Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

History & Background (Dossier)

Bruhkarri settlers arrived here in 439. The world was appealing, despite the downsides of high gravity and powerful storms due to the dense atmosphere.

World Starport

Katanga 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.

World Government

The Instruments of State rule in the name of the Emperor. Chief Instruments, who are ministers of various bureaus, are effectively autonomous rulers of their departments but are constrained by procedure and a culture of consensus from pursuing divisive policies.

World Culture

Close ties with family and local community are prized. Outsiders tend to be treated with a taciturn suspicion.
