Mainworld Topography and Geography
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)
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
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
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.
