Plorgitz

Plorgitz was the arid homeworld of the Sechifilluy in the Vall`to sector of the.

Geography
Plorgitz orbited a binary star, though far enough out to allow the development of life. It experienced periods of hot summer and cold winter, though it was often dry and rainfall anywhere was rare. Most plant life developed extensive roots to tap underground reservoirs, and fauna were adept at scavenging. The successful plants often bloomed in shades of blue and purple.

The surface water of Plorgitz existed in a number of seas and lakes, with rivers connecting them. The competing pull of the planet's two stars made its tides vary wildly throughout the year; sometimes rivers flowed sluggishly and tides rose only in centimeters, while at others rivers developed rapids and coastal towns braced for flooding. The seasonal storms also brought harsh winds.

Society and culture
Plorgitz's inhospitable climate repelled most alien settlers, but the Sechifilluy mastered their homeworld, learning to improvise and adapt to their harsh environment. Using all the resources they could find, they designed structures capable of withstanding coastal floods and drilled deep enough to provide wells for more inland cities.

History
Plorgitz was acquired by the Tetrarchy of Mezlagob some time after Synno. It was treated as a vassal state, though both SuisMez and Hudrel Robotics and Android Corporation took some of the planet's preeminent scientists and engineers for study and training, exploiting the Sechifil natural talent for creativity and improvisation. When the Golden Empire defeated the Tetrarchy during the Great Liberation, Plorgitz adapted to the new government without difficulty, although the availability of offworld opportunities saw many more Sechifilluy leave their homeworld.
