Crater's World is the site of a once prosperous civilization of aliens characterized by their biological dependence on large quantities of salt. Scientists speculate that a change in the planet's golbal weather patterns dried up vast salt seas, driving the race to extinction. Originally designated Planet M113, the world was later named in honor of the late professor Crater and his wife Nancy, the first archeologists to examine the planet's archeological ruins. In the last decade, a permanent archeological base has been established on the planet to continue the Craters' work. |
