Lutrillia/Legends

Lutrillia was a planet in the Yarith Sector of the Outer Rim, on the Lutrillian Cross hyperlane. It was the homeworld of nearly 800 million walrus-faced Lutrillians. It was a cold, arid planet of windswept tundra with endless, remarkably level continents. Once, the planet was home to shallow seas, but they dried up over the millennia, leaving but a handful of oases. The native Lutrillians evolved a nomadic lifestyle to avoid subterranean predators, and to visit these widely dispersed water sources. This lifestyle adapted to modern technology, with over one hundred wheeled platform-cities crossing the planet at its equator, stripping the surface of food, water, and iron ore; half of the cities would be traveling eastbound and half traveling west. Many thousands of smaller vehicles transported passengers and cargo between these rolling behemoths. An important export of Lutrillia was ochroid dust; since a stalled vehicle would likely become prey to such burrowing predators as nippers and chompers, spare parts were a critical import.
