Yrocyn's continents are lightly settled in various locations. These sites tend to be centered around popular recreational activities, so it's common to find small city sprawls near huge forests, or along popular seacoasts. There are also a pair of large urban centers, Prestor and Denedin. These urban centers (not cities) are pristine, featuring unique sculpted architecture. | Yrocyn's continents are lightly settled in various locations.

The permanent population on Yrocyn consists of a melting pot of [[Caraadian]]s and aliens from throughout the sector. All of these inhabitants are employed by the Yrocyn government to support the planet's only industry: tourism. As such, all inhabitants are treated equally, with fair pay and an excellent benefits package. | ||

From [[ | Each urban center has developed species-specific districts, essentially a home away from home. And since the planet caters to multiculture recreation, employees have many outlets to unwind. From [[Naylar]] drama houses to [[Prelian]] art galleries, it's not uncommon for a tourist to experience several of these activities in a single day. | ||
'''Economy.''' Yrocyn's economy is, not surprisingly, based on its tourism. The resulting revenue goes into a single fund, where it is divided into overhead costs, wages, profits, and [[House Lanaxa|House Lanaxa's]] share. This allocation is overseen by a neutral arbiter in the employ of House Lanaxa. A council of employees determines the fate of the profit share, which is usually earmarked for introducing the newest galactic entertainment trends. | '''Economy.'''

Technically speaking, the planet Yrocyn is one point of interest after another. Among the more popular attractions is the Par'tha Arts and Sports Complex (PASC). PASC contains huge stadiums and arenas to host concerts and sporting events, including anti-gravball, shockboxing, various forms of vehicle racing, and most forms of animal racing. | ||
The urban centers are filled with restaurants, theaters, and art galleries. Recently, the addition of a few prominent museums has attracted droves of tourists. Drinking halls, casinos, and nightclubs round out the night scene. | The urban centers are filled with restaurants, theaters, and art galleries.

Orbiting Yrocyn are four distinctly unique casinos, and at any given time, at least half a dozen luxury cruisers are stationed in the atmosphere. Yrocyn has a single moon, [[Vant]], overgrown with tangled forests. This moon is maintained as a huge preserve, and all manner of nasty creatures have been imported to satisfy even the most daring of galactic hunters. Each royal house maintains an orbiting guild hall around the moon. These are places to plan expeditions, swap tales, and celebrate deep into the night, while hunting during the day. | Orbiting Yrocyn are four distinctly unique casinos, and at any given time, at least half a dozen luxury cruisers are stationed in the atmosphere.
