Uxmal is a small terran sized planet, about the size of Mars, which has a large moon, approximately the size of earth's Luna. Uxmal is a vibrant planet, with a huge, world-spanning ocean, with large continents nonetheless, many stellar nations would be interested in colonizing this planet, however, it is already the home of an advanced species of humanoids, the Nizoans. Their civilazation is currently in the equivalent of earth's information age, with comples communications networks, a worldwide media, crude grid capability, and advanced transportation systems. Uxmal, however, never became home to a wasteful, polluting society such as the one that thrived on earth 500 years ago, the Nizoans, deeply in touch with their environment, realized the negative effects of fossil-fuel engines, putting an end to their development a mere 10 years after their first use. They have opted to use wind-powered vehicles, such as adanced sailships, that ride on Uxmal's strong winds (average of 40 kph, common gusts can be as high as 80 kph). They have recently begun mass-production of their combustion engine in a century,  a fuel cell type electric engine similar to the hydrogen fuel cells used briefly on earth in the 21st century, this system is very effective on Uxmal: Powerplants are powered by the ocean's impressive tides, hence producing abundant electricity with little or no effect on the planet's eco-system, this electricity is in turn used to electrolyse sea water, separating it into oxygen and hydrogen, the later being used in the fuel cells. Uxmal's population is evely spread between the continents and semi submerged  cities that surface in calm weather, and dive under the waves during storms.

Environment: Uxmal's atmosphere is extremely humid, it rains at least once a day, for a minimum of 5 hours, this humidity is unconfortable for species other than the Nizoans.

Relations: Since IVD's report to the Concord ship the "Lighthouse" the Galactic Concord has already sent emmisaries to open relations with the Nizoan central gouvernment. An agreement is already signed which bars the entry of any foreign technology  on the planet, the Nizoans wish to keep relations open on a strictly social level, they do not want to become a client planet and they have adamantly refused every offer to join a stellar nation, the last thing they want for their home is for it to become a resort planet for the Stellar Ring's wealthy elite. To help enforce these wishes, the GC has entrusted the command of a cruiser and two corvettes to the Nizoan gouvernment, although they have no intent on integrating this new technology onto their planets, the GC has convinced them of the need to protect themselves against the unscrupulous members of the Stellar Nations. These ships are manned by GC Star Force, and all of them have a platoon of Concord Marines in case a ground offensive is lauched, the Nizoan gouvernment has veto right over these vessels however. In exchange, the Nizoans have provided GC scientists with a few prototypes of their advanced watercraft, which are equal or better to any human ships.
