Olack is a pre-agricultural, nonindustrial garden world.

  • As a nonindustrial world, it requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.
  • It is a garden world with a near-ideal, utopian environment conducive to most forms of sophontic life.
  • It is a pre-agricultural world with an environment suitable for large scale agricultural and livestock industries that have not yet been widely developed.
  • Its economy and population are growing and living conditions are expected to gradually rise barring outside forces.
  • It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Trasfalca Subsector of Theta Borealis Sector.
  • It orbits the isolated quintenary star.
  • This world is a "Twilight Zone World", a planet that is tidally-locked to its star. It has a hot side that permanently faces the star, a cold side that permanently faces away, and a narrow twilight zone in-between.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)[edit]

Olack is a quintenary star system.

  • It consists of two separate star systems: a quaternary system and a solitary star lying around 26,000 AU / 0.41 lightyears from the main stellar group.

Quaternary System

  • The primary is a yellow main sequence.
  • The secondary is a yellow main sequence.
  • The tertiary is a tiny white dwarf stellar remnant.
  • The quaternary is a red main sequence.

Solitary Star

  • The primary is a red main sequence named Outcast.
