Zerag (planet)


 * "We were supposed to terraform Zerag. After a year of planning, you're just gonna throw this in the trash?"
 * "The conditions are killer, Zellan."

Zerag is a medium-sized terrestrial planet in the Zerag System, located in the Jeraan Sector of the Centaurus Arm.

Characteristics
Despite lying 0.99 AU from its parent star, Zerag, the planet is covered with a thick desert of yellowish-red dust, with only limited vegetation and very little liquid water. The surface temperature of this arid world is around 82oC at night and 132.5oC in the day, because of a powerful greenhouse effect. It is inhabited by a race of intelligent, dog-like creatures which are called Serasi and a primitive Human-like race called the Zeragi. The Serasi are very similar to their counterpart on Earth, dogs, but are more intelligent, and more fierce.

The limited vegetation and desert conditions make many Serasi die out. A plan by the UFHW to terraform Zerag has been cancelled after a year of planning, due to Zerag's deadly conditions. Zerag is now ranked number 41 on the 100 Deadliest Places in the Milky Way survey.
