The Fields of Oranc are one of the few open wilderness areas on the planet Jerzah. Wild vuu can be found here, and their survival is considered of high importance, so the area is closely protected and managed.

The area is one of open grasslands, with a variety of hunting opportunities and is accessed from Janilyn via PTP in Sidwa Luxury Travel.

Because the Shen are vegetarian they would not hunt for the purpose of acquiring meat. Hunting for other products, or for sport? Maybe. They definitely have an interest in protecting wild vuu colonies, so any hunting here is merely for the purposes of protecting the vuu habitat or food source.

On vuu honey: most of the fermented vuu honey comes from high tech factories where the entire product is controlled from beginning to end. They do periodically supplement their vuu populations with wild larvae for hardiness and genetic diversity, so the preservation of wild colonies is important to them. Wild vuu larvae are found underground, beneath the fields of Oranc. The mature form of the vuu is a winged wasp-like adult, which accesses the colonies via mud tubes that jut up from the ground, kind of like anthills.
