Homestead (TR 1715) is a low-population world with a population of less than 10,000 sophonts in size.

• This world has yet to take off economically or otherwise and the population remains low for reasons largely unknown.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Sindal Subsector of Trojan Reach Sector.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

The small amounts of water available on this world are in balance with the very low population size. Though not a desert world, much of the flora is similar to that found on truly arid planets.

The night skies of Homestead are beautiful -- shot through by "shooting stars" from the ring of debris that surrounds the planet.

History & Background (Dossier)

Homestead was formerly part of the Sindalian Empire, and this history continues to echo in the culture's folkways two thousand years later. Peror, the Homesteaders’ deity, is derived from memories of the Emperor of Sindal and a common greeting invokes the "Star Guard".

The government uses education to allocate sophonts to a societal class based on their ability and skill, in theory. In reality, certain protections built into the system often prevent upward mobility based on the level of ability and skill of those at lower levels. Similar mechanisms in relation to the environmental conditions, in addition to the population's extreme xenophobia, minimize the potential for growth.

Trade practices are extremely restrictive, affected by their societal norms. The lack of any codified laws is problematic to any visitors who are unaware of culturally developed rules, similar in some ways to a commonwealth law. The residents of this world are not prone to sharing their ways with outsiders, which results in a marked disadvantage for outsiders.
