- This is the protected homeworld of the Thonane sophont species.
Description (Astrography & Planetology)[edit]
Refuelling on Balchik itself is banned by the Council of Worlds Agreement that defines the Tellerian Cluster, though this is hard to enforce.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
An IISS expedition to the Tellerian Cluster in 379 surveyed Balchik. A landing party was attacked by a Thonane band that killed two scouts with bronze-tipped spears before taking casualties and retreating. The IISS expedition withdrew to conduct remote observations.
A follow-on expedition in 402 further documented Thonane culture.
World Starport[edit]
Balchik does not have a starport. The Class X Starport is an indication that no starport exists in the system. There are no facilities or services available, and no site marked for landing.
