Ubar!
Ubar is a dusty¸ dirty little rock with no oceans and an atmosphere too thin to breathe. It's a poor world; miners and ranchers live a fitful existence out in the dry hinterlands. Ubar's only saving grace is the Pit¸ a 977km-wide asteroid impact basin¸ an 11km deep hole punched into the planet's surface. Down at the bottom of that crater is air thick enough to breathe comfortably. Most of the population live inside the crater.
It's the outcasts and the impoverished who must weather the nasty extremes of the hinterlands up on the high grounds. That's where most of the real adventures are to be found!
