Mainworld Topography and Geography

Despite being far outside the habitable zone of its sun, Goblin's Planet remains fairly temperate with only polar ice caps below freezing year round.

History & Background (Dossier)

Goblin's Planet is named for an artificial structure -- a grotesque head carved out of an entire mountain overlooking a deep canyon. Orbital scans indicate a vast cavern complex spreading from the canyon across dozens of cubic kilometers, in some places reaching the mantle below.

World Starport

None. Ships approaching the world are normally warned to depart in Anglic and Trokh from transmitters deep inside Goblin Mountain.

Population

The last recorded landing was by an IISS team in 947. They were greeted by a group of forty Humans and forty Aslan, half of them male, half female (an oddity for Aslan). These people claimed to serve "The Entity". The Entity appeared to speak through its subjects, asking the IISS crew to interdict the world. The IISS indeed placed the world under quarantine and placed an automated beacon in orbit on a return trip in 954.
