TEXT: LONELY GALAXYTM GUIDE TO 
  CORRIVALE 
   
  Thank you for downloading the free condensed version of the Lonely 
  Galaxy traveller’s guide to the Corrivale system!  The full version can 
  be obtained for a small fee from our Gridsites in Aegis, Tendril, 
  Corrivale, and Lucullus. 
   
  Owing to Corrivale’s two asteroid belts, many ship captains will aim 
  to star-rise safely beyond the outer limits of the system.  So our review 
  of Corrivale begin from the furthest planet inwards.

  PLANETS OF THE CORRIVALE 
  SYSTEM 
   
  CHARK 
   
  • A frozen, lifeless and hostile planet.  The surface is a slushy plain 
  of frozen ammonia, water and liquid hydrogen.  
   
  • WARNING! Any ships attempting to land on Chark may be trapped 
  in the semi-frozen surface.  Four exploratory crews from various 
  Stellar Nations have been lost this way in recent years. 
   
  ALMAZ 
   
  • A small, frozen, uninhabited planet.  Of no interest. 
   
  IPHUS 
   
  • Iphus is an inhospitable planet, with only a trace atmosphere and 
  an average temperature of -170oC. 
   
  • Iphus has immense mineral resources, estimated to be worth 
  trillions of Concord dollars. 
   
  • There are currently 51 mining facilities on Iphus. 44 of these are 
  owned and run by the VOIDCORP Iphus Mining Division. 
   
  • The key facility is Iphus 1 - the primary VOIDCORP refinery and 
  management centre.  It has a population of about 20,000 
  Employees, contractors and independents. 
   
  • VOIDCORP maintains a very high level of security in Iphus 1.  
  Extended travel to Iphus I may be unadvisable to persons not 
  affiliated with VOIDCORP. 
   
  • Nonetheless, Subsector 17 of Iphus 1 is renowned as the gambling 
  capital of the outer system. 
   
  • Ship repairs can be difficult to obtain on Iphus, and docking fees 
  can be prohibitively expensive. 
   
  
  THE OUTER ASTEROID BELT 
   
  • Few and far between, there are perhaps two dozen inhabited 
  asteriods, being mined for their valuable minerals and metals.  
  Information is sketchy, but it is known that some are VOIDCORP-
  owned and some are independent. 
   
  LECTERION 
   
  • A very large gas giant planet. 
   
  • WARNING! NAVIGATION HAZARD - Lecterion has a very strong 
  magnetic field.  Any unshielded electronics may fail within close 
  orbit around Lecterion. 
   
  • Orbiting Lecterion’s 7th moon, Nike, the Galactic Concord have a 
  partially completed facility called Omega Base Station.  Patrol 
  Squadron 131 of the Concord Star Force are currently based here.  
  [See recent TransVerge News stories about CSF activity in 
  Corrivale.] 
   
  LORDAN 
   
  • Mostly unexplored, and uninhabited but for a few small research 
  stations. 
   
  • There is a legal dispute over who owns Lordan.  This may become 
  a serious political issue in Corrivale in the years ahead, owing to 
  the planet’s good potential for terraforming. 
   
  THE INNER ASTEROID BELT 
   
  • No settlements, but is mined by a large fleet of system ships.  Ore 
  pirates preying on these miners are not uncommon. 
   
  HYDROCUS 
   
  • Hydrocus has an atmosphere of corrosive fumes.  Its surface 
  consists of mud flats and oceans of sulfuric acid.  Not a nice place 
  to visit. 
   
  • Rumours abound of alien ruins and large native lifeforms on 
  Hydrocus, but no known evidence has surfaced to date... 
   
  
  GRITH 
   
  • Grith, the moon of Hydrocus, is the Corrivale system’s only Class 1 
  (habitable) world.  Its dominant climatic features are the vast 
  jungles that span the world, the land-locked seas with 100m+ tides 
  and abundant tidal regions, and the cooler, more temperate polar 
  regions. 
   
  • Grith is a HATIRE COMMUNITY colony of about 40,000 citizens.  
  Most of this population is found in Diamond Point, Grith’s major 
  settlement near the north pole. 
   
  • A large number of sesheyans also call Grith home.  How they 
  arrived on Grith is unclear, but in 2499 Concord Administrator Ari 
  Mahdra ruled that they were an independent, indigenous race 
  (and not Employees of VOIDCORP).   
   
  • The most powerful autonomous sesheyan organisation is Aanghel 
  Enterprises – known also ‘the Aanghel Empire’ for its alleged 
  involvement in piracy and unauthorised commerce in Corrivale 
  and nearby systems.  Another prominent sesheyan group is the 
  traditionalist “Devli’yan”, who are critical of the influence and 
  effect of human [Hatire] civilisation on Grith’s sesheyans. 
   
  • The Hatire Colonial Diocese has no legal authority over self-
  governing sesheyans who live outside Hatire boundaries.  The 
  independent sesheyans are governed by a Council of Tribes, but 
  much of Grith, even within Diamond Point, is lawless and violence 
  is common.  WARNING - Visitors to Diamond Point are advised to 
  avoid entering the sesheyan parts of town without sanction of the 
  local sesheyan leader. 
   
  • Despite this warning there are many fascinating places to visit on 
  Grith for the tourist or traveller.  These include the 5,000 year old 
  alien ruins of equatorial Quenaalt, the traditional sesheyan 
  township of Redknife, and the great hunting to be found in the 
  deep jungles that surround Uyellin.   
   
  • The south pole trading post and shipyard of Downunder supports 
  much of the Inner Asteroid Belt miners, and is perhaps the best 
  place to seek supplies or repairs (at a cost). 
   
  INDERON & TRICUS 
   
  
  • Highly irradiated and without atmosphere, these are both 
  uninhabitable planets of little interest.  Some Grith-based 
  companies have established mining operations on Tricus.
