Pakahano
Pakahano is a planet best known for being the source of the psychoactive crystal pokanate, which has turned it into an illusion-fuelled tourist hub.1
Geography
Pakahano's surface consists of the relatively small supercontinent called the Lavalands, the fertile Tarpak superocean and hundreds of tropical islands. The planet is volcanically active and orbited by two small moons, Limnay and Toquale.1
Government
Pakahano has no centralised government. Disputes are traditionally negotiated until a compromise could be reached.1
Inhabitants
Pakahano's main intelligent inhabitants are two species of plants: the peaceful floral menei who live on the coasts and islands, and the arboreal tammans, who explore the Tarpak with advanced ships and peacefully and whimsically settle uninhabited areas. Both use pokanates for a variety of purposes. The hottest inhabitable reaches of the Lavalands are home to the avian keenags.1
In recent years, AbadarCorp has spearheaded offworlders to Pakahano to seek the fortune and adventure provided by pokanates, turning the planet into a destination for tourists, scientists and corporations. Their ingenuity and greed have given rise to all kinds of festivals, resorts and laboratories, all of which disrupt the menei's and tammans' traditional lifestyle, leading to political conflicts between natives and offworlders. In addition, pokanate use has also been warming Pakahano's climate, resulting in devastating cyclones across the Tarpak that endanger both tamman fleets and menei coastal cities, and prompting the keenags to invade menei territory. The keenags have also developed a voracious appetite for pokanates and often steal them, putting them in conflict with the menei who have been mining and selling them to offworlders for generations.1
