Update:
Makrai VII has suffered greatly since the fall of the
Commonwealth. While the Nietzscheans stayed clear of
the world during their uprising and Magog raids were
repulsed at great cost, this beautiful planet has more
recently been victimized by loggers, miners, slavers,
and other exploiters, most working under the auspices
of the Free Trade Alliance, which claims jurisdiction
over the system. Most tragically, the Makra themselves
must hire their services out to their planet's despoilers
in order to survive, marking them as collaborators in
the eyes of their fellow inhabitants. An underground
resistance movement, Tears of the Forest, remains active
but hasn't made much headway against Makrai VII's occupiers.

Previous Information:
The humid, heavily forested Makrai VII is the primary
home of the intelligent, felinoid Makra. Despite having
a sophisticated culture and extensive technology, an
observer in orbit would be hard pressed to find any
sign that Makrai VII is inhabited by a technological
species. This is due to the famous Makra environmental
ethic and its equally famous motto "gentle be the hand
that lies on the land." Due to their intense attachment
to their homeworld, few Makra have emigrated over the
centuries. And while offworlders are welcome to study
or visit, strict immigration and environmental controls
prevent any from settling permanently.
