Native Sophont (NIL): Thorellian

The native race of Thorell is well adapted to its near-vacuum world, although archaeologists and geologists maintain the atmosphere was thicker at one time. Thorellians are a burrowing race, built long and low, with six limbs. They can see an electromagnetic spectrum from green through microwaves.

• Many interconnecting burrows make up a city, which is synonymous with a Thorellian nation. There are at least 300 such nations plus smaller groupings and loners on the planet. Territorial disputes are common but usually nonviolent.

History & Background (Dossier)

The low population code refers to Imperial personnel, not the native sophonts, who are numerous.

World Starport (St)

Thorell has a Class D Starport, a poor quality installation which has few of the expected amenities. There is unrefined fuel for starships and a limited variety of ship provisions. There is no shipyard of any kind, but there may be parts and technical support for doing minor services and repair. Ports of this classification generally consist of only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.
