the a dense, tangling forest of towering buildings and long, sturdy bridges. It is nestled somewhere between the Western Sea and the mid-region between the Straits of Ak'Aria and the Arctic Northland, landing it within a perfect temperate climate that is hot within the Anuriite summers and with plenty of rainfall in the other three seasons. The city contains a wealth of functioning data centres and factories; while the latter would be of little use to nations during the conflict, the former carries a wealth of implications for those that hold specific sites within. The possibility for data uplink to space-borne forces could prove useful. Other than that, the strategic location would be a useful asset to hold.

Kol'Khen (or City of Gods in the native tongue) is the smallest, but perhaps the most sought after city on Anuria by invading forces. In short, it is the holy centre for Native operations, and while it remains in their hands, Anuriite guerrilla factions will continue to operate under the modus operandi of holy retribution. For this reason it quickly became a site of practical genocide by the forces of New Venus shortly after the conflict had begun. Some forces agreed that this was perhaps the best course of action, and others disagree with the inhumanity of the killings, calling it a war crime. It then became a site of major conflict as multiple factions piled in to forcefully show their opinions to those who would disagree. Since then, it is a continuing site of continuous killing, but those who hold the city are at the least risk of being targeted by Anuriite factions.

This vast expanse of land is located between the Arctic Northlands at the polar regions and the Sand Straits; somewhere roughly 'in the middle' as many soldiers say. This land is so erratic in geography that few large settlements have been able to grow. It is comprised of expansive alien rainforests, spiralling mountain ranges, all divided by a great network of rivers that give life to the basin. Here, beneath the jungle canopy and high above the clouds in the mountains, heavy yet covert combat operations take place daily. To hold the basin would make it incredibly difficult for enemy forces to move from one area of the planet to the other, essentially locking enemy forces in their place as they struggle to bypass the fortified jungle defences that the conquering force would put in place.

A vast wasteland of polar ice, solidified over millions of years on the great Northern continent. The Arctic Northlands are perhaps the most inhospitable place on Anuria, with blizzards and heavy snowfall being a daily occurence without fail. There is little to be said about this sprawling icescape, besides that it is here that the magnetic field of the planet is formed in such a way that it is incredibly easy for spacecraft to land additional forces here while being largely undetectable by normal means of surveillance. This land is only useful to hold for few, rather esoteric nations, but should it be utilised to it's fullest potential, it could provide a great boon to both morale and requisition.
