Remarks

Native Lifeforms[edit]

The University of Korvell-Medurma maintains a small research team studying the unusual, rich life in the exotic ocean. Oceanic life varies from microscopic larvae of many of the resident animals, to the twenty meter, ten ton Umono. The Umono is a schooling filter feeder that congregates in herds of between twenty and fifty individuals.

The research base staff are investigating claims that one of the native life forms, the 'Ghost Fish' -- an extremely rare deep sea predator that can grow up to 300kg and over 2m in length -- is apparently capable of teleporting itself. Although a few have been found, none have been trapped long enough to tag them.

History and Background[edit]

Fossils of small organic machine-like objects found in vast collapsed chambers on Apemkir are thought to be evidence of the long-extinct "Acathii" sophonts.

World Starport (St)[edit]

Apemkir has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which features amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.
