====The Dark Age====
During the [[Dark Age]] the Bahari Bay region was a popular tourist site, and the large agricultural fields located around the bay and Falconville City were dedicated to supporting the tourism industry. The Husfa Desert was known for a number of annual endurance races held there, while the Tamash Jungle's diverse range of wildlife—both predator and prey—made it a popular destination for adventurous hunters.{{cn}}

The abundant resources on Kal continued to attract interest during this era, and a number of mining companies waged covert property-rights wars over the various resources. A similar hotspot of activity was the Alberton Woods on Ram, the bulk of which had been declared a protected zone by planetary officials; despite the protected status of the woods, the number of rangers employed to protect and patrol it wasn't sufficient and the rangers were vastly outnumbered.{{cn}}

Achernar is a temperate world; the continents have vast carpets of lush plant life and are dotted with large patches of thick woods. There are also a number of open plains and deserts to be found on the surface; most of the dry landmasses on the planet lie more than 2,000 meters above sea level.{{cn}}

The continents of Achernar include Acul, Dilma, Eridanus, Kal, Neswa, Ram, South Raviri and North Raviri. Acul lies in the southern hemisphere, north of the Cruel Sea, and is divided almost evenly in half by a range of mountains known as the Akron Mountain Range.
