Mainworld Geography and Topography

Kadgishbur is a beautiful ice-covered world. This vast expanse of frozen tundra derives a unique blue coloration from the pollen of snow lilies which grow only in the short spring. The pollen is carried upon the winds and settles across the terrain in beautiful kilometre-wide spirals.

Kadgishbur has a large supply of water underground, up to two kilometres deep in places. Every few standard years, as the planet enters its spring season, the system's primary causes minor earthquakes which cause water to seep to the surface and activate the lilies, causing a sudden burst of colour over the desert.

Native Lifeforms

Many beasts including the Laqua and Remaun come to graze on the lillies and lap up the plants' nutritious pollen. This in turn attracts the Frost Weres that slaughter the herbivores in their thousands. From this is derived the common saying "as enticing as Kadgishbur pollen and just as deadly".

Most native life forms on Kadgishbur are capable of recycling their own bodily fluids, enabling them to go without water for years.

History & Background / Dossier

World Starport (St)

Kadgishbur 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.
