History & Background / Dossier[edit]
Gropie is low in both resources and population, but its position in the same cluster as Border means that the governing corporate nests have a large market for their specialist products.
Given the tentacle-like structures on the limbs of the Hiver race, some Anglic-speaking Solomani in the region refer to Hivers in general as "Gropies".
World Starport[edit]
Gropie has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which includes amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

World Government[edit]
Gropie is governed by a Corporate Polity with a single corporation with a typical corporate structure as a government. A company town, or world. The typical corporate run world usually has a single purpose. Examples include mining, agriculture, or other kinds of resource extraction. But rather than a simple base of operations, there are facilities for housing workers and their families including hospitals, schools, and other infrastructure. How, or if, the children of the workers are incorporated into the workforce varies with companies. The corporation running the world may be a subsidiary of a larger interstellar corporation.
