History & Background (Dossier)

Galores is being developed with the intent of creating an industrial powerhouse within the Confederation.

• Its extracted resources currently form the major part of bulk cargos moving to trailing, along the Oujda Trade.
• This trade is vital in paying for the Trooles Confederation Navy.
• As industrial infrastructure continues to grow on the world, more of its resources are being channeled inward, to meet domestic requirements.

World Starport (St)

Galores has a Class B Starport, a good 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 most kinds of repair, and construction of non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

• This world is controlled from Isbelra, the capital of the Confederation.
• Galores is considered such an important asset that it is administered directly by the interstellar state's government.

• Local militias complement the Confederation units.

World Law (L)

Galores has a high law level with laws covering many areas of interactions of people, corporations, and the government. A few worlds with this law level may be Amber Zones. Any interaction with the judicial system requires an Advocate trained in the local legal system. Law enforcement is present almost everywhere, either as people or via technology. Legal proceedings can take weeks to months to resolve and involve a dozen or more people. All objects specifically manufactured as weapons are typically regulated or prohibited (outside private residences or visiting starships).
