Introduction
Lor Zatean is a small island resort in the Menaris Ocean near Aeotheran's Equator, a thousand miles south of Seng Karash. This dormant volcanic island was colonised in 24 ABY in a joint venture between the Dlarit Corporation and Dystopian Leisure and rapidly became popular with personnel of both Dlarit Mining and the Dlarit Security force, due to its many entertainment and relaxation facilities, and its all year round hot and sunny weather. The island is now directrly run by the Aeotheran government, though many of the businesses are privately owned. It is a pleasant island, with both natural black sand and artificially constructed white sand beaches, volcanic formations, exotic plant life, and many imported species of none threatening animal and birdlife.
In April 34 ABY the Quaestor of House Shar Dakhan, Darkblade, and the Orian Assembly agreed to shut down Lor Zatean and leave the island uninhabited until further notice. However following the restoration of the House's rule over Aeotheran in 38 ABY, the resorts of Refarice and Yamfianta have undergone extensive restoration and is now open for business.
Areas of Interest
Refarice
Refarice is the quieter resort on the north side of the island, mainly for older guests and families, with the hotels bars and restaurants being more family orientated. This is also the main shopping area of the island, with food markets, clothing boutiques, and soulvenir shops.
In an attempt to make this area more attractive all buildings are a white and restricted to two levels.
A popular feature of Refarice are the nearby tropical gardens, a wildlife zone inhabited by the more placid wildlife.
Yamfianta
The south side of the island on the other hand is the nosier side, with the more active clubs, nightlife and is more popular with young adults and military personnel.
The buildings here are larger, including several skyscraper hotels and large club venues, though nothing on the scale of Dystopia.
The monorail runs around the outside of the island connecting the two areas and the shuttle port on the west side of the island.
The Desert
The east side of the island is taken up by a vast volcanic desert area, whose dunes are popular for bantha and dune buggy rides as well as treks on foot for the more adventurous traveler.
Sadow Beach
Formerley known as Dlarit Beach, the northwest side of the island is a private residential area where senior directors and military personnel of the Orian Authority had private villas or apartments. A selection of attractive cliff top and beachfront properties is provided for this purpose and several members of Clan Naga Sadow have chosen to have bespoke individual properties built
Trivia
Unlike Seng Karash and Kar Alabrek the island is too geographically unstable to host a hyproponic facility and food and drink is shuttled in from Seng Karash. Aside from a few private vessels of senior Orian Assembly employees, spacecraft are forbidden to land on or fly over the islands airspace, in order to police arrivals and departures and also to avoid noise pollution. The Orian Authority keeps a fighter squadron on the island and unauthorized craft are intercepted and politely turned away.
