Mainworld Geography

Ki's oceans are covered by a thick crust of ice but are liquid beneath. Animals are known to dwell in the seas but a properly organized expedition to discover the nature of Ki's aquatic lifeforms has never been undertaken.

Native Lifeforms

There is native life, but on land it probably consists almost entirely of primitive plants. There is strong evidence that animal life exists.

History and background

The community on Ki is self-sufficient in food and produces industrial-grade chemicals which are sold to Likhukam (Dagudashaag 2204). Its major imports include luxuries and high-tech life support equipment.
