Terraforming[edit]

The world was initially settled in the hope that it could be terraformed for easier access to its mineral resources.

  • When terraforming failed, the colonists moved into underground tunnels. These tunnels are wide avenues connecting vast open caverns.
  • Due to extreme electromagnetic fields, the inhabitants have developed technology that does not rely on electricity (clockwork, steam and other, older technologies).

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Walei (also known as Walgrave) is a Non-Aligned world located in the Egyrn Subsector of the Trojan Reach.

  • At over 80 million, it has the highest population in the subsector.
  • The trading cartel McClellan Factors maintains a Factor on the mainworld.
