Triticum

Triticum is a planet of the Virasana Empire, also known as the Granary of Humanity. 
==Climate==
* one moon, Centaurea 
* carefully controlled biosphere, to the point that all entry to Triticum is extremely regulated.
* All imports are first brought to Centaurea for sterilisation
* All imported lifeforms have to be sterilized / harmonized as well, usually a lengthy and unpleasant process of several weeks, making travel from and to Triticum a rare thing.
* Crops are arranged in areas of maximum productivity, giving the planet an odd spotty look from space. 
==History==
* originally a world of House Medina, but was lost to House Ndewane during the Dakka War
* under House Ndewane, Triticum was turned from an already productive bread basket world into the Empire's most efficient and profitable agricultural industries. 
* Triticum's ecosphere has been engineered for maximum productivity within an inch of the possible, and is harshly monitored and quarantined
* There were several catastrophic biosphere failures in the past, most prominently the Summer of Black Wheat in 2143 ET
* medium N'Ptalini population
* no serfs, almost no slaves
* very low population
== Culture ==
Despite being more of a laboratory than a planet, there is a surprising number of well-frequented pubs on Triticum, with punk and pop music being the most popular styles. One punk band in particular, Death, Taxes and 4 out of 5 Botanists, has seen their songs played all across the Empire. 
Due to the enforced quaratine, food on Triticum is strictly local, simple but of exceedingly high quality. 
Sports play a large role in the life of Tritics, mostly soccer and similar team sports, though swimming is rather popular, too. Despite the quarantine, hoverball is popular enough for Triticum to have a regular team to the Imperial Hoverball League, the Triticum Harbingers, a serious contender to the title every now and then.
