Clarion is a beautiful, pristine planet on the edge of the [[White Light Nebula]]. Clarion's major city, Moline, is the base of perations for [[Eversafe Enterprises]].
		+
		+	===Colonizers===
		+	Humans were the primary settlers on Clarion in centuries past. As they expanded from the direction of [[Theseus]], the [[White Light]]
		+	system became a major crossroads for human exploration of the Frontier. Because it sits astride a connection of four major
		+	interstellar routes, Clarion has collected significant populations of all of the Four Races.
		+
		+	===Native Life===
		+	No native animal life has been discovered on Clarion. Much of the planet is covered with vegetation, but all of the plants would be
		+	considered "primitive" by most standards. Lichens, mosses, algae and ferns are the most common types.
		+
		+	===Physical and Geographical Aspects===
		+	Clarion is a flat, wet world. Most of the surface is covered by a large land mass that is broken by eight seas and a number of huge
		+	lakes. A few very low mountain ranges have risen above the surface, but most of Clarion is covered by broad plains and mud flats. A
		+	few of the largest mud flats are thousands of kilometers in diameter.
		+
		+	Constant rain, lasting for weeks, is the usual weather condition on Clarion. Generally, these storms are punctuated by brief periods
		+	of fair weather before clouds collect and the showers begin again. At anyone time, rain will be falling over 90% of the planet.
		+
		+	The resources which have made Clarion a wealthy planet include uranium, which is found in all ofthe low mountain ranges; huge
		+	quantities of petroleum beneath the mud flats; and a few rich collections of bauxite (aluminum ore). The only industry of any size on
		+	the planet is petroleum refining. Although there is very little demand for the burnable by-products of petroleum in the Frontier, the
		+	wide variety of plastics created from the oil are in great demand.
		+
		+	===Political and Cultural Aspects===
		+	All of Clarion is ruled by a single government. This government is a capitalist monarchy which traditionally has enjoyed wide
		+	support from the population. The current king, Leotus XIX, has ruled for 37 years and soon will no doubt abdicate in favor of his
		+	daughter, Leotia XX. The Leotus line has held the throne for nearly 400 years, always passing the crown from parent to child.
		+
		+	Clarion is sometimes referred to as "Gollywog" by visitors from other systems. The name is regarded as an insult by most residents
		+	of the planet, however, and its use has been known to provoke violence from loyal and peaceful citizens.
		+
		+	The population of Clarion is centered in 12 great cities, each with a population measured in tens of millions. The largest city on the
		+	planet is Valentina, the Throne City. Here, the incredible palace of the Leotine rulers sprawls over dozens of square kilometers.
		+	Here, also, is the headquarters of the surface-based Royal Guards, the planetary militia. This militia numbers only a few thousand
		+	men, yet it has never been defeated in any land combat fought throughout the planet's generally peaceful history.
		+
		+	Wheeling majestically through space, hundreds of kilometers above the planet's surface, are the Clarion Stations. Fortress
		+	Redoubt, a major UPF base, is the largest. The others include a large commerce station (Clarion Station), a Class III spaceship
		+	construction center, and a half-dozen smaller research and observation stations.
		+
		+	Some significant laws exist on Clarion that have contributed to the success of the monarchy. Trade with other systems is
		+	encouraged, and is profitable enough that most merchants do not mind the high tariffs assessed to all imports. Companies working
		+	on the planet's surface must demilitarize all operations, and this has contributed greatly to the state of perpetual peace that the
		+	planet has known.
		+
		+	There are a few agents of unrest, however. Leotus rules the planet through an elected parliament of 100 seats. Although 70 to 80 of
		+	these seats consistently support the king in all decisions, the remainder of the seats are held by the Liberation Party, which wishes
		+	to end the monarchistic government of Clarion. The Liberation Party is rumored to support some of the pirate bands that are known
		+	to lurk in White Light's asteroid belt.
		+
		+	The pirates also are reported to be receiving aid from the [[Streel Corporation]], which was banned from operations on Clarion for 20
		+	years following violations of the Demilitarization Act. Only eight years remain in this sentence, but already the rumors of subversive
		+	Streel activity are common. There also are reports that Streel is a heavy contributor to the coffers of the Liberation Party. Because of
		+	the UPF charter, the sentence against Streel does not extend into space, so the Corporation has an active office on the commerce
		+	station orbiting Clarion.
