Yelsain (forest world)
Yelsain
Description: Yelsain is a heavily forested world that sports incredibly tall trees, due to the low local gravity. The population is made up primarily of farmers, hunters, and loggers - Yelsain is the breadbasket of the Minos Cluster. However, the local population is also possessed of an independent streak a kilometer wide, which has given the local Imperial garrison no end of trouble. The Imperials don't even bother trying to tax the people anymore - it's not cost effective to send troops into the woods looking for heavily armed tax dodgers who don't want to be found. Rather, the Imperials impose higher-than-normal taxes on all imports and exports. Yelain is also known to be home to a diverse array of fauna, including several large predators. As a result, this is a favorite destination for rich safari hunters who usually do little more than annoy the locals and provide a tasty snack for something large with lots of teeth.
