[edit] History
Bara Magna existed long before the creation of Mata Nui as a part of a bigger planet, Spherus Magna, when it harbored an advanced civilization of Agori tribes, led by Element Lords. The planet predated the existence of the Matoran Universe, whose Matoran and Toa inhabitants were designed by the Great Beings using the inhabitants of Bara Magna as inspiration.
However, Spherus Magna was struck by a world-wide disaster that split the planet into several parts, one of them, a desert, became Bara Magna, and two smaller pieces became moons for Bara Magna.
The advanced civilization of Bara Magna was reduced to ruins scavenged by Agori such as Tarduk and Berix, and the Agori were forced to use these ruins as they were unable to manufacture new technology and thus became less advanced. From then on, the Agori and Glatorian of the Sand Tribe regressed into beasts of savagery.
[edit] Society & Inhabitants
Bara Magna was inhabited by several sapient species including the Agori, the Glatorian, the Skrall, the Bone Hunters, the Zesk, and the Vorox. Bara Magna was also inhabited by dangerous creatures, typically living in desert regions, and other animals used as transports, including the Sand Stalkers and Rock Steeds.
After the Shattering, some warriors, including Certavus, Tarix and Ackar, came up with and developed a new system. To prevent a new war, two Glatorian, each one representing one tribe, would fight in an arena when there was a conflict. The winner's tribe would get the resource, area, or whatever the conflict concerned, while the loser's tribe would get nothing.
[edit] Topography & Location
Bara Magna was located somewhere in the BIONICLE Solar System.
Bara Magna had a river after the disaster (and more than one before it), but never had any oceans. The vast majority of the planet's surface was a large desert, save for a few scattered locations with different climates. There were six cities on Bara Magna, all inhabited by Agori. Notable plants were the Thornax, hard, spiky fruit, which grew in the deserts. Glatorian used these as amunition in arena matches. Teridax did not consider conquering Bara Magna, since it had relatively little worth conquering.
