Revision as of 16:00, 23 February 2006
Lahola, the homeworld system of the South Pardus Rim, contains two inhabitable planets: Lahola I, a temperate class M planet, and Lahola II, a class D desert world. The sector also harbours a large asteroid belt and and a recluse infested with space dragons besides two smaller nebula clouds.
Lahola I is mostly known for its forests of Yoroba conifers. This evergreen tree is highly adaptive and very flexible in its growth characteristics, making it a particular favourite in pleasure gardens around the universe many of which center around a small grouping of Yoroba aranged in the ancient art of garden Origami. Once covering the greatest part of Lahola I´s land mass, the Yoroba forests are today sadly decimated by agricultural development and the only larger expanses of primordial forest are two be found on the northern and southern pole caps of the planet. Although the temperate climate of Lahola I makes the planet a pleasurable habitat for all sentient species in the known universe which lead to it´s early and continuos besettlement, the soil of the planet has shown itself apt to erosion with ongoing deforestation which has lead to the need to balance agricultural use with interspersed areas of replanted Yoroba. Due to the fact that in many places the replanted areas were designed as gardens, Lahola I is also known as Yoroba Gardens and has established itself as a favourite intergalactic tourist destination under this designation.
