History
Originally, the native species of Xia, the Vortixx, produced all kinds of wares in their smoke-belching factories, but under the rule of Barraki Pridak, the island was mostly converted into one giant factory for weapons and armament – and stuck to its new trade, even after the League of Six Kingdoms was long gone.
Landscape
As one of the most industrialized places in the universe, Xia even rivals modern Metru Nui in terms of technological prowess and economic significance. The most important rule on Xia is to profit, and the only real crime is to fail to do so. Xia’s titanic factories are heavily automated in many places, but the process of manufacturing still requires the hands of many Matoran, who the Vortixx consider to be natural workers.
The most notable – and the most dangerous – landmark on Xia is simply known as The Mountain, a living rock famous for consuming any who get too close.
Society
The native Vortixx species lives in a strict hierarchy based on gender: males are considered naturally inferior, and are barred from holding positions of status. While the economic ties of Xia extend far and wide, few outsiders ever see many of its inhabitants, aside from high-ranking female Vortixx on business trips.
