Nandia orbits an F type star, but at the outside edge of the habitable zone. It’s cold here, gravity is 1.5Gs, and the people that live here are shorter, stockier than normal, average height is 4.5 feet. (Aspect: Heavy Worlder).

The collapse of the Terran Sphere severely affected this world and it’s people. No one knows how many times Nandia crashed and rose over the intervening years. This last cycle saw them rise from the ashes, swearing to fight no more, raising their children to be total pacifists. (Aspect: Pacifist) This worked until the outside world contacted them. Now, some of their children are learning the old ways, much to the horror of their elders. 

Nandia was on the crest of its last cycle when the slipknot opened and the ships from Graceland arrived. The easy going Gracelanders have done more to upset their society, with their demon Rock and Roll and superior technology. The Nandians can’t believe that such people could be more advanced than they are. 

Trade with Nandia is difficult. Specialized interface craft are needed to reach escape velocity from the planet’s surface, exposing non-Nandians to 4.5Gs to 5Gs of acceleration. There is an orbital port, Angel Port that is run by a mix of Nandians and Gracelanders. There are two levels to the rotating portion of the station: one at 1G and one at 1.5G. 

The Nandians are investing in interface craft from the Crimson Fold that are capable of breaking the bonds of Nandia’s gravity without breaking the jellybones of non-Nandians.
