Planetary Description
A lush agrarian world located in the deep spinward marches. Jarangse I is dominated by endless, rolling plains of tall, velvety grass that shimmers in shades of deep violet and emerald under the light of its binary suns. The air perpetually smells of crushed pollen and rain. While superficially peaceful, the planet is deeply scarred by the ongoing economic strangulation of its generational farming syndicates by off-world corporate interests.
