Remarks:
Anatar,
Tharrill's sister world, was settled by the Carrillian
Assembly and was, with the exception of a considerably chillier climate,
virtually equal in potential to Tharrill itself. Both colonies thrived until,
about two centuries ago, disaster struck Anatar. The Red
Plague of 922 was one of the most horrible catastrophes in human history.
Rumor has it that, during the evacuation, a starship carrying a large shipment
of valuable paintings, sculpture and other priceless pieces from the Planetary
Museum crashlanded somewhere in the wilderness northwest of the capital city.
Two expeditions have visited the world in hopes of locating and salvaging the
lost artwork; both of them contracted the Red Plague - two survivors came back
from the first expedition and none from the second. This has caused fresh
consideration of the problem and has led to the theory that the virus can be
absorbed through exposed skin as well as through the lungs. No one has been
willing to test this assumption, however, by another visit to Anatar.
