Description
Kaferia (Qa'Fir) was a desert planet orbiting Tau Ceti. It was a federation member in 2187

Diameter: 14,560 km
Class: M
Population: 6 billion
Native species: Dugara, Pelez, Kunza

The planet Kaferia was a planet located in the Tau Ceti system. It was a relatively arid world, although not without it's lush areas. Several expanses of sandy desert, known locally as the Sand Mains isolate the different regions of the world. These vast expanses of sand were traversed by some using various forms of transportation, including sand sailers and drillships. In the past the sand mains where places of lawlessness. The tribal Ribuo culture of the reptilian Kunza traditionally held the most authority in this area.

In addition, a large expanse of ocean often roughly translated as the Pelagic belt stretches across the planet. These waters are poisonous to the Pelez and Kunza species, because of the unique chemical composition. Freshwater has historically been a rarity, existing only in the northern ices and in underground basins. The Pelez built their cities near these underground lakes. The underground lakes were interconnected by hundreds of flooded tunnels and were categorized by their depth below ground. Many Wars were fought over the lakes in the southern hemisphere, especially between the insectoid Dugarans and the humanoid Pelez. The tunnel dwelling Dugarans had no use for the lakes, viewing them more as protected realms being invaded by pests.

The northern Icecap was a frozen wasteland inhabited by a different subgroup of the pelez. This culture developed much differently from the rest of the planet. Instead of developing and following rain worshipping religions, this culture known as the Lison, had a more technologically advanced standing and a democratic society. Some Lison migrated south to the Grinzhal region, mingling with the native Pelezians and building a large nation centered on the City of Debarron. The Geren Union, as it was called would be at odds with the neighboring Zehaldi Empire, entering into an arms race and eventually a space race.

Giant thunderstorms ravaged the surface, rarely bringing rain and often causing brush fires
