Description

Selu IV is a Standard Garden world within the Darradine Rim. It was recently discovered (10 years ago) orbiting an G type star well “below” the main ecliptic of the disk. It appears to have been occupied for over 2000 years, but there is little from the first colonists as they appear to have sought a primitive lifestyle.

The planetary population is composed of xenomorphs that appear to be adapted from xenotypes from Yoosa and the Talis-Qualis. While the goal appears to have been to remain low tech, the people of Selu have started down the path into industrialization, increasing the body count of their wars.

The local cultures are not ready for the Commonality, and the world has been placed under quarantine. This has not stopped smugglers selling primitive artifacts from the planet.

Climate and Ecology

Selu has a temperate climate and stable geology. Its great forests are in danger of destruction from the growing industry and war machines on the planet, and smog is becoming an issue in large cities. The oceans are not yet under threat by the growing technology of the population.

Culture

The population of Selu have quasi-animistic beliefs, clearly based on a pre-autumn culture from old Earth. Often, these beings take the form of pure versions of the xenomorphs themselves. There are no animals imported from Earth to match any xenomorph form, which appears important for their social and spiritual systems.

The various nations have different forms of government, from dictatorships to representative forms. Among the great powers, limited monarchy is the norm.
