Era: Milieu 1130

Gabrael has a population between 10,000 and 10 million sophonts, lacking the industrial base to be completely self-supporting. It is a member of Wilds in the Million Subsector of Deneb Sector. 30% of the world's population is the Major Race Vargr.

Description (Planetology)

The planet is 7750km radius and 24350km circumference. It has a gravity of 0.65G. Gabrael takes 198 standard days to orbit the star and rotates once every 28 hours. The atmosphere is tainted with the local equivalent of pollen which can cause an extremely unpleasant reaction when inhaled. The average temperature is 18 degrees Celcius.

There is one moon.

History & Background (Dossier)

Lurent planetoid ships may be found (trading) in the inner system or (refuelling) in the system’s Oort clouds[2].

Gabrael’s startown is named Tsabad[3] and lies on the Gamago River and lies twenty kilometres from the starport, to which it is connected by gravitic lift rail[4]. Tsabad consists of a warehouse district, an urban core, and a corporate centre. The corporate centre includes a number of Gravitic buildings, the most notable of which is the Knaegu Ghouk[5]. The prestigious Esali College[6] is also located in the core of the town.

To the north of Tsabad (upstream on the Gamago) lies the town of Tenjann and (beyond Prisma Canyon, in the Benjacquin Highlands) is the small town of Feyr[7]. Feyr is the home of Hallin Products[8], a food processing firm, and the obscure Dreyla Standard Systems[9], a company dealing in robotics.

Culture

Gabrael is renowned for its level of social equality: Vargr are very comfortable relating with Imperial humans. Many enter professions where the two races interact. Vargr originating from Gabrael are often found on both sides of the border from the Spinward Marches to Vland.

There are a small number of Droyne working on the Planet[10], but this is not their permanent residence - this is not a Droyne world.

On Gabrael, it is considered polite to bring a gift to any prospective employer.[11]

Fauna

No native fauna of Gabrael flies. All flying creatures on the world are imports.

The Muugagen pigbird has gone feral and is now found wild on Gabrael.[12]

There has been an historic trade in Doyle’s Eel on Gabrael, but these creatures are illegal, dangerous and (probably) only being kept by limited specialist collectors.[13]

Flora

Nyflan's Fern[14] is a psionic plant that eliminates appetite in nearby creatures - thus ensuring the plant's safety - or just makes you feel happy. This is found in a number of poorer houses on Gabrael but is not native.
