Terrain
|
| Most of Carshoulis Prime has been built over by cityscape. Though not as developed as Duros or Coruscant, the city centers of the planet are immense, dominating hundreds of kilometers. Set amidst these massive cities in a curious contrast are nature sanctuaries and preserves, featuring beautiful tree groves, scenic vistas, and more. These preserves are usually the playthings of the wealthy, and where the elite classes go to spend free time, to hunt prey, and relax. They are carefully maintained and stocked with food animals year-round.
The landscape is usually gently-contoured, with mostly plains and rolling hills. There are beautiful coasts and beaches, extending into numerous archipelagos that are less built-up than the main continents. Again, the wealthy classes seek these islands out for their own private retreats.

Fauna
|
| Much of the bio-diversity of Carshoulis Prime has been eradicated due to overdevelopment of the super cities. Concerted efforts, however, have been taken to transplant nearly all of the planet's nurturing abundance of life on most of the Cizerack colony worlds. The oceans teem with a dizzying array of mollusks, seabirds, and fish, including the raala, nuucha, and nila-nila, all staples of the Cizerack diet.
The land-based fauna include the taaika, a popular game deer. The Kaatho bison is far larger and more robust, and was historically used by ancient Cizerack as beasts of burden. Modern Kaatho bison are eaten on festivals, where they are slaughtered in public and portioned off to the lower classes. Nyaakii are a poisonous bird native to the tropic zones, but their unhatched chicks are sometimes eaten as a delicacy and aphrodesiac.
Sajoi, ever-popular food rodents aren't native to Carshoulis, but have been imported and encouraged to reproduce at a prodigious rate, to the point where they're a sustainable food item, even given the felinoids' voluminous taste for the animals. Similarly, other popular food creatures in the galaxy such as thimiarr from planet Shili, nala tree frogs, and gorgs have been imported, and thrive as introduced species.
Carshoulis Prime, nor any of the colony worlds, have any apex predators. These were hunted into extinction by the Cizerack, who viewed any large predator not as a threat to themselves, but as unneeded competition for food sources. The ecosystem of Carshoulis, and therefore the colonies, has been manicured so that at least 80% of the fauna are desirably edible live food.

Society
|
| Carshoulis Prime is the cultural seat of the Cizerack Pride, and as such, it exemplifies the virtues held in regard by the race as a whole. Society on the homeworld is dominated by a matriarchal and speciesist caste system, ensuring that women of pure Cizerack heritage hold the positions of greatest prominence on the planet. Males cannot own land, vote, or enjoy a wide array of civil rights that are available to women. In addition, half-breeds are afforded little positions of status, if ever. Non-Cizerack, or forrda, are second class citizens throughout the Pride, and on Carshoulis, they are given very few chances of success. Often, due to labor needs, they are recruited from outside the Cluster to work in the Pride, but they work longer hours and for much less pay than the equivalent Cizerack worker would.

Government
|
| Carshoulis Prime houses the top echelons of the Cizerack Pride's government, including the Matriarchal Monarch, the Pride Mother, or Sor'Rrou'Fai. Her first manservant, the Emissary, or Sor'Arr'Fai, often acts as the executor of her edicts and commands, and is one of the few males given an [i]extensive[/i]
