Ortasaida

Ortasaida is a fictional celestial body appearing in the lore of the mobile game Arknights. It is primarily known as the homeworld of the Sarkaz race. The planet is depicted as a harsh and desolate world, characterized by its arid landscapes, volcanic activity, and a generally unforgiving environment. These conditions are often cited as contributing factors to the resilient and often combative nature of the Sarkaz people.

The specific geographical and ecological details of Ortasaida are not extensively detailed, but the overarching impression is one of struggle and survival. The planet's atmosphere and geological instability are believed to have shaped Sarkaz society and culture over millennia. While the exact timeline of their departure from Ortasaida is unclear, it is understood that a significant portion of the Sarkaz population migrated away from their homeworld, leading to their current widespread presence across Terra, the main setting of Arknights. Some Sarkaz factions, like the Reunion Movement, express a desire to return to or reclaim Ortasaida, viewing it as their ancestral home, even in its current state. The planet serves as a significant point of origin and a recurring theme in the history and motivations of the Sarkaz characters.
