Nice work, O'Glory! It's a shame that few researchers dare face the Killer talking Treeoids and the constant civil wars of my homeworld, Orrira, to give it its due..... <sigh>

Sounds like a nice place. I would like to visit it some time. But only 18 years?!?!?!? Do they put heads in jars then? What are the sports there like?

Nope... from the slime they come, and to the slime they go! No sense in letting those memories go stale in a pickle jar. As for sports, they're mainly aquatic. They play a lot of octopush, but it's a young frog's game: most of them are past it by the time they're 8 or 9. You might see a couple of grizzled 12-year-olds having a gentle game of mud tennis, but only if there's money riding on the outcome of every serve and volley.

@ Hesperus: well, voice of experience and all that... could you come up with a thousand words or so?

@Disembodied

As Isinior is home to Navy Sector Command 3 (see galactic navy oxp)
I was hoping to read also a bit about it. This because Isinor is the closest sector command to the Lave sector. It seems quite important and symbolic to me.

Is there any known history of how Isinior became a sector command. Or is this secret? 8)

Ooh... bugger. I missed that. I'll drop something in to the description. Probably something about the Navy picking up the orbital rights for a song following the banking collapse...

Right: I've updated Isinor's description to include reference to the Sector Command station. Thanks for catching that, Pagroove!

Awesome work guys, this means not only do I have to take a flight out to the Nav beacon to admire the ads, I can take a sightseeing trip around the planet as well.

When is it going to be uploaded?

@ Stromboli

Riedquat is still free but not included in the config file of famous planet a.t.m., But it should be doable but then you have to read the story of Disembodied in this tread. It's a mountatious place withs lots of galciers if I remember it correctly.

In the famous planets OXP I have Lerelace for example. Not mentioned in any story now but you can make it famous if you like. Send the texture in a large format. 1024 X 512. png. And it will be included in version 1 of the Famous planets. oxp

@THGC

The OXP needs 4 more textures. I'm gonna make Teread and Vetice and Tianve. Hopefully Stromboli wants to make Lerelace?

Riedquat was not included in the configfile but thats easily adaptable. So a release within a month could be possible.
