OXPs
Lave 1.70
This OXP is written by Murgh and later edited by Kaks. There is no Wiki page as reference. This OXP also defines the famous Lave Moon.
| Lave is a rich and fabled world, possibly most famous for its vast rain forests, the stormy Paluberion Sea, and the Laveian tree grub. It is also the only system to offer the Space & Interstellar Pilot's Exam. |
| Authors: Murgh/Kaks |
Famous Planets 2.0
The Famous Planets OXP ads a texture of Lave. On top of that Music is played when exiting the station or coming from hyperspace. Famous Planets works also in tandem with Lave 1.70.
Fiction
The Dark Wheel
The Dark Wheel is a novella by Robert Holdstock. It was included with the original game Elite, and tells us about Lave:
| The planet Lave, below, rotated in blue-green splendour. There were storms moving across the Paluberion Sea, six great whorls of pink and white cloud. They were approaching the continental mass that was FirstFall, and promising a bleak and wet few days to the swathes of forest and the deep, snaking valleys that cut through the rugged land. The cities of both Humankind and Lavian glittered among the verdant blanket below like bright shards of glass.
[...] Lave, like any other planet, was not a holiday resort, not a curiosity. It was a living, evolving world, and there were folk down below to whom that world was everything that Old Earth had once been to the Human race. Protection. Mother. Home. |

Routes and Regions
Spaceways L1 and L2
Lave is the starting point of Spaceway L1 and Spaceway L2. Both pass over Zaonce as the next step to Aronar, where they split into the Xexedi loop of the L1, and the L2 which continues to its terminal point Zadies
The Old Worlds
Lave is the heart of The Old Worlds.
The Old Worlds consist of Reorte, Lave, Diso, Riedquat, Leesti, Zaonce, and Orerve
Rough Guide
The Rough Guide on the Ooniverse also has a very good entry on Lave.
| What can we say about Lave? Everyone knows Lave. We all trained there. The outlines of her continents are burned into our brains, from endless hours above them doing our jumps-and-bumps. Close your eyes and you’ll see them still: the arc of Crater Bay; the juts and jags of the Fenric coast; the curling comma Suther makes, creeping over the horizon into the short Laveian night. Many of us dropped down the well to Port Arcadia, and spent too much money, and might still have the faded Et In Arcadia Ego t-shirts to show for it. Been, seen, done: now we’re up and out and we’re never going back. |

The Traders Almanach
When cash matters more than cargo capacity, I give you this advice: You can't make a mistake with buying Lavese bacons here. You've got the choice to move them to Zaonce with a good plus of 80 to 90%, with Leesti being the second choice in destinations and Orerve last.
