Lorundans speak Basic (Federation Standard, Galactispeak, whatever you want to call it), the common language of the galaxy, albeit with a peculiar twist. Lorundans have two mouths, one on each side of the long, curling neck. This produces a "stereo" effect when they speak that can be disconcerting to beings not familiar with them. Their native language fully employs this stereo effect, making it one of the most interesting sounding but difficult languages to speak. | Lorundans speak Basic (Federation Standard, Galactispeak, whatever you want to call it), the common language of the galaxy, albeit with a peculiar twist.

Lorunda, the fourth planet in the Hanali star system, is a lush, tropical world teeming with a wide variety of animal and plant life. Much of it has been tamed by the Lorundans, but there are still large regions of wide, unexplored territory. Two land masses and numerous islands of Lorunda endure in their original, undeveloped state. Even the "developed" continents appear as overgrown jungles to most other star travelers. The Lorunda climate is tropical, and many humanoid races can function on the planet, although some find the heat and humidity troubling. It is a world where technology and nature beautifully coexist, supporting an advanced and peaceful civilization overseen by the ecologically minded Lorundans. | [[Lorunda]], the fourth planet in the Hanali star system, is a lush, tropical world teeming with a wide variety of animal and plant life.

The Lorundans live in what have been described as "herds." They are actually cities that migrate about the planet's three civilized continents. Each herd is a complex technological wonder: disk shaped and several levels high, herds ride above the surface on antigrav engines, housing the Lorundans and serving as centers of commerce, industry, and culture. Developed over long millennia, herds represent a logical, elegant solution to the problem of conserving the ecological system of Lorunda while providing the Lorundans with a technological society. Herbivores, the Lorundans "graze" on the vegetation of their planet without actually setting foot on its surface, and their belief in ecological equality prohibits them from taking more than each herd���?�s needs from the soil. In practice, for each vegetable a herd consumes it plants two. | The Lorundans live in what have been described as "herds."
