	'''Qerrbalak''' is the fourth planet from Nralakk, and the homeworld of the skrell species. One of two habitable planets within the Nralakk system, Qerrbalak is roughly 1.8 times the size of Earth, and has a similarly oxygen-rich atmosphere. [[Skrell History\|Skrell history]] begins and centers around the planet, having been the capital of the Commonwealth of the Three, and the capital of both iterations of the [[Nralakk Federation]]. Modern Qerrbalak’s industrial pollution and climate damage was repaired and its effects minimized through terraforming and ecological policies, hoping to maintain its reputation as the idyllic, warm homeworld. The city of Kal’lo is the capital of the Nralakk Federation and Qerrbalak itself, being the annual point of convergence for the Grand Council.

	Due to industrial restrictions on Qerrbalak from ecological safeguards, it lacks notable exports or production. Most of the planet’s population are Primary Numericals, Idols, and the remaining native communities that remain preserved or isolated. Currently, Qerrbalak’s dependence on imports and outsourced industrial production has resulted in a growing crisis in the light of phoron scarcity, as the capital world remains reluctant to become self-sufficient in order to protect its ecology and image.

	* '''Noni-Qii:''' Also called a Sky-grazer in Basic, the noni-qii is a type of avian fauna that inhabits the skies of Qerrbalak. The species is infamous due to its pest-like nature, being described as rats with wings by Skrell living in human space~~. They are capable of reaching up to 1 meter (3 feet)~~ and ~~weighing up to 7 kilogrammes (15.4 pounds)~~. Noni-qii are considered a pest thanks to their reputation with farmers, and are known to readily eat crops such as dyn or wulumunusha in their entirety. After the near-extinction of the species in '''1622 CE''', the Federation began a programme to increase their numbers once again - prompting a revival of the species that continues to prey on the Skrell plantations. The species has not been intentionally released onto other planets, but they have been known to spread out across the Federation in transport ships. Federation authorities work closely with the border authorities of their neighbours to ensure that Noni-Qii do not spread outside of the Federations borders.		* '''Noni-Qii:''' Also called a Sky-grazer in Basic, the noni-qii is a type of avian fauna that inhabits the skies of Qerrbalak.

	* '''Dyn:''' An ancient plant first found along the river deltas of Qerrbalak, dyn has been domesticated by the Skrell for much of their history. Plantations can typically be found in various lakes, bogs and marshes that grow hundreds of kilometres worth of the plant. Dyn is typically used to create various drinks, or peeled and then mashed in order to create a delightful meal known as '''Jyalra'''. Dyn is typically the first seeds planted in colonies, and has become a staple part of [[Skrell Cuisine]].		* '''Dyn:''' An ancient plant first found along the river deltas of Qerrbalak, dyn has been domesticated by the Skrell for much of their history.

	* '''Wulumunusha:''' A plant with mild psychotropic properties, wulumunsha naturally grows in alpine climates, typically closer to the poles of the Homeworld. With roughly only a dozen or so plantations dedicated to the growth of the plant across the Federation (barring the planet of Waughai), which results in prices tending to skyrocket when out of season. It is used by both [[Skrell Faith\| Qeblak]] and [[Skrell Faith\| Weishii]] followers, and is said to unlock barriers to both Nlom and Srom. Outside of religious usage, Wulumunusha has a reputation of being a mild recreational drug that typically makes the user mute while under its effects.		* '''Wulumunusha:''' A plant with mild psychotropic properties, wulumunsha naturally grows in alpine climates, typically closer to the poles of the Homeworld.

	Much of the city’s architecture is built on top of what’s named ‘Old Qerr’wesi’, with whole buildings and roadways carved into the sea trenches. The ‘higher’ parts of the city are considered premium real estate by its inhabitants, with residential areas built on top of the city’s trenches being reserved for those of a high [[Skrell_Culture#Social_Credit_System\|~~Societal Contribution~~ Index rating]]. The deeper you go, the less ideal it is to live, with the ocean floor being considered a slum that’s mostly inhabited by tertiaries or low secondaries. Because the city is underwater and more accommodating to Axiori Skrell, the majority of those who live in the lower sections of Qerr’wesi are Axiori Skrell, who are better suited to work in the city’s menial labour force.

	*'''Nral'viq''' - While technically a Federation-wide holiday, [[Skrell_Culture#Nral'viq\|Nral’viq]] or '''Federation Week''' has a unique aspect directly linked to Qerrbalak; ‘Origin’ is the name given to the annual pilgrimage many Skrell perform as part of the Nral’viq celebrations, with most of Qerrbalaks revenue from tourism coming from pilgrims visiting Qerrbalaks beaches.		*'''Nral'viq''' - While technically a Federation-wide holiday, [[Skrell_Culture#Nral'viq\|Nral’viq]] or '''Federation Week''' has a unique aspect directly linked to Qerrbalak; ‘Origin’ is the name given to the annual pilgrimage many Skrell perform as part of the Nral’viq celebrations, with most of Qerrbalaks revenue from tourism coming from pilgrims visiting Qerrbalaks beaches.

	*'''Haqm’maaq''' - Taking place in the last month of Qerrbalaks Qu-Paalq season, the holiday is more of a competition, being known on Qerrbalak colloquially as '''The Tadpole Trials'''. The Federation organises regional competitions for younger Skrell to participate in, with the regional winners participating in a grand final in the capital of Kal’lo. The winner of the final is awarded a large increase to their ~~social credit score~~, while their parents are also similarly rewarded. The aim of Haqm’maaq is to promote the idea of parents teaching their children skills outside of what they’d typically learn in school. Subjects of note that contestants will be asked to discuss include philosophy, history, and culture.		*'''Haqm’maaq''' - Taking place in the last month of Qerrbalaks Qu-Paalq season, the holiday is more of a competition, being known on Qerrbalak colloquially as '''The Tadpole Trials'''.
