System: Giausar

Located in the Draco Constellation, Giausar was neglected by research astronomers and stargazers alike for quite some time. The star system was not even considered for colonization until Terran Alliance scouts discovered, quite by accident, that the third planet could support flourishing life. Though limited to the two continents of Adelaide and Deception, Giausar’s climate and gravity were almost perfect.

Giausar is a large world whose continents are a study in contrasts. Adelaide is a large continent, covering half of the planet through both hemispheres. It is lush and green, the landscape dotted with flat fertile plains, thick forests and old rolling hills. Deception, on the other hand, is not what it seems. From orbit it appears green, but that is attributed to sunlight reflecting off the green tinted soil. It is actually a desert continent, located in the southern hemisphere.

Colonized by ethnic Germans from southern regions of Germany, they named their capital New Munich, founding it on Adelaide. Because of its location on the Lyran Alliance/Free Worlds League’s border, Giausar is an important world for trade between both realms. Giausar produces petroleum and natural gas from Deception’s rich resources. From Adelaide, coal, timber and iron-ore are produced. Giausar holds Oktoberfest every year in honor of their past. Giausarians are fiercely loyal to their heritage, history and the Commonwealth.

This world is one of the few that supports dinosaur life similar to that of Terra’s distant past. These rare creatures live mostly in harmony with the human population, aside from the occasional frightening encounter and even rarer deaths.

There are no functional factories located on this planet.
