Mainworld Topography and Geography[edit]

The sea levels of O'Keefe rose several meters in the past and are slowly receding, leaving behind thousands of square kilometers of stagnant, muddy, worm-ridden bog land.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

O'Keefe is named after the Solomani explorer who first discovered it, but millennia of linguistic drift has led to the mangled pronunciation 'Ochkeefee'.

Urbanization[edit]

Structures are built on tall stilts and the natives navigate the many shallow streams on flat-bottomed boats and rafts. The planet supports few large settlements, and the largest is Stiltown, surrounding the small spaceport.

Economy[edit]

O'Keefe produces some useful fungi and a sweet-smelling moss used in luxury cosmetics. These items are gathered by the poor inhabitants and dried in long smokehouses before being sold through Stiltown.

  • The chief threat to both this industry and the fensmen are the worms of O'Keefe, which grow up to six meters long and sometimes attack humans.
