	Pern - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pern is a fictional planet in the universe created by science fiction writer Anne McCaffrey for her Dragonriders of Pern series of novels.
		Pern is subject to periodic attack from space by the destructive Thread, a spaceborne spore that destroys everything organic it touches.
		Pern is host to a number of invertebrate species, including the insect-like trundlebugs, rollers (analogous to a woodlouse), VTOLS (a kind of fly) and springs (a kind of parasite).

	Dragonriders of Pern - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dragonriders are an elite class, chosen for their ability to communicate with the giant sentient dragons, bred by the early Earth-colonizers of Pern to chew firestone and burn in the air the deadly mycorrhizoid spore Thread that periodically rain down on the planet due to the orbit of the Red Star.
		The social structure on Pern is strictly divided between Hold, Hall and Weyr--broadly comparable to the medieval triune of Nobility, Guild and Church (in that order)--and is considered by the Pernese themselves to be an ideal organization specifically meant to avoid the violence and excess of their Terran ancestors.
		Pern created an interesting example in that it is an agrarian society portrayed without a considerable organized religion.

		Lessa is the star of the series; it's her journey and the audience is going to view the world of Pern through her.
		For the fans of the Pern books, it's not going to be the way they envisioned her, but if you watch the series you will recognize it.

	An Introduction to Anne McCaffrey's Pern
		Pern is an earth-like planet settled by humans who wished to escape a war-torn, space-faring society by setting up a low-tech agrarian colony in a remote sector of the galaxy.
		The structure of Pern's society developed over the years to one well-suited to support the dragons and riders, freeing them to protect the planet's population from Threadfall.
		The return of the Red Star threatens disaster for Pern, unless a strong-willed woman can be found before the last golden egg hatches, and a young, visionary man can find a way to unite and lead his fellow dragonriders.

		During a conversation with Valerie Davis (she who authors The JAVE) I discovered that while I found the game to be languid and repetitive, she found it to be refreshing and full of life.
		Randy: If Dragonriders: Chronicles of Pern (DCOP) serves no other purpose, it again proves that the overall quality of computer and video games are still light years beyond a well-written novel or movie.

		So the bold dragonriders took to the air once more and their magnificent flying dragons swirled and swooped, belching flames that destroyed the shimmering strands before they reach the ground.
		For generations, the dragonriders had dedicated their lives to fighting Thread, the dreaded spores that periodically rained from the sky to ravage the land.
		But the greatest dream of the dragonriders was to find a way to eradicate Thread completely, so that never again would their beloved Pern be threatened with destruction.

	Anne McCaffrey, Dragonflight, Dragonriders of Pern (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern series is a classic of fantasy, bringing together dragons (favorites of fantasy readers), danger to an entire world, and characters that are both stimulating and enchanting.
		Dragonriders are reviled and seen as parasites on society -- and no one believes that Thread will return, except for F'lar, one of the few remaining dragonriders.
		However, it is not until experiencing their first Threadfall that they realize how woefully unprepared the Weyr is. Despite the best efforts of everyone on Pern, and the lucky mistake that teaches dragonriders how to travel through time, there are still not enough men or dragons to protect all of Pern.

		Dragonriders is hardly a terrible game, but it has its share of issues and won't appeal to a large group of gamers.
		Through the development of Dragonriders: Chronicles of Pern, Ubi Soft in fact made the unlikely choice of creating an adventure game based on the saga, though the quality of its execution is open to some debate.
		However, a passing comet brings a new enemy to Pern in the form of the Thread, an amorphous enemy that periodically falls from the skies and devours all organic matter in its path.

	Dragonriders of Pern
		Thread, a mindless lifeform brought into Pern's orbit by the wandering Red Star, devours all organisms and is able to totally strip a cow - or human - in hardly any time at all.
		Already able to breathe fire and bond empathically with their owners, the new fire-lizards are able to speak clearly with their riders and are bigger than horses, designed to grow slightly with each generation until they are about 40 metres long.
		Christened 'dragons' for their similarity to the creatures of Terran myth, the dragons and their riders are all that stand between Pern and oblivion.

		No, telekinesis is not a draconic ability in DR. It was AIVAS who pushed the dragons to develop new abilities and skills that would rid Pern of Thread, and also allow dragons and their riders to find a new way of life after the Pass.
		The technology level of Pern in the Ninth Pass is figured to be approximately late 1700's to early 1800's, so the value of the Mark in this work has been figured on the value of what the dollar was then.
		Pern is a warmer planet than Earth, so Earth climate-latitude relationships do not necessarily hold true for Pern.

		The original resentment smoldering between the dragonmen and the rest of Pern’s inhabitants was only temporarily eased by the need for everyone to work together during the frantic first days of Thread’s return.
		Her description of the discovery and impression of fire-lizards, distant relatives to the dragons, is especially intriguing.
		Both the dragonriders and the Lord Holders are interested in developing the land from which their ancestors are believed to have originated.

		DragonRiders is very much a mixture of genres, perhaps with the emphasis on adventure although it is so story and conversation driven (rather than puzzle driven) it slips beyond adventuring and moves into the realms of an interactive story book.

		When men first settled on Rukbat's third planet and called it Pern, they had taken little notice of the stranger planet, swinging around its adopted primary in a wildly erratic orbit-- until the desperate path of the wanderer brought it close to its stepsister at perihelion.
		When such aspects were harmonious, and not distorted by conjunctions with other planets in the system, the wanderer brought in a life form that sought to bridge the space gap to the more temperate and hospitable planet.
		However, in both Holds and Weyrs, there were masses of reports, journals, maps, and charts to remind the Lords and Weyrleaders of the problem; and much advice to assist their descendants when next the rogue planet approached Pern and how to prepare for the incursion.
