Canyon

__NOTOC__
Canyon is a planet in the Zaurak system. It is controlled by the Syndicate.
== Description ==
Canyon is a large world, with gravity near the high end of what human beings can comfortably bear. Much of its surface is sandstone, leading scientists to believe that the planet was once home to large oceans, before some cataclysmic event, perhaps a rogue star drifting through the system, caused much of the planet's water to boil away. The few settlers who live here mostly farm the deep canyons; the mesas above are dry and almost lifeless.
The angular rock formations that cover most of the mesa land are identified in local mythology as the ruins of an unspeakably vast and ancient alien city. A gullible tourist can find any number of opportunities to tour these alleged sites. Off-world science has been largely skeptical of these claims.
== Spaceport ==
The spaceport is a wide, flat stone field with no individual landing spots marked out; you're simply responsible for finding an unoccupied space large enough for your ship. There are only a few starships parked here.
A half kilometer away from the field is a small village with a marketplace and a pub. In the village, you can recognize the locals because of their stout, muscular stature; you are taller than almost everyone here.
== Shipyard ==
Canyon does not have a shipyard.
== Outfitter ==
Canyon does not have an outfitter.
== Information ==
* Canyon has a tribute value of 400 and is defended by Small Syndicate Fleets.
