Kanoxx
AKA:   Hunter's Paradise
Size D, Spherical Earth body. 2500 million mile orbit.
Main Population:   Non-civillised monsters of all kinds from most worlds,
with a main civilisation of Crocodillians ("The Lizard Folk", Dragon
Magazine issue 268)and other lizard men.
Est. Population:   500,000
Resources:   Trees, Air, Monsters
Commerce:   Safari's, Lumber & Arborial, Crocodillian Mercenaries
Military:   Medium Crocodillian Fleet
Cycle:   10 days
A jungle world, constantly at a temperature of between 40 and 60 degrees
celsius, Kanoxx is the most respected, feared, and bloodthirsty planet in
the sphere. It's large pyramids are made of almost indestructable stone, and
are dominated with relics of the ancient god Set. There are a few sparse
colonies of Iguanids and other peaceful lizardmen, including some primitive,
uncivilised groups of hurwaeti, but it's main claim to fame is it's immense
monster per square mile ratio. Hunters from across the spheres ply their
trade here. It is also a good source for lumber in the sphere, as the cheap
Crocodillian labour provides almost sweatshop prices.


Kanoxx'Ulga
AKA:   Hunter's View
Size A, Flat Earth Body.
Parent Body:   Kanoxx
Main Population:   Crocodillians, Humans
Est. Population:   50,000
Resources:   None
Commerce:   Hunting Club, Some Trade
Military:   None
Cycle:   10 days
This barren moon presents a perfect place for the home of the Ragespace
Hunter's Guild. Each standard month they provide a 500 gp prize to the best
kill (based upon hit dice), and once every six months they have a
competition with a grand prize of ten thousand gold. Entry costs 50 gold
pieces, but members of the club, whom must attend each month's hunt but only
need pay a 25 gp/year membership fee, may enter for free. All humanoids
races are represented here, excepting the Arcane and similar civillisations.


Kanoxx'Feha
AKA:   Hunter's Prize
Size E, Spherical Earth body.
Parent Body:   Kanoxx
Main Population:   Variable
Est. Population:   10,000
Resources:   None
Commerce:   Gladiatorial, Arena Combat
Military:   Variable
Cycle:   40 days
This moon is actually not much more than a few sparse villages of various
races. It is given to the current great champion of the Kanoxx hunts, a
challenge given only to those whom have won two of the six month grand
prizes, the winner decided by the greatest kill again - but this kill, and
all others accepted without penalty must be at least 5 times the hit dice of
the hunter. Once won, they are free to impose whatever taxes and laws they
wish, but must keep open the gladiatorial arena kept here, the profits going
to the organisers of the hunters - the Crocodillians of Set. Failure to
return from such a hunt without a kill of at least equal hit dice results in
execution - so many simply do not return at all.


Kanoxx'Nabuo
AKA:   Hunter's merchant
Size A, Spherical Earth Body.
Parent Body:   Kanoxx
Main Population:   Dohwar, Tinker Gnomes, Goblins
Est. Population:   5,000
Resources:   Inventions (Tinker Gnomes & Goblinoid)
Commerce:   Mercantile of all kinds, but mainly junk and weaponry
Military:   Light Dohwar Fleet
Cycle:   30 days
This even smaller moon is maintained by the Dohwar. They collect junk from
all over the sphere, bringing it here or hurling it into the Kanoxx'Blaze.
Tinker gnomes and Goblins round out the population, constantly digging
through the trash and making idiotic inventions. A tribe of wererats preys
upon the three races of small folk, and the winged pigs the Dohwar breed,
but is kept in check by the many Hunters whom come here to resupply. Prices
are high, quality is low - but it's better than anything designer by, or
more importantly for, Crocodillians.


Kanoxx'Blaze
AKA:   Hunter's Warmth
Size A, Spherical Fire Body.
Parent Body:   Kanoxx
Main Population:   Standard as normal fire bodies
Est. Population:   10,000
Resources:   Heat, Light
Commerce:   None
Military:   Simple Racial
Cycle:   24 hours
A comet trapped into Kanoxx's orbit, this is the actual cause of the intense
heat on the planet - and the fall of the once great and peaceful
civilisations eons ago, to the crocodillians. It has a beautifully long
tail, and is a unique sight among the sphere. It is used for trash
incineration by the Dohwar, leaving an occasionally oily cloud in it's wake.


LordMasterBase
AKA:   The Neogi's Hole
Size C, Spherical Earth Body. 2850 million mile orbit.
Main Population:   Umber Hulks, Neogi
Est. Population:   75,000
Resources:   Spiders
Commerce:   Spiders (sold to Drow), Slaves
Military:   Medium Neogi Coalition Fleet
Cycle:   15,000 days
A cavernous, almost dead world, this planet, long ago pelted by meteorites,
serves as a perfectly chaotic home for the spheres Neogi. They exist under a
semi-coalition, bringing them together should anyone attempt to invade or
attack one of their ships nearby, but generally they commit insane warfare
against each other. They have small "potholes" all over the sphere, but this
is generally considered their territory. Food here is in the form of
spiders, which in turn feed upon neogi and stray umber hulks, not to mention
the other natural life found in the caverns, such as bats and giant insects.
Mostly, giant spiders are bred, and sold to the Drow in the sphere,
especially those whom cannot breed their own en masse - like those upon the
House Arabani Citadel.

There is clear evidence that the Neogi's Hole was once a small world, not
unlike Kanoxx, but it was incredibly quickly destroyed and shrunk by an
intense meteor swarm, supposedly sent by the elven gods in rage against the
destruction of their world. Of course, it did not hit the Order's main
colony, so this is highly disregarded as true.
