The [[Caraadian]]s that settled Kumauri thousands of years ago brought with them many species native to their original homeworld. These species out-competed the native populations (especially the flora) and invaded every available niche. Today, none of the native species remain, giving the planet a unique, if very unoriginal ecosystem. | The [[Caraadian]]s that settled Kumauri thousands of years ago brought with them many species native to their original homeworld.

Kumauri's capital is Melaana. Melaana is situated in a huge canyon - the ancient remains of an ocean's basin. Due to a lack of raw materials, Melaana was originally settled in the canyon walls, surrounding agricultural fields on the basin's floor. This area is now referred to as the Old City and its caverns extend deep into the surface of the planet. These subterranean passages support an active local fringe element. New Melaana has been erected in the past few centuries on the basin floor. This younger city consists of impressive skyscrapers and other structures modeled after the architecture on [[Valcaria]]. | Kumauri's capital is [[Melaana]].

Kumauri's other cities are situated in similar canyon basins. They are connected via dry riverbed canyons that meander about the planet's surface. These canyons are used as a highway system for ground and air vehicles. | Kumauri's other cities are situated in similar canyon basins.
