 The warm climate of Lopanga proved well suited to agriculture.  An eccentric but brilliant genetic engineer named Otto de Lanseur settled in Epiphyte and established an agricultural research center. His research and teachings helped to further expand Lopanga's agricultural output, and it soon exceeded that of Inaria.  Although Lopanga lacks the industrial infrastructure and manufacturing base of Inaria, the region is not poor: it is considered by many recoms to be the "Breadbasket of Recom Space". The warm climate of Lopanga proved well suited to agriculture.  An eccentric but brilliant genetic engineer named Otto de Lanseur settled in Epiphyte and established an agricultural research center.

 +Dr. de Lanseur's research also led to one of the true oddities of Lopanga, the species of plant people known as [[Odontonian]]s.  He began with a native species of mobile, semi-sentient plants (referred to as "trifids" by early settlers) and heavily modified them to create an intelligent humanoid species.  Odontonians do not mix much with other recoms, and tend to stay in their villages.
  
 Until recently, Lopanga Colony was merely a name rather than any sort of organized political structure.  The Kemetic Church, cities and villages, and nomadic tribes all largely minded their own business, while the Coalition still formally claimed to have authority over the entire planet.  Growing tensions between the two continents led the Coalition to impose a naval blockade, preventing starships from landing on Lopanga.  The various factions of Lopanga responded by banding together and forming the [[Lopanga Confederacy]].  They then hired a band of space pirates, the [[Seventh Wave]], to act as their space navy and break the blockade.  The [[Annyrion Civil War]] ended without any shots fired, and the Coalition is no longer pressing its claim over Lopanga at this time. Until recently, Lopanga Colony was merely a name rather than any sort of organized political structure.  The Kemetic Church, cities and villages, and nomadic tribes all largely minded their own business, while the Coalition still formally claimed to have authority over the entire planet.  Growing tensions between the two continents led the Coalition to impose a naval blockade, preventing starships from landing on Lopanga.  The various factions of Lopanga responded by banding together and forming the [[Lopanga Confederacy]].  They then hired a band of space pirates, the [[Seventh Wave]], to act as their space navy and break the blockade.  The [[Annyrion Civil War]] ended without any shots fired, and the Coalition is no longer pressing its claim over Lopanga at this time.

The city is a mix of slums and more affluent areas. The rule of law is not strong here; most residents choose to go about armed. In lieu of a police force, the organized crime group, the [[Ghueri]], seek to maintain stabilityTrade, nonetheless, proceeds by land, air, space, and on the shallow waterway. Epiphyte features Kemetic temple, the offices of the Lopanga governmenta small spaceport with airship docking pylon, and river docks. Other sights include a stone circle (presumably of southern Eisshari origin) and the remains of an colony shipIn 2211the city suffered an invasion and was held for a time by a force of military-grade robots before the Seventh Wave freed the city.
