Description (Planetology)
Chiauk’s arid surface is a true wonder when seen from space – its desert sands are streaked with a multitude of vivid colours as deposits of rare metal salts are eroded by the relentless winds. The origin of the tenuous oxygen atmosphere is a mystery, as no life has ever been detected on the world.

History & Background (Dossier)
The world’s sole starport and major population centre is built atop a mesa in the centre of the one of the few highly saline equatorial lakes. The complex of ground based and grav-supported buildings comprises the S'mrii ConSentiency PanPhylum Research Facility, a huge multidisciplinary science center conducting cutting-edge research into a wide range of endeavours. The infrastructure is devoted to serving S'mrii phylum researchers, but Human academics are able to use the facilities on a ‘first come, first served’ basis. The PPRF’s facilities for physical, biological and behavioural sciences are among the best in the entire Domain, and non-S’mrii researchers often have to wait years for the privilege of testing their theories in Chiauk’s laboratories.
Palaeotechnologists visiting Chiauk have a unique opportunity: in addition to the superior research facilities on planet, there is a significant Ancient site 500 kilometers north of the PPRF site.
The Pavement occupies almost 250 square kilometres of barren high desert. A field of ten-metre wide hexagonal columns laid out in precise interlocking geometrical pattern, the Pavement’s purpose is unknown. The passage between the columns once carried some kind of equipment, long since removed.
