Mrlsst

Mrlsst is a planet located in the Tapani Sector and homeworld to the Mrlssi. It is the only planet in the sector with an indigenous alien race. It is a moist and humid world, with terrain dominated by marshes and sandy swamps. Nearly everywhere, one can find the towering greenstalk plants that grow all over the planet, excepting the poles.

A thick asteroid field surrounds the planet, which is used for raw materials and is the location of several research stations.

Thousands of years ago, the planet's continents were unstable, resulting in frequent earthquakes and tidal waves; the natives became used to losing possessions amidst such disasters, and came to appreciate knowledge as a result. The planet had grown much more stable by the time of the Galactic Civil War, but the tradition of learning endured among the Mrlssi.

Mrlsst is the home of the famous Mrlsst Academy, the best university in the sector, and one of the best beyond the Core Worlds.
