Description
Ruined landscape created by a fusion of two planets into one. One, the Raskvel and Gabilani homeworld; the other, its former neighbor, Daerinoys. The two were made to collide centuries ago in a catastrophic attempt at terraforming, from which neither managed to recover. The raskvel continue to subsist on the surface, whilst the gabilani largely live in space stations above it. Certain political and social tensions are evident between the races, though the harshness does not compare to the merged-planet's current environmental climate and terrain. One side is covered in centuries worth of trash from the local population, while the other side is composed mostly of desert and wasteland. The planet is sometimes known as "The Junkyard Planet".

Hostiles
General Strategy: Half of the enemies on Tarkus are mechanical in nature. Subjecting them to electrical attacks will cause them to become more prone to short circuit-ing. The other half are hyper-libidinous aliens who can easily be seduced and in turn try to drug and seduce the you.

- The Gabilani - A local, sex and invention-loving society, mostly housed in Tarkus's orbit.
- Gabilani Gadgeteer (Not yet implemented.)
- Gabilani Vacationers
- Sand Worms - one of the forms the Hilinara parasitic race, encountered everywhere west of the Scything Glade.
- The Sydian - Patriarchal society that live exclusively in the junkyard wastes and are known to eat machinery. Can be found in the plains, ridges and around the beach areas.
- Lapinara - Non-native, sapient, rabbit-like race that come in several sexes and variations. Usually located roaming the plains and ridges.
- Lapinara Parasitic Female (No more since v0.8.004 For return they back use built in cheat in the cheat menu)
- Gray Goo - Fluid-absorbing creatures scattered about the wastes.
- Sex Bot - Pleasure robots produced by a factory located in the ridges. Can be encountered in the ridges and glades.
Godsend items
- Dong Designer - Can be found (only once) in the Iron ridges, at the metal ravine.
- Horse Cock - This oddly-detached penis has been crafted to look like a perfect representation of equine virility.
Trivia
Tarkus is named after the song and album of the same name by the band Emerson, Lake, and Palmer.
