ivated survival aids left by the Others gave them the
comfort and leisure to develop their arts and philosophy. Humans and
Irschchans founded a joint colony in 2532 to grow miracle-weed; they
believed the cats to be unintelligent predators until a young
Irschchan, lost in the mountains, was rescued and returned to the
colony by a cloudcat whose name translates to Starflower.

Rapid-heal was so valuable a medication that Emperor Yasunon sent
Ranger Medart to attempt negotiation with the cloudcats. They proved
amenable, wanting little more than that the colonists leave them alone
unless they instituted the contact, and the right to travel on Imperial
vessels whenever they chose. In return, they permitted the colonists
to occupy and farm the entire equatorial zone.

General: Adopting a feudal-type society, Origani managed only sporadic
communication with Terra for about 200 years, when it regained full
communication and became part of the Empire. It is primarily an
agricultural planet, its claim to fame being the aphrodisiac it
produces from the keisha plant, grown on nearby Purgatory. (Linda
