567-908
In the vast tapestry of the cosmos, where each star and world holds its own secrets and potential, Planet 567-908 stands as a desolate enigma, scarcely meriting the attention of those who traverse the interstellar lanes. This dry, unforgiving world with its thin, almost insubstantial atmosphere offers little to entice the ambitions of colonists or the avarice of commerce. Yet, within its austere bounds lies a story waiting to be uncovered.
567-908 is a harsh mistress, a planet where survival is a daily struggle against the elements. The rudimentary starport, a modest installation operated by the Scout Service and augmented by a few private contractors, serves as the sole beacon of civilization on this barren world. The starport is little more than a cluster of huts, functional and spartan, centered around a small, precious lake. This lake, a vital source of drinking water and hydrogen fuel, is the lifeblood of those who must pause here on their voyages. Few linger longer than necessary, as the planet's meager offerings do little to encourage prolonged stays.
The prevailing hypothesis suggests that the Shriekers are the descendants of an ancient colony, their progenitors having settled this world in an epoch long past. The source of this original colony remains shrouded in mystery, its location unknown. Speculation abounds that their homeworld once resided in the inner system, now reduced to cinders and cosmic dust as the star expanded and consumed it in a fiery embrace millions of years ago. The Shriekers' continued existence, their culture, and their traditions are all echoes of a distant past, resonating through the ages in a landscape that seems almost inimical to life.
The Great Retreat, the last stronghold of Shrieker civilization, is both a sanctuary and a relic. It is a place where the echoes of ancient glories mingle with the harsh realities of survival. The priestly class, custodians of knowledge and tradition, guide their people through the trials of existence on 567-908. The city itself, though diminished, is a testament to resilience and adaptation, its structures and rituals a living history of a race that has endured despite the odds.

Native Sophont: Shrieker
Amidst the stark landscape of 567-908, there exists a native species of sophonts known as the Shriekers. These enigmatic beings, nomadic in nature, are governed by a priestly caste and reside within the last vestige of their ancient civilization, a city they call the Great Retreat. The Shriekers' presence on 567-908 raises profound questions about their origins. The primary star of the system, a relatively young celestial body in its current phase, has not provided the time necessary for the natural evolution of intelligent life.The prevailing hypothesis suggests that the Shriekers are the descendants of an ancient colony, their progenitors having settled this world in an epoch long past. The source of this original colony remains shrouded in mystery, its location unknown.
