Selenar: Planet Overview

This one lacks an image yet.

Selenar was first visited by humanity in 2470, and is in the Norinay System.  It is the native planet of the Kites, a sentient non-human species.  Their species has a culture with a large emphasis on etiquette and community roles.  They are a humanoid biped with large folds of skin under their arms which allow them to glide.  They also have one large hollow bone ridge on top of the skull(male), or three shallower ridges(female).  Nanite technology was first used by the Kites before the appearance of humans(approx. 2350T.E.), and they excel at laser and optics technology.  They are also excellent glass-blowers, and have a rich history of art.

The planet is comprised of two large continents, each covered almost entirely by arid deserts and badlands.  The coast-lines however are lush coastal jungles for anywhere from 200 miles to 300 miles.  Plains extend for 500 miles beyond that, and the rest is the deserts and badlands. Some of the major exports are exotic fruits, glass, fish, and laser and optics technologies.  The top fields of study are astronomy, art, nanite-tech, and physics.

The capital city of Selenar is Ankus, a bustling coastal trade city.  It is a long standing Kite city, differing from the many Averies found further inland.  Many of the buildings are very old, still made from mud-bricks, but there is also a lot of expansion done in a more modern architectural style.  Further down the coast the city of Dreblin can be found, with one of the top Nanite-Tech universities in the cluster.
