Crella
VNY's notes:
If you can't contract a social disease on Crella, you can't contract one at all.
Basic data:
Crella is the closest orbiting planet to its primary star, Anted. Its gravity is close enough to 1 Standard G as does not matter for most calculations. Its local day is 16 standard hours long; its local year is 255 local days long.
I asked a Mentat to figure the math on this, and I got an unwieldy number plus a contemptuous look. But it derailed the conversation in progress, which was nice! Anyway, yes, this does mean that the local year is a little under half of a standard year. That is no surprise with the orbital radius being so small. A significant component in the local tourism industry is that "summer fruit" is in season twice per standard year.
Crella has a single natural moon, big enough to create tides.
Most interstellar traffic does not bother to come this far in-system.
If you land away from the planetside starport (that white spot shown near the center of the above image), no one is going to stop you. Also, no one is going to come rescue you when mushroom-like things start growing through your exhaust ports. "Should have paid for the full tourism treatment," they will say, shaking their heads sadly at your misfortune, and then they will forget you while they go greet the next batch of visitors.
Geography
Crella is almost as much land as it is ocean. It has no ice caps to speak of, being the closest planet to its primary. Most of the urban areas are contained in low-energy force fields to keep diseases, fungi, and insects to a minimum, which means that aside from your basic checkup scan as part of landing procedures, there really is not a lot of health-related quarantine inspection or regulation on incoming traffic.
Now, outgoing traffic ... that is going to get more of a check-over. But a lot of it is disguised as friendly, "hurry back soon!" types of rituals.
Most of the land mass is contiguous: the northern hemisphere is almost all land, and it is possible to walk to the southern continent if one does not mind getting the lower meter and change of their bodies wet. (Do not do this. Something absolutely will bite you.)
The highest elevations planet-wide are near the starport. That is no coincidence.
Fauna & Flora
Crella is classified in Emperor Shey Tapani's index as "jungle". In fact, a lot of the land near the equator is more "thick marshland". It is on the hotter end of non-desert planets: average temperatures range between 30 and 56 Celsius.
On the plus side: plenty of oxygen!
