Kasputin Yar is the lone hospitable planet in the Yariz star system. It is an eerie world, with nearly eighty percent of its terrain covered by the curious Rofalssa stalk formations. These sinewy, vine-like plants are symbiotic to a small, coral-like organism called a Belshal. Rofalssa have an exceptionally high crystalline and silica content in their cellular structure, and when cells die, the stalks move this material up to the canopy, blooming out in dome-like pads. Belshal attach themselves to the underside of these canopies, and their metabolic processes produce a nutrient-rich water vapor. The canopies of the Rofalssa Stalks actually trap this vapor in a misty layer about thirty meters thick. Over the eons, this vast forest of Rofalssa has maintained a height of around five hundred m

abstract	Kasputin Yar is the lone hospitable planet in the Yariz star system. It is an eerie world, with nearly eighty percent of its terrain covered by the curious Rofalssa stalk formations. These sinewy, vine-like plants are symbiotic to a small, coral-like organism called a Belshal. Rofalssa have an exceptionally high crystalline and silica content in their cellular structure, and when cells die, the stalks move this material up to the canopy, blooming out in dome-like pads. Belshal attach themselves to the underside of these canopies, and their metabolic processes produce a nutrient-rich water vapor. The canopies of the Rofalssa Stalks actually trap this vapor in a misty layer about thirty meters thick. Over the eons, this vast forest of Rofalssa has maintained a height of around five hundred meters. The lone sentient species native to Yariz, the Yari, live in these biogenetic mists. They're an exceptionally rare phenotype, with no known relatives in the region. Many harken their resemblence to Ithorians or limbed Sluissi, but they're quite a bit bulkier and less mobile. With six large clasping fingers on all four limbs, they grip the growth on the stalks and have, through sentient development, cultivated several types of carefully controlled fungi, lichens, and pseudopods as food sources, never letting them overtake the Belshal or Rofalssa. To the offworld eye, the topside of the Rofalssa canopies define the surface — only a handful of offworlders have ever witnessed the true surface down at the base of the stalks. Offworlders can walk upon the topside of the Rofalssa domes, but they will find the air to be very wispy and bitter. Because of its distance from its parent star, Kasputin Yar is faintly lit, and its slow rotation results in long days and nights. There are a few remote, rocky outcroppings where Rofalssa has never been able to grow, and it is here where offworld settlements such as Vanover, Nenawirth, and Porthumberlon were built. Indeed, Yaries began their interaction with offworlders due to unattended technology and other objects. Yaries were documented by Republic xenobiologists who found them amicable and quite docile, despite their size. In addition to their meticulous attention to their environment's infrastructure, the scientists also discovered that Yaries have finely attuned senses for electrical variances. While this benefits a Yari, as a general rule, droids are only allowed in urban zones.
