A jungle world, fresh and young where reptiles still rule. The vegetation is lush and wild, with seasons stretched between cruel winter near the poles and mild summer for much of the rest of the planet all the year round.
The buildings of the settlers here are strong but functional, and life is a constant battle against an angry nature
Principal trades: Animals as exotic pets, agriculture
Indigenous intelligent species: Various reptilian hominids, including the simian-descended Ghoax, whose stone age culture just beginning to expand into something more. There is evidence of some agrarian agriculture among the Ghoax clans, but essentially hunter gatherer. However, there is some evidence to suggest the Ghoax were once far more developed as the architecture of some areas of the T'Chell Palace is not in keeping with that race's usual preferences and items found there are clearly of Ghoax workmanship.
Harvax teems with wild and dangerous life, including several sub-hominoid races believed to have been introduced either by the aliens that transformed the star system or via dimensional Portals on the planet which have yet to be located.
Contact between Harvax races and Human settlers is kept limited and all Human settlements are protected by null fields to prevent the larger reptiles damaging dwellings. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't.
Only one race, the T'Chell, are remotely friendly on a regular basis with Humans and they have grudgingly permitted settlement by Humans in their major city, Chaross, near the Accessway link point.
The tourist arriving here comes armed for war, since exploration is fraught with danger.

For future reference:
The dangers of Harvax are compounded by what is suspected to be aside effect of the Portals on this world. This is the presence of an energy field which, if accessed mechanically or by natural ability, enables the manipulation of the laws of nature in a chaotic manner -- magic by any other name. Thus the Explorer with the finest state-of-the-art weaponry can find themselves at the mercy of an axe-wielding Ghoax, their guns suddenly rendered useless by some quirk of the Harvax Field. Scientists continue to posulate as to the source of this energy field but as yet, no-one has a real answer.
Worryingly, the races of Harvax discovered the energies of this field can be contained in mechanical objects or artefacts such as rings, amulets and larger items, enabling their wielders to utilise the Harvax Field offworld as well as on (though such tools need to be re-charged).

The City of Chaross

General
Check locales --  needs splitting between background and floor
This could be done as a cut and paste operation over time utilising a back stage area.

Movement: Concern over walk ons and walk offs from different locales, especially if as a ghost. These need to be sorted out and agreed before opening.

Dimensional Portals
The Portals on this world -- not visible as yet within the starting locales -- are unstable and while accessing their secrets remains elusive, creatures from the other side of their gateway have found their way to Harvax, establishing warring nations of strange, primitive beings in every possible ecological niche on the planet. Humans are a rarity on this world and the unwary visitor risks everything by not arriving prepared for the worst.

While these are of a similar design to the Portals on Orell, those on Harvax that have been unlocked access dangerous and hostile environments across the galaxy and into different time periods. Because of the nature of these portals it is surmised that these were the first tests of the dimension-shifting technology that may have swallowed the entire Chi'kkren race at some point, though as mentioned elsewhere, no records have been found to exlpain that race's disappearance some thousands of years ago.

It is intended that Harvax provides our 'bridge' to various game worlds.
