Strange Old Worlds

I want to run a space game with starships, aliens and strange old worlds to explore.

Hagelwah is the first decent name. I reset the page after copying that last line... There's a 64% chance of an alien homeworld to explore- 6%, that pretty much nails it!

Hagelwah is the place of the hagel, which is what the locals call themselves in the most advanced region of the planet, the southeast end of the largest continent down in the southern hemisphere.

I wanted some random numbers and the largest continent was 28 m. km^2, separated from the others by an ocean of 44 m. km^2. One of 14 m . km^2 lies northeast on the equator and another of 7 m. km^2 directly to the East. There are at least two other big oceans (79, 39) and a bunch of smaller land masses, smaller than 7 m. km^2. 49 m. km^2 of land is only about a third of the land, so a lot of small island continents like Australia?! Or maybe less land altogether? How about a bakers' dozen island continents between 1 and 7 m. km^2, adds up to about half the land area on a slightly smaller world. There are about three hundred m. km^2 more ocean as well, for a world with about 87% of the surface area and just a little less gravity, barely noticeable.

I still haven't described the hagel, not turtles and not centauroids, which is pretty much my usual suspects. Hmm, how about snapdragons, carnivorous plants which evolved to trap, kill or otherwise gather up food. They replanted themselves into containers which they drag or roll around.
