Htalrea is a rich, agricultural, nonindustrial garden world with a near-ideal, utopian environment conducive to most sophonts and high-grade living conditions due to a bustling economy.
- As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
- It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
- This is a rich world with a prosperous and thriving world economy.
- Its economy and population are rapidly growing and living conditions are expected to quickly rise barring outside forces.
- It is a Non-Aligned Aslan-dominated State located in the Ea Subsector of the Reaver's Deep Sector.
- It is the homeworld of the Polyphemes, a sophont species and a minor race.

Native Sophont: Polypheme
Only the most basic information is known concerning Htalrea, as the Aslan merchants trading here have been careful to guard their historical monopoly. Very old records of surveys indicate that the natives species is to be found on the North Continent.
History & Background (Dossier)
Htalrea is the home of the Polyphemes, a minor race, and the Risth, a 200kg pouncer, prized for its scent glands that is the source of risthscent.
- In 1109, Caledon Ventures made contact with and opened up trade with the native Polyphemes.
- In 1113 they set up a permanent trade base, in an effort to break the monopoly of the Aslan corporation Tlasayerlahel on risthscent.
- Contact was lost with the base in 1114 when Tlasayerlahel retaliated and destroyed it. This appears to be a prelude to further operations against Caledon Ventures, which has in recent years has encroached upon Tlasayerlahel domination of Ea subsector.
World Starport (Sp)
Htalrea has a Class E Starport, a frontier quality installation with few 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 a downport.
