## Description

The planet Noognar Barc was situated in the northeastern Central Expanse region of the Cassiopeia Galaxy, specifically located several thousands of light-years southwest of Metric Space borders. The planet had a visible ring system, orbited a single white star, and had seventeen rocky moons.

The cold surface of Noognar Barc was covered in dense boreal forests, frigid seas, barren ice sheets and glaciers, and mountains of marble, limestone, and slate-blue granite. Half of the planet's surface was covered in land while the other half was covered in water. Crustaceans dwelled in the seas of Noognar Barc and were a valuable source for seafood cuisine.

## History

### Republic Outreach

In 5756 ASA, the United Cassiopeian Republic sent a small team of pioneers and officials to Noognar Barc in hopes of annexing the planet into its galactic commonwealth of worlds. The initial expedition team consisted of four adult women who swore loyalty to the UCR and dedicated themselves to the establishment of the first UCR base and settlement on the planet. These first UCR settlers were the explorer Xiao Chen Fong, the architect Iris Lin, the maintenance technician Myra Kantowlow, and the scavenger and ex-convict Xanh Stones.

In the decades following the establishment of UCR presence on the planet, the UCR managed to unite the hospitable political factions of the planet. Any hostile polities or factions were either driven off-world or exiled into the outskirts of civilization.
