Nell is the habitable planet in the Nellrun system. It is a large Earth-like planet with an oxygen-rich atmosphere. Nell has no distinguishable continents, and all the planet's rivers flow into a single ocean in the western hemisphere. On the opposite side of the planet to the ocean is vast, unbroken desert. There are two settlements on the planet, a conventional starport filled with familiar species, and nearby trading post where the people are much more foreign and exotic, and unknown species are commonplace.

This small, decrepit starport has a crane system and a set of carts and rails that lead to a set of warehouses. It also has decent repair facilities, a multi-species medical clinic, and a large underground shelter full of mattresses designated as the public sleeping area, and a waffle diner. There is no fuel station but sometimes ships bring fuel to sell.

The Waffle Hut is a greasy classic-style diner.

The Sleepy Starship is a bar built inside a burned-out starship hull. It is known for its punch bowl. The bartender is a bald Nepleslian man with deep blue eyes. He's packing a Zen Armaments 'Little Killer'.
