History & Background / Dossier

"Nooq" is Gurvin for "sphere" -- see Nooq Sector, named for the construct housing the Inheritor race. This world's name is thus something akin to "Deru Sphere" or Deru Globe". Deru is the charismatic dictator currently in charge here (government code A). The planet has become wealthy due to Deru's trade policies.

Not only does Deru Nooq have an A-class starport, so do its colonies at Baren and Tsent. The almost frantic expansion of the planet's trade fleet is responsible for the wealth of these systems.

Deru is in competition with the influential Star Patterns Trading, which controls its own A-class starports at nearby Star Harvest (Spica 2518) and Star Hub (Spica 1722).

World Starport

Deru Nooq has a Class A Starport, an excellent quality installation which includes all the expected amenities including refined fuel for starships, brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing annual maintenance, overhauls and other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.
