  Scarp, Ecar, Brass Monkey and Crix are all large worlds with methane/ammonia  
  atmospheres and methane slush or ice cover.  Scarp was investigated as a       
  potential source of exotic compounds, and a small station was set up          
  for research, but the idea was abandoned as too costly to extract the         
  compounds from the ocean in reasonable amounts.                               
                                                                                
  Ackit has the remains of a very old outpost of non-human manufacture.         
  The outpost itself is in horrible condition.                                  
                                                                                
  Puce is so named because of its color, the result of outgassing from the      
  world combined with gas debris from Thean.                                    
                                                                                
  Etching is an oddly marked world, so named for the fracture lines all         
  over the surface that give it a "lithographed" look.

  Ceytle is another agricultural bread basket world that exports grains adapted 
  to the dry, thin atmosphere.  The air has a high average pollen count that    
  can cause alergic reactions in offworlders but these reactions can be         
  controlled with weekly injections.  Most locals have since adapted and        
  developed an immunity to this problem.                                        
                                                                                
  Ceytle's major exports are grains and grain-related goods to Lanyard.         
  It's market for local aquaculture has dwindled with reduced contact to        
  worlds outside the polity.                                                    
                                                                                
  Ceytle has no major cities, with most of the population scattered into        
  townships on the various land masses.  The spaceport is situated on the       
  largest continent, "First-Down" and is ringed by about 20 communities         
  (known locally as the "Merchant Ring" with a total population of 56,450).     
  Each major and minor continent has it's own sub-governor who operates out of  
  the largest township cluster in that area.  This situation has tended to      
  enhance local pride and a "city-state mentality" at the expense of world      
  solidarity. (In fact, the original decision to settle in scattered townships  
  rather then in single large cities was the decision of the first governor,    
  Dr. Ceytle.  It was her desire to spread the population thin rather then      
  concentrate it and all the problems in a single area like on her homeworld.)  
  Ceytle's "obediance" to Solomani decrees waned greatly in the past decade,    
  and many land areas pretty much operated on their own while paying            
  lip service to the Solomani forces on First-Down's military station.          
                                                                                
  With the Solomani breakup, a brief period of anarchy ensued as the various    
  island states bickered over the distribution of what the Solomani left        
  behind.  This, combined with the trend of the past few years has shattered    
  what little was left of Ceytle's government into 20 separate states.  These   
  states formed along regional cultural lines, making actual laws and customs   
  fairly diverse in 1125.                                                       
                                                                                
  The period of chaos had its greatest effect on the Merchant cities, forcing   
  them to rely more on local technology then on imported solutions.
