In appearance this world is uninhabited (and uninhabitable), however
a detailed survey will indicate geological anomalies in one particular location.
Investigation will reveal several air lock chambers to an extensive underground habitat,
where the Viorans lead a trogldytic existence. In one of the worst cases of regression yet
found, chronic overcrowding has produced a primitive semi-cannibalistic society. Healthy
crew members will be greeted primarily as a source of food.
The Viorans produce nothing of value; however, one reason for their
overcrowding is longevity. After much detective work, assuming the researchers have not
been eaten in the meantime, this longevity may be traced to the inclusion of a
particularly repellent rodent scavenger in their diet, with remarkable anagathic
properties. The planet itself has a number of extractable deposits of various minerals.
