Mal'Gnar El is a nonindustrial, rich, agricultural world with improving living conditions due to a bustling agro-economy.

  • As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
  • It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
  • This is a rich world with a prosperous and thriving world economy.
  • Its economy is bustling and an increase in living conditions is expected in the near future.
  • This a "forbidden" world designated as a Red Zone with an environment, laws, customs, life forms, or other conditions that make it extremely dangerous to visitors. Everyone is forbidden to travel here.
  • This is a cold world with an overall climate that is at the lower temperature range of human-congruous sophont endurance.

Mainworld Geography and Topography[edit]

With gravity only 0.51 standard, the planet has steep mountain ranges with peaks rising nearly 20 kilometers. These surround the plate boundaries of the world's newly formed supercontinent.

Lifeforms[edit]

All complex life here is transplanted. There is no fossil record prior to 300,000 years ago and recent banded iron formations were clearly produced in a near oxygen-free atmosphere.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Two sophont peoples live here, sometimes in mixed communities: the Human race known as Mal'Gnar and a subspecies of Chirper particularly adapted for flight.

Scouts from the Third Imperium contacted the Mal'Gnar in 187, and following a strong xenophobic response subsequently conducted only covert study. The IISS has maintained an interdiction patrol nearly continuously since 215; current patrols are based out of Kazar (Beyond 3001).

World Culture[edit]

Caste limitations on marriage restrict relationships to arranged unions of male-female partners at least approximately five standard years beyond puberty.
