Candory has a population between 10,000 and 10 million sophonts, lacking the industrial base to be completely self-supporting. This world contains an archaeological site with artifacts suspected to be from the now-vanished Ancients. This 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. It is a member of Third Imperium in the Five Sisters Subsector of Spinward Marches Sector and in the Domain of Deneb. 100% of the world's population is the Major Race Droyne.

Astrography & Planetology

Discovered in 802 at the same time as Andor, this world is an almost perfect copy, right down to background radiation and stellar type. The exception is that Candory is much drier, and the Droyne population is only found on the northern continent, clustered around the starport.

Native Lifeforms

Biologists investigating Candory’s flora and fauna have marked some of the local bacteria as genetically engineered, possibly to adjust the atmospheric gas mix. Some surface lifeforms share genetic sequences with the Droyne, suggesting that they, too, came from Eskayloyt; some don't. The fossil record hasn't been studied sufficiently to determine which are the native Iifeforms and which are the interlopers.

History & Background (Dossier)

Like Andor, Candory is interdicted by an Imperial Interstellar Scout Service squadron, backed up by a considerable naval presence.

World Starport (Sp)

Candory has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which includes amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

Governments

The population of Droyne on the northern continent is divided into a number of oytripin.

• Pyodu: This oytrip is expansionist and progressive, at least by Droyne standards, and trades freely with the few offworlders permitted to land. The starport is on lands leased from this oytrip; a number of interpreters speak Anglic and other offworld tongues.

• Itru: This oytrip is more neutral and conservative in its approach. It has been known to deal with aliens, but does so with caution. Those who wish to deal with them must do so through an interpreter who speaks Oynprith.

• Usayldaysk: This oytrip is hostile to outsiders, whether alien or fellow Droyne.

Languages

• Oynprith
  • Droyne Languages: Oynprith is a ceremonial and ritualistic language apparently universal among Droyne communities. Other languages are used in casual day-to-day affairs.
