Xezaor is known for its tundra and swamp landscapes. Xezaians have found a way to refine the swamp mud into swamp oil. This swamp oil is an industrial lubricant used in ship maintainance. When not at work the Xezaians gamble their daily wages in the planet's numerous, if utilitarian, Hoopy casinos. (Famous Planets OXP)
This system falls under the responsibility of the Navy Command Station 8 in Xeer. (Galactic Navy OXP)
Fiction
The Dark Wheel
The Dark Wheel is a novella by Robert Holdstock. It was included with the original game Elite, has a most evocative description of the seedier parts of the Orbital station in chapter 6 and describes Xezaor itself:
| Out of Witch-Space: the dizziness, the slight shudder, the brief disorientation. Ahead of them, the distant, red-blue disc of the planet Xezaor was only slightly brighter than the gleaming field of stars around. The planet's sun was dim and very close by. It glowed red. A dying star, as the world ahead of them was a dying world, a cooling world, a world whose wealth and industrial development could not hold back the process of Galactic ageing. Xezaor was a world where luxuries and warmth meant everything, now, and Shanaskilk fur, with the multiple heads still intact, would fetch a high price. |

Routes and Regions
Spaceway L3
The Spaceway L3 passes through this system, coming from Xeer and going to Reesdice.
The Traders Almanach
| In a low-cash situation, this is my advice: You can't make a mistake with buying microprocessors here. You've got the choice to move them to Solageon, which give you about 51 to 58% in Solageon, with Reesdice or Edorte being the second choice in destinations and Xeer last. |
