At a Glance
Terrain
Uncultivated, the world of Gault resembled the endless, sometimes rolling, expanses of Ukraine, Poland or Iowa- though noticeably warmer than any of those. Gault has very little axial tilt or seasonal variation. It's wide open plains are semi-arid but laced with rivers and lakes which farmers and ranchers use for irrigation and watering livestock. Only small portions of Gault are even populated, yet the farms on Gault as enormous, manned by automated artificial farming machines. Despite this, less than eight percent of Gault has been modified in any way: much of it remains open grasslands and scrub native to the planet.
