Loren is an agricultural, nonindustrial world still lacking adequate means to expand its economy.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

Loren is a fascinating world, an example of a highly unusual ecology at work.

  • The world has been colonized, albeit lightly by a nonhuman Imperial race originating in the Daibei sector, the Bruhre.
  • Locked with one side constantly towards its star, the world is not the classic twilight zone planet, because even the dayside temperatures under the feeble light of Prometheus are barely over freezing.
  • Twilight zone temperatures are far below the range for human comfort.

Native Lifeforms

Nonetheless, this singularly inhospitable world does support life. In the absence of an effective form of photosynthesis, the plant life of Loren relies on a chemosynthetic base; life flourishes even in some portions of the nightside, where volcanoes supply sufficient heat and a source for a variety of chemicals necessary for the world's life-processes. Higher forms of animal life also exist, in a complex food chain not entirely unlike our own, but with intriguing variations.
