Loneseda has 90% or more of its surface covered in an ocean of water. The system supports a population of fewer than 10,000 sophonts. It is a member of Third Imperium in the Rhylanor Subsector of Spinward Marches Sector and in the Domain of Deneb. Loneseda, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estate of an Imperial knight, a member of the Imperial Nobility charged with overseeing the world.
Astrography & Planetology[edit]
Loneseda is a member of the Spinward Main.
Loneseda has a normal climate and a standard oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere. Lonesta's oceans remain largely unexplored except for the areas immediately around the island Downport. A small number of uplifted dolphins are employed in surveying Lonesta's oceans.
Loneseda has 5 Gas giants of varying size in the system. The rotation often causes gravitic abnormalities that can effect skimming for fuel. This feature prevents Loneseda from being a major refueling location in the trade route. With the unexplored seas on Loneseda it is rumored that beast of the Deep seas have attacked craft during Oceanic refueling.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
A small population of Dolphins resides on this world.
World Language/s[edit]
- Anglic
- Delphinic Trinary
- This language, also known as Delphinese, involves various clicks, rasps, chirps, creaks, hoots and whistles. Due to the spread of Dolphins across Charted Space, it has evolved into a multitude of dialects. It can take a Dolphin some time to learn a new dialect; errors are often seen by both parties as humorous.
- For communication with humans and other races, most Dolphins speak ordinary, if flowery, Anglic.
- Vilani (language)
