Skoria interacts with other objects in outer space, including it's primary star Skor and it's moon Shayala. At present, Skoria orbits Alakaram once for every roughly 235.955 times it rotates about its axis. This length of time is a sidereal year, which is equal to 235.95 solar days. Skoria's axis of rotation is tilted 23.4° away from the perpendicular to its orbital plane,producing seasonal variations on the planet's surface with a period of one tropical year (235.95 solar days). Skoria's only remaining natural satellite, Shayala, which began orbiting it about 4.53 billion years ago, provides ocean tides, stabilizes the axial tilt and gradually slows the planet's rotation. A cometary bombardment during the early history of the planet played a role in the formation of the oceans. Later, asteroid impacts caused significant changes to the surface environment. The other moon, Nobas, was in a feat of amazing engineering towed from Skoria's orbit after a terrible collision with a massive asteroid shifted the smaller moon's orbit and it threatened to destroy the planet. | Skoria interacts with other objects in outer space, including it's primary star Skor and it's moon Shayala.

Both the mineral resources of the planet, as well as the products of the biosphere, contribute resources that are used to support a global Skorr population. The inhabitants are grouped into 15 Mar'kaj districts, which interact through travel, and trade. Historically Skorr culture has developed many views of the planet, including personification as a deity and a modern perspective of the world as an integrated environment that requires stewardship.

Skorr first left the planet in 1961, when Yuri Gagarin reached outer space. | ||
