Orvale
Orvale is high gravity and sparsely populated, which means every settlement is engineered like a fortress against the planet itself. People who live here do it for a reason—claims, research permits, isolation, or a lack of better options—and they don’t romanticize it. Orvale-built equipment has a reputation for durability, and Orvale society has a reputation for minding its own business.

Orvale is high gravity and sparsely populated, which means every settlement is engineered like a fortress against the planet itself. People who live here do it for a reason—claims, research permits, isolation, or a lack of better options—and they don’t romanticize it. Orvale-built equipment has a reputation for durability, and Orvale society has a reputation for minding its own business. Orvale settlements cluster in reinforced valleys and excavated plateaus where transportation costs can be controlled. High gravity shapes architecture, medicine, and labor: buildings are low, machinery is powerful, and off-world visitors tire quickly. Local manufacturers test equipment under conditions severe enough that an Orvale certification carries commercial weight across the network.
