Description
Planet Dhaal was only just recently discovered during the 14th Planet Rush. Unlike most of the previous planets, Dhaal's Dominant Sapient Lifeform, the Zaika are already civilized, and have a technologically advanced society on par with the majority of the galactic norm. This anomaly has lead to Dhaal already in the process of asserting sapient right into the United Galactic Confederacy. It also means that Dhaal has the potential for trade between big businesses in the Confederacy such as Xenogen Biotech, KihaCorp, and the Camarilla and will be unable to be easily enslaved by the likes of the Black Void or the Tarratch. It certainly helps that Dhaal is currently run by several dystopian governing/business entities known as zaibatsu. The three largest and de facto power holders are Brightwater LLC, Paragon Inc. and Utopian Skies.
Dhaal is a planet that is tidally locked. This means that the speed of the planet's rotation and the speed of it orbit are in synchronization to each other; One side is constantly facing the planet's sun and the other side never sees it. As a result, one half is a frozen wasteland and the other is an endless desert. The only hospitable portion of the planet is a band of eternal twilight between the two hemispheres.
