Uzotssaza is more technologically advanced than most worlds in Dzen Aeng Kho. Uzotssaza's 12,000 inhabitants live in a small complex orbing the world. The planet's atmosphere is both thin and tainted., so life in a controlled space environment is simpler than life on the surface would be.

The entire complex is fully automated, a condition that has reduced the general health of the Vargr who live there. Conditions are so pleasant that the Uzotssazans have developed a philosophy of lazy hedonism: if it feels good, do it, but don't do it too much.

The permanent residents have gone flab, and any physical exertion is frowned upon as ostentatious. The settings for the station's artificial gravity have been turned lower and lower over the years, so that most of the residents live in entirely weightless conditions. This further impairs their muscular development.

Today, even in the weightless environment, most residents wear zero-G maneuvering equipment in personal harnesses. These devices are not meant to simplify travel around the station as much as they are meant to further reduce any strenuous activity.
