Releasing as part of the EA2 update, the region will be the home of the Collector Leviathan, and feature tar-related Lifeforms and mechanics, such as the Tar Eel.+**Scorpius** (formerly known as **Sparse Plains**) is the code-name for a heavily unfinished region located northeast of the [Coral Gardens](Biomes#Coral Gardens). Described as the "home of the [Collector Leviathan](Collector Leviathan)," development of this region will be the main focus of the [EA2 Update](Planned Features).  -Currently, the region is in a very early state, with no resources or lifeforms present. The only recognizable feature is a trail of Cicada debris leading from the topmost area down to the deepest trench.+Currently, the region is in a very early state in-game, with virtually no resources or lifeforms present. With the EA2 Update, new [Lifeforms](Lifeforms) such as the [Tar Eel](Tar Eel) and [Descender](Descender) will be introduced.  +![Scorpius Wreck](Scorpius Wreck.png)+ +## Overview+ +### In-game+Based on the current in-game layout, Scorpius will be the largest and deepest region to date.+ +The region is divided into three code-named sections:+*   **Sargas**: An open plain.+*   **Lesath**: A series of fractured steps and trenches.+*   **Antares**: A large tar lake.+ +A trail of unfinished [Cicada](Cicada) debris can be followed from the top of Sargas, through Lesath, and down to the bottom of Antares.+ +South of Sargas is a drained reservoir that once held tar, which has since spilled out and flooded the rest of the region. Presently, this is where the [Collector Leviathan](Collector Leviathan) is located, as well as a small meeting of four [Waterslugs](Waterslug).+ +With the exception of the reservoir, the entire region is currently beyond the Early Access barrier, meaning that attempted exploration will bring with it the threat of [Shiver Leviathans](Shiver Leviathan).+ +### Future+In the future, Scorpius will be home to many more lifeforms including, and perhaps most notably, a large population of [Great Jaws](Great Jaw). The Collector Leviathan currently found at the reservoir will be moved, likely to a deeper part of the region.+ +Based on concept art and developer videos, the [Axum](Axum) will have had a strong presence in the region, including a large dam in Sargas that was made to restrict the flow of tar. The dam has seemingly since been sabotaged.+ +In addition to a wreck containing [Bullfrog Workmech](Bullfrog Workmech) fragments, the [BigSub](BigSub) itself will also be found somewhere in this region, waiting to be restored.+  ## Gallery  +### In-game ![An early tar cascade](Scorpius Tar Cascade.png) ![A trench](Scorpius Trench.png) ![A large wreck on top a tar lake](Scorpius Wreck.png)-![Fog-disabled overview of the entire region](Scorpius No Fog.png)+![Fog-disabled overview of the entire region](Scorpius No Fog.png)+ +### Concept Art+![Concept Art of a biome within the Scorpius region](Collector_Biome_concept_art.png)+ +## Trivia+*   All code-names for this region are based around the constellation [Scorpius](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scorpius), with [Sargas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theta_Scorpii), [Lesath](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upsilon_Scorpii), and [Antares](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antares) being three of its stars.
