Description (Planetology)

Sharrip has a thin oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere tainted by sulfur compounds, and a chilly climate.

Sharrip is a planet with very modest mineral wealth and a complete lack of indigenous life.
The atmosphere originally consisted mostly of carbon dioxide and due to the greenhouse effect the temperatures were very high.

Sharrip population consists of the minimal support staff for the starport.
In 149 the planet is the subject of a terraforming project aimed at turning the atmosphere into a breathable one by seeding the planet with specially tailored plankton-like vegetation.
By 1047 the project was far enough ahead that an unprotected human can breathe the air - it just isn't very pleasant - and the project advanced to the next stage, that of establishing plant life on land.
