	Remarks

Mainworld Atmosphere

Oxygen content is a little high, compensating for low pressure at sea level. High ground can be uncomfortable or even dangerous for those not acclimatised.

Mainworld Topography and Geography

Much of the land on Paradise of El is covered in forest or coarse moorland, making overland travel outside cleared areas difficult. There are also extensive grasslands at some latitudes.

Native Lifeforms

Native fauna includes the Pokoss, or 'spider-ants', omnivorous creatures that resemble insects but are biologically closer to reptiles.

History & Background

In the 900s, the Viyard Concourse underwent a period of expansion and attempted to annex various systems in the Morell Scatter. The operation wasn't a success, but in the case of Paradise of El, a small military base was set up at the Starport, and Viyard officials began to issue dictates to the government. The inhabitants of El, accustomed to being left to their own business, reacted with a vigorous but inept guerrilla campaign. Since Viyard was now finding its Trailing possessions to be an embarrassment rather than an asset, an unspoken compromise was eventually reached; a Viyard-backed government would rule the planet from its starport fortress, and the population would ignore it.

Urbanization

The inhabitants mostly dwell in small cities with surrounding towns.
