Was renowned amongst the other Spacer worlds for it's variety and excellence of robot models exporting specialised robots to all the other Spacer worlds. It also boasted a delicacy known as Pachinkas. In c4920AD, Solaria withdrew completely from the affairs of the Galaxy and over a period of tens of thousands of years evolved into a race of hermaphrodites and reduced its population to a mere 1200. Solarians also evolved small transducer lobes, about the size of a hen's egg, which are activated by the flow of heat. They could be used to control objects, at a distance, by thought. A process known as mental transduction.
