Treliate

Treliate is a watery, tropical world, and is home to the Coreate, a long-time member species of The Empire. The Coreate evolved from larger cats, but then evolved to a smaller size as a result of the diminishing land-mass of their planet. A primate species existed on Treliate, briefly... but could not adapt to the loss of land on the planet. The Coreate lived in the treetops of their semi-aquatic world for millenia, living lives of intellectual pursuits. Thus resulted the mentally gifted Coreate species.

There are no well-defined continents on Treliate. The surface of the planet is mostly water, with a few marshes and islands, and a few trees jutting out of the water. A few Coreate still live in the marshes and on the islands, but the vast majority live in the trees.

There is little government on Treliate, as most of the Coreate live in small, self-governed communities, in the trees.
