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. World Data "Ceytle": ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Grav:0.30225 Temp:8.4 Life Year:235 Day:10 Tilt:35~ Stress:4 3 Major continents 6 Minor continents 7 islands 4 arch Rocky body Diam: 6240km Dens:0.62 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.
