Species:
Torganas
Home-World: Torgav
Description: A race of brutal, low-intelligent warriors, living in a military dictatorship. They are also known as space pirates, mercenarys, “space-garbadgemens”, traders and tough negotiators. Ruled by a creature known as 'Credalorg', which originated in a distant galaxy. They believe everything in the universe is literally alive. They also believe that everything in the universe is trying to kill them. This grim outlook on life has led them to become very suspicious but also very resilient. It may also explain why they have no sense of humour and why they distrust all other species.
Planet Name: Mersey
Location: Delta Forager System
Description: Mersey is a cold planet orbiting at the outer edge of its star's habitable zone, but it is kept relatively warm by its atmosphere, which is mostly composed of CO2. This is a damp, boggy world, prone to excessive rain and seasonal flooding. A relatively flat surface prevents water from pooling into large oceans and instead keeps the water table high. There are a number of small seas however, which are fed by wide, shallow rivers - a product of the planet's active weather system. There are a number of settlements on the surface, but the largest population center by far is the city of Blackhill - a major center of trade. Located at the edge of Terran space, Mersey is often considered to be beyond the reach of the law; a number of illicit goods are traded here, including slaves.
