Gorinites have a tough, leathery skin, turned brown by the sun's reflected rays off the planet's mighty ocean. They favor tight-fitting clothes. Typically, light blues, yellows, and white are the most common colors worn as these reflect the sunlight. The rebuilt cities have modern facilities, but retain the old flavor of their traditional architecture. | Gorinites have a tough, leathery skin, turned brown by the sun's reflected rays off the planet's mighty ocean.

In other parts of the galaxy, environmentalists tend to petition flagrant polluters. But on Gorin, the water is already polluted, so the locals don't really care what else is dumped into it. One of the larger corporations is the Gorin Aquatic Components Corp., an aquatic vehicle manufacturer. | ||
