Attributes[edit]

Also known as Qaammatip Inua to the Whai, Planet BQ is in fact a large habitable moon of the local gas giant Taktuk Itijuk. It is known for its wild weather and its historical affiliation with the AI mandates. After the Glitch disrupted interstellar travel, the people of the world put their star-faring ways behind them.

After the fall of the gates, the mining operations on the gas giant fell into neglect and the locals hunkered down on the largest moon.

Notable Locations[edit]

Freak Geography[edit]

The geology or geography of this world is simply freakish. Perhaps it’s composed entirely of enormous mountain ranges, or regular bands of land and sea, or the mineral structures all fragment into perfect cubes. The locals have learned to deal with it and their culture will be shaped by its requirements.

Pleasure World[edit]

This world provides delights either rare or impermissible elsewhere. Matchless local beauty, stunningly gengineered natives, a wide variety of local drugs, carnal pleasures unacceptable on other worlds, or some other rare delight is readily available here.
