Adumbria is an Imperial planet which is in a rotationally locked orbit around it's sun, meaning that one side of the planet is a sun baked desert, while the other half is locked in a perpetual night, an arctic hemisphere. The planet is unusual for such orbits in that it is one of the systems main life-supporting planets. the majority of the population live within the 'Shadow Belt', the equatorial region that lies between the two extreme hemispheres. There are inhabitants on both hemispheres, although they lead somewhat harsh lives. There are two main cities on the 'Shadow Belt', one based over one of the inland oceans fed by the dark side's glacial movements, and the other, Skitterfall, which is recognised as the planetary capital due to the fact that it contains the largest spaceport.
