Capital City: The Logron population along the banks of
the Great Sawback river is somewhat thicker than most regions, and
Morduim field has been designated the primary interaction point
between Logron and offworlders. Other than that there is no single
governmental center, as the nobles of different villages tend to
meet at irregular schedules at varying locations, usualy prime
fishing centers or out of the way retreats.
Other Cities: Logron live in small villages, built
around rivers, that tend to move fairly often, to prevent
overfishing.
Starport: Morduim field has been built up from a
landing strip to a limited services starport by an enterprising Questran, and is relatively well maintained
for a field of that type.
Population (within +/- 1%): 15,045,321 Logron.
Government: Tribal, with a noble class making most of
the decisions.
Tech Level: High stone age, with some space age
technology having been imported.
Major Exports: Logron.
Major Imports: Technology, education.

System Capsule:
Amitel: A world of deadly heat and a total lack of
atmosphere, Amitel is of little interest.
Orbas: The high carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere of
this world traps Askag's heat, producing a ferociously hot world.
Logros: See below.
Namib: This world has some mineral reserves of interest, but
the very fine and powdery sand of the world has thus far prevented
any development of those reserves.
Ragar: A large, deep red world, Ragar dominates the night sky
and the mythology of Logros.
Planetary Capsule:
Flora and fauna: Logros is rich in life, with a thick
belt of greenery across the middle of the planet, with breaks for
the higher mountains and the larger bodies of water. Most of these
regions are either deciduous forests, with some coniferous ranges,
or, in the lowland regions, either meadowlands, marshes, or the
occasional plain region. The forests are quite varied in nature,
with grey oak relatives predominating, and with tulip tree species
almost equally common.
The forests are shaped by the large ground lemurians, some
varieties of which reach six meters in height, and other varieties
of which are considerable smaller and more agile. The deepest
forests are home to the Mammoth Kurin, a six legged hunter of
fearsome size and speed, with a very impressive rack of offensive
horns. Other predators of note include varieties of land eels,
sail raptors, and poisonous arachnids.
The numerous rivers and freshwater lakes of Logros are an
equally fecund ecosystem. The smaller, algae feeding fishes, the
blenn and muir, provide one of the bases of the ecosystem, and the
larger, bottom feeding caet are the other. These are fed upon by
a variety of larger fishes, tuny, markim, and slackjaw, as well as amphibians, such as
the grey swamplizard, and avians like the long legged Haru, and the
Nightfisher.
Sentient Species: The Logron, large amphibious
monotremes, are the only native sapient species of Logros, and the
unquestioned masters of the rivers of the world.
History: Logros has been pulled at for years by it's
two very large moons, whose gravitational influence is responsible
for it's mountainous terrain, and for it's larger than average
concentration of atmospheric water. Despite the relatively
advanced age of the planet, intelligent life has emerged on it only
recently, in the form of the Logron. Still a primitive race when
contacted by the Empire, they proved quite inventive in sabotaging
Imperial projects while remaining outwardly submissive, eventually
causing Imperial withdrawal from the world.
When Logros fell into the areas held by the Confederation of
Unaligned Worlds, it soon became incorporated into the
Confederation. Since that time, some mining and industrial
development has begun, but as the vast variety of the Logron depend
on the rivers for their food, anything that could cause damage to
the environment has been treated with the most extreme caution by
the Logron.
