This is the world in the Sun solar-system where two distinct sexes and slavery are the status quo.

Spec’s:

  • similar to Earth; in terms of dimensions, regions / climate zones, seasons, biodiversity, etc.
  • identical orbital distance and speed to Earth
  • always on the opposite side of the Sun from the Earth; impossible for Earth to ever see/detect
  • possibly slightly-different day-lengths / day-night cycle
  • 3 moons, at least one colorful
  • 1 supercontinent, largely occupied/dominated by imported humans (from Earth and possibly other worlds)
  • population in the millions, if not billions (humans)
  • unknown populations/numbers of the non-human species
  • mobile; can be steered by a high-tech facility in the Sardar Mountains (i.e. the entire planet can be relocated, moved like a rogue-planet –and has been at least once before; to get it into the Sun solar-system)
  • cloak-able; can be kept invisible indefinitely (i.e. just like some spaceships and advanced suits can bend light, etc.)

 

Introduction:

Gor is the planet introduced by its namesake series of novels written by Dr. John Frederick Lange Jr., and it is a special planet because it was manually/artificially migrated into the Sun solar-system, plus because on it… slavery, and very distinct male and female sexes, are the cultural norm –as well as the law.

This is where the term “kajira” comes from; female slave, typically a pleasure-slave, preferably a wholehearted/natural and exquisitely-trained one.

 

History:

Gor’s ancient/original/primordial past is yet to be revealed to us.  What is known so far is that it has existed for millions, if not billions of years, and that it was migrated into the Sun solar-system some million+ Earth-years ago.  Glimpses of its detailed history are mostly about the lives of the humans living in various cities and other areas on its supercontinent, with some other details being about the secret high-tech’ civil war between its Priest-Kings which nearly destroyed it in modern/recent times (~the 1970s, on Earth’s Gregorian calendar).

Further details about its history can be found here.

 

Additional Notes:

Inisfree, shortly after becoming operational, established communication with various leaders from Gor, followed soon thereafter by a formal peace, alliance, and trade agreement.  On a regular basis now, slaves are traded between them and Inisfree.  This is expected (in the good sense of that term) to continue indefinitely; forever.

Due to how compatible so many of the people of this world are, the Inisfreeans have also classified Gor as one of their protectorates.

The King of Inisfree, High King Auz, made at least one fairly-lengthy exploratory trip / expedition to this planet between 2030 and 2090 A.D., returning at least 1 Earth-decade before his Mapping Campaign began.

2024 May:  Diet

omnivores due to habit or necessity and ignorance –and because the stabilization serums meant that many of them never had to figure out the natural way (to stop atrophy/sickness during aging; veganism)
