Abraham, planet

Abraham, planet‏‎ UAS : Abraham Union Planet 5th planet in the Beta Pictoris system.

A GWC 7A planet- Colonized during the 3rd wave of the Second Exodus exclusively by a branch of Orthodox Jews who believe a prophet in the same tradition as Moses commanded them to seek their own world. The very dry and hot world has two cooler regions at either pole where liquid water exists. The world also has a native Biosphere of nonsentient and biologically primitive bioforms, which are not consumable by Terran Humans. The Jewish colonists strictly adhering to Kosher foods brought their own life stock. During the first five centuries of colonization, there was only very sporadic contact to United Earth. Contact increased very slightly until 20 years after the founding of the Union. While there are several towns on the planet and the world is now part of the Union, it remains mostly an isolated community. There are virtually no exports or imports. The system now features seven occupied planets of which Salomon's World maintains a weekly shuttle connection to Abraham. There is a Union Post Office and a GalNet terminal. No spaceport and no direct space bus connection.

GWC 7A planets are marginal garden worlds with temperatures of 20-80 degrees (C Scale) and one or more of the following:
