Mainworld Data[edit]

Tiffany is a lush garden world teeming with native life.

Mainworld Topography and Geography[edit]

The planet is primarily a water world with millions of tiny island archipelagos teeming with native flora.

Native Lifeforms[edit]

Most of the animal life is aquatic, though a wide variety of flying insects abound. Due to the metallic taint in the air, few Humans are comfortable for any length of time without a filter mask.

Tiffany has been colonized by Hamaran who are unaffected by the taint. The planet currently export over 200 different types of fruit, still in wide demand despite their slight metallic tang.

History and Background[edit]

Set up in the early 200s, the planet has a small but stable population. Most islands house a single family unit, often living in the forest tops and communicating with other families via communicators.

World Starport (St)[edit]

Tiffany 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.
