Xis (Kellog II)

Xis (Kellog II) is the second planet from the sun of the Fair Chance Act (FCA)-protected Kellog system. A biologically diverse, lushly vegetated world, it is home to the developing Orm civilization and is protected by UEE Army patrols who enforce the FCA. Deep, multi-canopied rainforests and warm seas cover much of the planet's surface. The Orm largely reside in the temperate forests of the planet's polar regions. In the early 30th century, several freshwater slugs were smuggled off Xis and were sold to collectors under the name "Flo-Pets," which led to a fad that ultimately turned the animals into an invasive species on multiple worlds throughout the United Empire of Earth (UEE).
