Point of Interest: Luuar Xenoculture Centre[edit]

Luuar is a world occupied and run by the IISS. The system was designated as a forward base by the Syleans to serve as contact headquarters prior to the approach and assimilation of the S'mrii and Lancians. Staffed originally with sophontologists, xenobiologists, sociologists and psychologists and other contact specialists, the base helped smooth initial relations between the two races and Cleon’s Imperium.

Now the base functions as a xenoculture specialist centre where information and research on alien races and cultures is held. For many scouts in the Contact Bureau, a spell at the site forms an important part of their training.
