PLANET DOSSIER
your dossier for the css eudora's current spring route
Welcome to your planet dossier for this spring tour of the CSS Eudora. The first full week of your tour will be spent acclimating to your brand new home away from home and getting to know your Senior Crew. Afterwards, you will start your intergalactic voyage along the CSS Eudora's Spring Route.
Below are links to the various planets that the CSS Eudora will be traveling to throughout Spacecoast. Some locations may beget interesting pieces of information and can be explored further beyond a surface level over at the Planet Mini-CYOA sign up.
(Note: Planet Mini-CYOAs for the week will open on Sundays upon receipt of dossier and will remain open until Wednesday @ 3 PM EST / 12 PM PST or until they have reached maximum capacity, at which point we will close them.)
At this time, crew cannot curfew planetside on Thursdays.

HYROS
Technological Range: A mixture of high and low-tech due to changes in population and travelers that influence their way of life. Their more complex technologies are adapted from out of date models.
Inspo Board: Here
Unique Characteristics: Hyros is made up of vast desert terrain, where its denizens dwell underground in a metropolis called the Ocean of Silk. Its population is diverse, some hailing from orbiting moons while others are simply passing through for business. Species of all shapes and sizes call Hyros home, all bearing the common goal of trading wares from all over the far reaches of the galaxy.
Hot and dry all year round, surface temperatures can reach up to 47°C/117°F degrees. However, that's not the reason its population has fled to the safety of the Ocean of Silk. If you're topside, you can hear it, low rumblings that turn up the sands, long tracts of dark, sleek creatures surfacing to claim ownership of the surface.
Hyros is quiet on the surface. Seldom is anyone actually seen traveling the long tracts of desert besides the local desert-faring fauna. Most trade routes anywhere above ground have gone disused for so long that sand has eroded them away, much like any other signs of civilization - routes inside have been limited to just a few, safer trails.
General Locations: These locations are for flavor only and cannot be investigated during a planetside mini-CYOA.
☀️ Frey's Fresh Fish Flesh: A middle-aged woman with a wet cloth wrapped around her throat like a scarf is perched on a tall stool beside a very large urn. If you're feeling a bit peckish for some seafood, never fear! Frey, the woman, sells fresh fish, which she forges out of the urn herself, descales, and guts before selling.
☀️ The Prismatic Peacock: Find quality silks, satins, and other specialty-woven fabrics here. You have received a voucher that can be redeemed here for one bespoke piece of clothing made by the eight-armed seamster in the back who is happy to measure you on location to make sure his creation fits you perfectly.
🌒 The Night Market: The Ocean of Silk is home to many shops along its numerous, winding strips. However, as most of the denizens of the underground begin to tuck themselves in for the night, a corner of this enormous bastion of survival lights up with dozens of dark stalls with bold, brilliant banners that set the area alight with intrigue. Two rules here: Everyone must wear a mask to do business here, and everything has a price. Welcome to the Night Market.
The only source of water on Hyros, it is a massive underground spring that burbles up to the surface and fills several canals as well as a reservoir, all of which lead down towards the Ocean of Silk. Eudora crew members may flash their badges to gain passage on one of the boats offering rides to travelers back and forth between the surface port and the Ocean of Silk itself.
THE ABANDONED TRADE ROUTES:
A winding series of roads that one may traverse if they so dare, leading up towards the dangerous sandy expanse aboveground. The trails leading up and out of the narrow passages to the Ocean of Silk itself are overrun with hardy, flora and rodent-like creatures that skitter to and fro in among the detritus that litters the way. The trails get more treacherous the closer to the surface you get, disused and abandoned.
THE CAVERN:
A ways from the Ocean of Silk stands a very large opening up against a cliff face. The air is significantly hotter around this particular area, bearing with it a strange smell, the source of which can't be traced. There are pitons struck at its edges and ropes holding open the entrance that has begun to sag with age. Have a look inside?
