This a low technology world with technology competency below the standard for Charted Space.  This is a temperate world, with a climate of average temperatures. It is a member of Third Imperium in the Kuriishe Subsector of Dagudashaag Sector and in the Domain of Vland. Gareesh Ra, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estates of an Imperial knight and a baronet, and the fiefdom of a baron.

Mainworld Topography and Geography

Most of the planet's surface is covered with temperate woodland, through which an extensive network of rivers and lakes spread out -- most of the water is found here rather than in the few small oceans.

Native Lifeforms

Gaarian Javelineer is an interesting creature species which demonstrates a dramatic sexual dimorphism, to the extent that the two genders fill different ecological roles.

History and background

Settlements have spread out along the rivers, and much of the communications system is organized around riverboats. Despite modern power plants and materials, the design most commonly used is similar to a Mississippi paddle steamer.

The settlements are mostly agricultural in nature, but there is also a thriving bio-diversity project engaged in detailing every plant and animal species and assessing them for their usefulness. This is organized by GBC, a company wholly owned by the descendants of Professor Haran O'Hare, who was the botanist on the colony prep team originally assigned to Gareesh Ra.

Over the years GBC has grown from a small scientific endeavour to a major corporation employing many explorers, researchers and salesmen - many of their discoveries are licensed to other companies rather than exploited by GBC itself. Since 1105, GBC has begun to extend to neighbouring systems, some of which welcome their expertise but others of which regard them as unwelcome raiders. Former scouts and others capable of undertaking biological -- and more recently geological -- surveys may be able to find employment or contracts with GBC, particularly those who are capable of looking after themselves in hostile situations.

World Starport (St)

Gareesh Ra has a Class D Starport, a poor quality installation which has few of the expected amenities. There is unrefined fuel for starships and a limited variety of ship provisions. There is no shipyard of any kind, but there may be parts and technical support for doing minor services and repair. Ports of this classification generally consist of only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.
