Serpens

__NOTOC__
Serpens is a planet in the Phact system. It is controlled by the Republic.
== Description ==
Serpens is a sparsely populated world of ancient canyonlands and barren deserts. There were no permanent settlements here until a century ago when visiting biologists discovered an indigenous snake whose venom is useful as a painkiller and heart medication. That led to a few small laboratories being set up in the desert, and to the eventual discovery of other useful compounds that can be extracted from the local flora and fauna.
== Spaceport ==
The spaceport's landing pads are just a set of flat cleared areas on top of a mesa, surrounding a jumble of small adobe buildings.
Inside the spaceport, scientists in lab coats rub shoulders with "snake wranglers" who ride in and out on horseback, dressed in denim and wearing oversized straw hats. The whole place smells of antiseptic and manure.
== Shipyard ==
Serpens does not have a shipyard.
== Outfitter ==
Serpens does not have an outfitter.
== Information ==
* Landing here has no required reputation.
* Serpens has a tribute value of 900 and is defended by Large Republic Fleets.
