KARPLAN
PHYSICAL
CHARACTERISTICS
Karplans
are normal looking humans with distinct racial groups. They more or
less represent racial types found in the Alliance save for the Vritians.
HABITAT
Karpla
is a planet fully capable of maintaining a human population. It's
surface is about three quarters covered with water. Karpla's axial
tilt is sufficient for seasons of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.
Karpla has one large natural satellite capable of creating tides in
it's oceans.
CULTURE
The
cultures of Karpla are varied and distinct. With no worldwide governing
body, Karpla consists of roughly 200 semi-independant nation states.
Conflicts frequently erupt over division of resources and political
boundaries. Their technology is slowly improving, but remains far
below that of the Alliance.
HISTORY
Karpla
was discovered by Captain Dagrith Karpla while on a deep space mission
into the 'Unknown Sector.' There he discovered primitive humans living
on the third planet around a G-class star. Contact was attempted,
but the inhabitants were not in a state of high civilization. It was
decided by the Alliance Council to place planet Karpla under protected
status. The Eruithairkans, an advanced xenophobic race, control the
area around the Karplan system and monitor the communication transmissions
which began emanating from the planet some 100 years ago.
Thus
far no Karplans have left their world for interstellar space, nor
have any space settlements been founded.
REPRODUCTION
Karplans
reproduce as humans do. If you need more than that, then google it.
