Description
The homeworld of the Ga'terans is a planet with heavy and frequent rains. About 40% of its surface mass is water. Another 30% of its surface mass is marsh or swamp and the final 30% was jungle. The swamps and seas provide most of their food supplies.
Their are only 2 major cities, one on each of the major continents. Adillee is on the largest continent and is the major port of call by off worlders. Crindoo is the other major city on the smaller continent. There are a large number of islands and many smaller communities that dot the planets surface.
The waters are rich in sea life and it forms the staple of the Ga'teran diet. They also raise various forms of reptiles for meat. Most of the people learn to swim before they can walk.
While the Ga'teran people are a race prone to violence they have learned the folly of fighting wars among themselves. They will still fight and most battles are to the death but these conflicts are controlled with only a single set of warriors or very small teams fighting.
Government
The Ga'teran people do not have a centralized form of government. In fact only the 2 main continents have any recognizable form of government. The smaller land masses and islands seem to have a communal work ethic that enables them to co-exsist and work for the common good.
The smaller continent and its city of Crindoo has a military government that protects and defends not just themselves but the planet as well. The larger continent and its city of Adillee seems to have a council made up of 7 members who between them control the policies and contact with all off worlders. While both governments are totally independant they both control and govern totally different aspects of the overall planetary policies.
Orbiting Stations
They have a large and a small shipyard in orbit. The large one is for building their new heavy cruisers. The small one is used to build their destroyer and frigate class warships.
They also have 3 large starbases, 1 is for the military, the next is a repair and military starbase and the 3rd is for commercial traffic.
Added to this are a number of cummunications, weather and defensive satalites.
Slaves
The Ga'teran's will use any race as slaves but the Jeuws were the first race to feel the iron heel of the Ga'teran war machine.
