Logros


Type: Terrestrial.
Function: Undeveloped world.
Region: Border Regions.
Trade Route: Feeder to the Long Path.
Sector: Yaeger Sector.
Strategic Location: Toward the center of the space held by the Confederation of Unaligned Worlds.
Temperature: 112% standard.
Atmosphere: Thick, with a slightly greater than average concentrations of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor.
Hydrosphere: 67% of the surface of Logros is covered in water, 98% of which has a salinity between 0%-1.1%.
Gravity: 115% standard.
Terrain: Over forty major mountain ranges, numerous large and deep rivers, as well as large lowland forest and plain regions.
Mineral Resources: Some reserves of Bittrium, Palladium, Almandine Garnet, and Gold.
Length of Day: 27 standard hours.
Length of Year: 393 local days.
Sapient Species: Logron.
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.
