Biskra is a preindustrial, moderate population world with over a hundred million, but not yet at a billion sophonts in population size.
- As a preindustrial world, this planet cannot yet manufacture enough high-technology resources to support a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
- This world is also the overall capital of an interstellar government with the massive extra trade and prestige associated with that role.
- It is a member of the Old Worlds in the Reach Subsector of Crucis Margin Sector.
- This world-system hosts a Naval Base, usually associated with military starships, which may be located on or off-world.

History & Background (Dossier)
The capital of the Old Worlds is at Biskra, in an artificial city constructed at the North Pole. Although Biskra is Balkanized, all states owe allegiance to the central government and contribute to its running. Dissent is rather low, though internal politics are somewhat ponderous.
World Starport (Sp)
Biskra 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.
