Angallis
Angallis has long been regarded throughout the Greater Vandyrian Empire as one of civilization's great institutional heartlands, its prestige resting upon accumulated scholarship rather than industrial output, commercial dominance, or direct political authority. Balmy, humid, and extensively jungled, the planet supports cities deliberately planned around universities, archives, laboratories, observatories, museums, research institutes, and great open academic precincts, giving even its major population centers the character of enormous campuses rather than conventional metropolitan concentrations.
Its population contains an extraordinary proportion of scholars, researchers, academics, administrators, and specialist personnel whose institutions frequently possess histories extending across immense spans of Imperial civilization.
