The Levee Waystation is a minute starport, operated solely by a robot and a few automated food processors. The starport is often uninhabited, with only frequented by prospectors and surveyors that travel through. With a sentient primitive race on the planet, development on the planet is prohibited only to the single waystation and it’s bare minimum infrastructure.

The Levee Waystation is built in a barren salt flat. With constant heat and zero accessible water, the natives are not known of the waystation existence, rumors of the location is reaching the local natives. Through small drone surveillance, surveyors gather information that the natives have began telling the tale of the ‘Desert of the Star Beasts’. Lights that would come down from the sky and rest in the barren sands.

The Levee Waystation itself is a small building with a common room, tool shop, and several small staterooms. A large radio transceiver is used as the starport beacon, providing landing info and weather updates. The tool shop provides a few spare parts and mechanical tools for general starport maintenance.

The only inhabitant at the Levee Waystation is a humanoid robot named TV-246. TV-246 is always welcoming to guests that land and will always give a tour of the waystation. Much of the time, he is spent doing maintenance work or recharging his power cells. He doesn’t have much social ability, as he can’t convey emotions as well as understand minute emotions. Even without emotion, one priority he has is to respect guest follow by insuring station operation.

TV-246

A humanoid robot with a lanky brass colored chassis. Programmed with a cheery voice, reminiscent of a TV game show host, but the voice also has a unhuman broken sentence structure. He keeps to a strict schedule of recharging itself overnight and then performing maintenance on the structure.

Tuvoian Natives

The sentient race on Tuvoi who are hunter gathers with primitive technology. The Tuvoian have a dark grey complexion with a flat face and sunken eyes. They stand tall around two meters with proportionally longer limbs and legs. They often wear only furs, and equip themselves with hunting spears and javelins. Some would paint themselves in mud.

The Tuvoian society is built on nomadic lifestyle, often roaming around a given area, following herds of grazing beasts. Tuvoian language is primitive, with a simplistic sentence structure and a limited vocabulary. Tuvoian tribes would commune with such, but with a different dialect per tribe, and is incredibly complicated for translation software to interpret such a language.

Tuvoian tribes are built around a family structure, most of the highest members are the eldest. The tribe would be comprised of relatives of the elders, and anyone not related is often considered ‘unclean’ from what studies have shown. Often ostracized and unable to breed unless they prove themselves to the elder. If one does breed without the elder’s approval, the outsider and it’s mate are exiled, sometimes resulting in the formation of a new tribe.

They believe in Arken the God of War. Do unto others as you would do onto yourself. They have a Polaroid camera to get history. They also have firewater.
