Mainworld Data
Marhaban has a 21 standard hour day, and a 358 day year - remarkably close to Terran standard. Marhaban's axial tilt is very small, however, and seasonal variation in climate is minimal.
Mainworld Topography
Marhaban's land area consists of a single main continent and a number of archipelagoes and smaller islands in a relatively shallow sea.
Native Sophont (NIL): Bwap
Marhaban is the homeworld of the Bwaps or Newts, a minor alien species that resemble Terrestrial salamanders more than anything else. Newts are regarded as bureaucrats par excellance, and have been since the days of the Vilani Imperium.
- Traditional centre of Bwap Culture. Marhaban is the most famous single system within the Imperial Empty Quarter.
- The Bwap, by far the most widespread minor race in Charted Space are, as such, one of the most respected and revered across the stars. Several important Bwap governing agencies, including the Grand Council of Crechés, are also based on the world.
History and Background
Marhaban’s decision to swear allegiance to the Third Imperium on 208-015 carried great weight on Bwap creches across Charted Space.
