WHITE ORDER: (Irschchan) The organization of Talented Irschchans that has ruled that planet since approximately 3000 BCE, its most strongly Talented member becoming the High Adept. In keeping with the Empire's policy regarding already-existing governments, this was modified only in that the High Adept also becomes the Planetary Baron. At initiation, a member drops @'s family name, using "of the White Order" instead. X XAN: Xanadu's planetary computer. XANADEN: Inhabitant of Xanadu. XANADU: Sector: 1, Orion Year: 729 std. days Subsector: C, Heimdall Day: 83 hours System: Kama Gravity: 950 cm/sec2 Settled/established: 2142 Axial tilt: 47 deg. By: Oxygen: 23% Satellites: None % Water: No surface water Ident code prefix: XAN Continents: None Ruled by: Steen family General: Pleasure planet. Although its surface is uninhabited, its near-surface volume contains numerous large cave complexes which have been improved and expanded. It has no native life, even plants, but Terran imported plants thrive, thanks to carefully-controlled lighting and atmosphere. Since everything is underground, the surface year and day are irrelevant to Xanadens; the entire planet operates on Palace Standard Time. Xanadu's only significant economic asset is tourism, its most famous attractions the Pleasure Dome and the amators.
