Lampetus, the mothpeople's homeworld, is a cold and dark planet with a thick atmosphere and unique, bizarre vegetation. Gravity is very low, allowing mothpeople to fly freely despite their weak wings. Fauna is mostly comprised of insects, both small and large. The planet's surface is mostly barren, consisting of vast planes of mountainous dirt and rock in between thick, mossy jungles surrounding volcanic vents. Oceans can also be found on the surface, housing its own brand of bizarre lifeforms. In the far north and south are frigid tundras, where a majority of the oceans are located. It is in these jungles and by the oceans that moth civilizations can be found. | Lampetus, the mothpeople's homeworld, is a cold and dark planet with a thick atmosphere and unique, bizarre vegetation.

The history of the mothpeople is long, bloody, and laced with a healthy dose of ethnic superiority complexes. In the beginning, the moth breeds were strictly tribal. They often interacted with one another, though they rarely shared a village. It wasn't until the Flammantia breed (now known as Firewatch moths) began to aggressively take over the other moth tribes and place the first king into power in 1972 -- the not-so-subtly-named His Omnipotence -- that a grand majority of the mothpeople began to enter a more civilized age. Cities were built, tools became more advanced, technology was improving at a rapid pace, and art was at its peak.

In 2221, the Flammantia empire became too big for its own good. Infighting among the higher-ups, a disorganized army, and a weak ruler ultimately led to a breaking point. The lesser breeds, tired of the Flammantia empire's tyranny, began to riot in the streets. The riots lasted several months, never showing any signs of slowing down. The ceaseless chaos in the streets provided the Deathshead raiders a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity -- one that they took. | In 2221, the Flammantia empire became too big for its own good.
