The planetoids do not spin, so one half of each planetoid face each other permanently, while they mutually rotate together in space. The planetoids are the same size and mass and connected by an atmosphere chain or belt. With in the chain lightning storms rage, gravity and turbulence and areas of extreme weather exist such as vortexes and hail, sudden heat spikes or cold drops. Naturally the side of the planetoids that face each other is the less pleasant side with volcanic action and terrible weather. The sides of the dwarf worlds facing out to space are the more pleasant sides and during the night on each planetoid spectacular light shows in the atmospheres can occur. Note terrible storms (just not as bad as the constant activity on the other side) can happen on the pleasant side of the planetoids as well. Both planetoids have very arid environments with extreme hot and cold temperatures (but survivable extremes with the right training and technology.) Though it is possible for two objects to orbit, it should be noted that the two objects being the same size and mass and the existence of both having an atmosphere that is connected by a “belt” or “chain” is just not normal or natural.</span></p><div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: Verdana"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="2"><br /></font></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: Verdana"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="2">The two planetoids are called Posita and Negato both have life on them and sentient life. Both Posita and Negato are at a state of war. Technological differences exist between the two cultures though the people on both dwarf worlds are related. Posita tends toward more electro-magnetic and physical technology (bombs) and direct assualt behaviors. While Negato technology tends toward use of electro-sound waves, sonar, mind control type technology.</font></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: Verdana"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="2"><br /></font></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="2"><span style="font-family: Verdana; line-height: 22px" class="Apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: Verdana">Both populations will relate that 1000s of years ago (they are very vague on how many 1000s) their ancestors where one united people and that while working to harness a new power technology ("the secret of electricity") their Home World Electro was destroyed, split asunder. Somehow some of their ancestors survived on both sides of the planet at the polar extremes and thus Posita and Negato where formed, and mysteriously transformed into perfect little dwarf worlds. </span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana"> Both races can transverse the belt, but do not have space travel. Both races are at war, Negato in the past had attacked and enslaved Posita and though Posita is now free, Posita wishes to destroy or return the favor. No one can remember peace. Both cultures use the same symbol of electric bolts for thier national symbols, both have developed into military societies and are run by a sort of warlord monarchy. </span></font></div><div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: Verdana"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="2"><br /></font></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: Verdana"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="2">Now in RJSR everyone was humanoid and no good explantaion exists for the planetoids which are "gypsy moons" traveling through space... I have decided to put them in a system, the planetoids actualy form a giant power station and the ancestors of the current population had been used as slaves to create it but where not expected to live (what the power station was built for is another mystery), that a device in the middle of the atmosphere chain keeps it all working, the surviving waring cultures are Dralasite off shoots (I borrowed the Star Trek black/white bodies for them) and each race has a special genetic trait, Positans can generate an electric shock naturaly and Negatons can generate sound waves naturaly that disorient others. These Dralasites do have a sence of humor it is just sadistic, dark and very physical. I also decided both cultures are expert at Genetic Engernerring and Bio-Chemical methods of modifing life forms. The Monarchy of both societies can only be inheritied by the bud of the current ruler. Both believe they are the superior surviving gene pools of the ancestors, and do not believe in mixing and blame each other for Electro's demise. Any mis-coloured bud (solid black or white, checkered, or inverted coloured for that race) is "bonzaied" (kept small and bio-chemically nuetered) and used as slaves and servants.</font></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: Verdana"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="2"><br /></font></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana" size="2"><span style="line-height: 22px" class="Apple-style-span">I figure this can be a good adventure place, mysteries to solve, war to end, weird science, and a Dralasite society gone wrong but in a strange Dral way, and much more... like what will they think about grey Drals?</span></font></div><div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana" size="2"><span style="line-height: 22px" class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></font></div><div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana" size="2"><span style="line-height: 22px" class="Apple-style-span">:)</span></font></div><div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana" size="2"><span style="line-height: 22px" class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></font></div><div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana" size="2"><span style="line-height: 22px" class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></font></div><div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="2"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana"><span style="line-height: 22px" class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></font><span style="font-family: Verdana"><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana"><font class="Apple-style-span"> </font></span></p></span></font></div></div></div>
