Makem Te is an unremarkable, ugly world. Yet its natives have turned it into one of the galaxy's marvels through the sheer stubbornness of faith.
Makem Te is a dry desert planet characterized by crumbling rock and sickly, scrublike plants. It lacks oceans, seas, and lakes, drawing all moisture from underground aquifers that are replenished during torrential rains twice each year. What makes the planet remarkable is the degree to which its native Swokes Swokes have decorated their world using only primitive technology. Cities of solid iron rise from the desert, impossibly delicate in their architecture considering the strength of their manufacture. But the planet's most famous construction in the Tract.
Essentially a giant cemetery, the Tract is a checkerboard of polished stone squares, each supporting a short pillar called a stela. One tile is laid for every fallen Swokes Swokes. The process, which has been going on for millennia, has produced an astonishing 1.2 trillion memorial squares. The Tract currently takes up more than 7 percent of Makem Te's total landmass.
