Legend

this Outer Rim world is a barren, ugly world which has been known to break even the hardiest of adventurers. It is covered with fluid mud lakes, deep canyons and tall mountains. The settlers who managed to survive the mud lakes have built their towns in the mountains. This limits the location of spaceports and landing fields to the Tyma Canyon. The original settlers were miners, and their descendants continue to eke out a living from the ores they extract. Repulsorlift transportation is impossible, since the mud quickly clogs the engines. The natives have developed skimmers known as olai to traverse the mud lakes. The average day on Redcap lasts 16 standard hours, and its years takes up 212 local days.
