At a Glance
Cerberus is a hard land of gray and brown stone with hardy scrub, grasses and silty marshlands. It was never an easy settle. Orbiting a red star in a trinary star system, Cerberus never has a true night- with two nearby stars, even nightfall has a faint warm light. Neither is daylight particularly bright, similar to twilight levels on Earth. The planet has an extremely slow period of rotation making day and night more than 50 hours long each. As a result, Cerberans live lives, when indoors, and manufacture their own concepts of day and night aligned to Earth norms.
The colony was founded in 2181 but its population has remained small. Most of the colony's population lives in Lake Ithaca with a few thousand homesteaders sprinkled around the surrounding territory. Most of Cerberus remains a desolate, empty, and silent quarter where the most one will hear is the wind through short grasses and brush. Cerberus has no trees in its natural environment. The main foodstuffs on Cerberus are native-raised quadrotriticale, potatoes, and goats.
