History & Background (Dossier)
World Starport (St)
Grubstake 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.

- This is a Nonindustrial World, too small to support the complete chain of production of most goods from start to finish.

World Government (G)
Grubstake has no central government for the world, an Anarchy. The largest governmental structure would be a family, tribe, or single clan. The largest group will be between 50 and 100 individuals, and there may be dozens to hundreds of them. This governmental structure can be stable over long periods of time if the population remains small or geographically separated.
World Law (L)

For interactions outside of the framework of the laws, cultural norms dominate.
