Luyten

Luyten is a human Inner Colony world of the Unified Earth Government, located in the Luyten 726-8 system. Relatively close to the Sol system, Luyten is approximately a six-day travel from Earth via slipstream space. Luyten is comparatively smaller than the colonies in the Sol and Epsilon Eridani systems, though a strong, densely populated core world nonetheless.

Ecology
The Hoodoo Gorges on Lutyen are home to nightgyr, a species of small and harmless (to humanity) winged lizards who hunt smaller prey such as blood mots and thumb birds. The recurrence of thumb birds is a yearly occurrence on Luyten, with the birds spreading fever and plague across the planet - something aided by the nightgyr's preying upon them. The apocritii are a species of nocturnal hunters also native to the planet.
