Serata

Serata is the smaller of three habitable continents on the moon Bo-Sera, located on the far side of the moon. It's equatorially positioned and has received an excellent balance of sunlight-darkness ratio for vegetation growth. Serata is far from primitive, but its landscape is untouched by extreme development (gravium mines being the exception).

It is covered in a thick jungle, known locally as Momo'klema. Trees grow to monumental sizes, some reaching heights of giant skyscrapers. Serata has a diverse ecosystem with millions of animal species, both mammal, reptile, insect, and arachnid. Primates and chimps of various types evolved well here, as have serpents. Primary predators include small quad-pedals on the floor, and the infamous Hashek, a tree-swinging creature with four arms and two short legs.

Most of Serata's human history is tribal, with various clans and peoples dominating different areas and levels of the jungle. It wasn't until Chief Tremboa Meershek that the tribes were united under a single leadership, called the All-Tribe. The largest settlement of the All-Tribe is Ckleteris, housed in the largest known trees on Bo-Sera. Over many centuries, the All-Tribe has technologically grown, but with legal limitations, for the civilization bases its culture on its nature-harmonious customs. In fact, through the centuries, the Seratans have learned to adapt their skin through genetic manipulation to resemble a sort of mossy bark similar to their jungle in both color and texture.

Serata's trade is a mixture of wood, fruit, and exotic furs. However, it's primary export is gravium, a unique element key to conducting missions to Gorga'thal and CHORE flight technology by the Greticans. The gravium in Serata is not the only source, but it is the largest of Bo-Sera, and its purity and quality is exceedingly superior to anything else. In return, the All-Tribe receives ilurumium-67 to develop cleaner technology in order to bypass a dirtier industrial age.

Serata is often called the Unknown Lands, due both to its largely unnavigable landscape except by native citizens, and its permanent position facing away from Gorga'thal. There has never been a war between continents on Bo-Sera, but the All-Tribe has acted as a mediator for the world, helping develop the agreement to make the Basic Relay System universal.
