・・・ the planet in the for ((moflotteries)) in the framework of various activities.

Sorry for my posting this again.
This term appears in a science fiction story, and only this term is described in red, so it is not typo.
I would like to know how it is translated.
Please advise me.

Katalin Horváth McClure Mar 19, 2012:
Clarification, please "the planet in the for" - could you double check if this is really what is written in the original? "in the for" does not sound correct English.

"moflotteries" (moflottery) looks like a made-up word, therefore I doubt there is a standard translation for it. If this word is a name of some imaginary species, and you can find out their characteristics, perhaps you can create a similar made-up name in Japanese. Otherwise, you can opt for just transcribing it in katakana.
But first, I would carefully check the source text for typos and other problems, perhaps missing text, scanning and OCR errors, etc.

form of lotteries

It looks to me like it should be "form of lotteries" (くじ引きの形で).
It would be easier to say with more context.

Thanks for your help! Probably you are right. I thought it is not typo.
