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
