ITHOR
Ithor was the fourth planet located in Ottega system of the Mid Rim. One of the oldest members of the Galactic Republic, it was a planet full of lush life, and the planet's surface had not a touch of civilization on it. The Ithorians themselves, otherwise known as "Hammerheads," built great floating cities that did not harm the surface, which they considered to be sacred. Entry upon the surface was forbidden, unless one stayed there permanently. Some Ithorians such as the Oracle were compelled to go down to the planet surface, however, as they "heard the call" of Mother Jungle, the Ithorian religion's personification of Ithor's world-spanning jungle. The surface of the planet of Ithor played host to numerous plants, including the bafforr tree, which possessed telepathic capabilities. The planet contained andurite stone, and every three Ithorian years was the center of the Time of Meeting. The planet had many moons in its night sky.
The surface of the planet Ithor was formerly an immense jungle. Following the Ithorian belief in the Law of Life, most Ithorians never actually set foot on their own planet, instead they lived in floating cities above their world called herdships. Only three of their continents had been explored and harvested, the other two never having been touched by Ithorian hands, demonstrating their devout belief in the protection and sustainability of their environment.
Such protectionism toward their environment gave rise to numerous native plants and animals. The bafforr tree was considered semi-sentient and possessed telepathic capabilities and acted as a sort of distributed intellect - the larger the forest was, the higher the collective intellect.
The Ithorians were kind enough to open up part of thier planet to geocachers in an attempt to educate us on the importance of thier environment. The area they opened up to us is a small bafforr tree forest with several different sizes of the semi-sentient tree species. The geocache itself is in the possesion of one of the trees. It is a larger sized micro container that contains only the logbook. It is large enough to hold smaller trade items. You will need to bring your own writing instrument on this journey. The Ithorian chieftains only ask of us to, as we put it, "cache in and trash out" in this particular area. May the Force be with you.
