Thorell (0231 Old Expanses X510276-0): Red
Zone. The native race of Thorell is well adapted to its near-vacuum
world, although archaeologists and geologists maintain the atmosphere was
thicker at one time. Thorellians are a burrowing race, built long and low,
with six limbs. They can see an electromagnetic spectrum from green through
microwaves.
Many interconnecting burrows make up a city, which is
synonymous with a Thorellian nation. There are at least 300 such nations
plus smaller groupings and loners on the planet. Territorial disputes are
common but usually nonviolent.
Thorell is a Scout Service red zone, interdicted
until the natives progress sufficiently to enter the interstellar community.
