Mainworld Geography and Topography[edit]
Grief is a harsh world, with extensive deserts and barren mountains. Around its few small seas are more welcoming regions where a local ecosystem merges with various imported species.
Native Lifeforms[edit]
Griefthorn is a native plant that causes problems for settlers. While it can't grow in deserts or mountains, if seeds or shoots can reach another watered region, a new infestation will develop, choking the area. The planet’s Human population are confined to one small region and tend not to spread the plants. Explorers or overly hopeful ihatei were probably responsible for the slow strangulation of Grief's ecosystem.
History and Background[edit]
Grief is an unofficial but commonly accepted name for this world.
The Human inhabitants of Grief dwell in a small downport surrounded by wrecks of starships. They claim that these ships ‘came to grief’ -- a common local play on words -- by external means, and were salvaged, but many have signs of combat damage.
Among the wrecks are some large and unusual vessels, including at least one big exploration ship and a couple of alien craft of great age and obscure origins. The largest alien wreck hasn't seen space in millennia. The human "Griefers" set up their facility after finding the wreck on what was then an obscure and unclaimed world.
