Sufren (world)

Sufren (Diaspora 2004 B686973-F)

Sufren is a major industrial hub, a garden-world, and considered by many to be the jewel of the sector. It is also home to a large population (over two million) of Orcinus orca sapiens, intelligent orcas produced by an off shoot of the same Terran program that resulted in the more well-known intelligent dolphins. These huge creatures were relocated to Sufren after funding was terminated for the program on Terra. They share Sufren's seas with a population of Tursiops truncatus galactus.

Sufren features a fairly well-preserved Ancients site. However, since the Umorphutwyo (Diaspora 1816) incidents of the mid-1120s, access to the site has become difficult; Visitors must submit to background checks and personal interviews. The reason for these added precautions is not known, but rumors suggest that the Intelligence Division of Sufren's Planetary Navy has begun classified research at the site.
