Horste is an agricultural, nonindustrial, pre-rich garden world with a near-ideal, utopian environment conducive to most sophonts, but still lacks an adequate population to expand its economy to a rich status.

  • As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
  • It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
  • Its economy and population are rapidly growing and living conditions are expected to quickly rise barring outside forces.
  • It is a member of the Lanyard Colonies in the Drinsaar Subsector of Reaver's Deep Sector.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

The Lanyard Colonies were settled around 995 by Solomani fleeing the Solomani Rim War. These worlds had been previously settled by Aslan during the Long Night but were abandoned after the Peace of Ftahalr. Each world was subsequently named in honour of the first ruling Human governor.

World Starport[edit]

Horste has a Class D Starport, a poor quality installation which has few of the expected amenities. There is unrefined fuel for starships and a limited variety of ship provisions. There is no shipyard of any kind, but there may be parts and technical support for doing minor services and repair. Ports of this classification generally consist of only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

Language[edit]

  • Galanglic (specifically, the Rim Galanglic dialect)
