Hugus is a nonindustrial world, that requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.

  • In a technological universe, societies without industrial capability generally suffer as nearly all manufactured and high tech goods must be brought in at significant cost.
  • As a nonindustrial world, it requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.
  • It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Nullia Subsector of Hinterworlds Sector.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

In the 1110s, Hugus accepted offers of technology infusion from the Nullian League, and a large cut of tariffs from any trade that came along Beyerly's Path from the Old Expanses Sector. Hugus also supported Nullian aggression against Riies, having seen its larger rival as an impediment to its own development.

Hugus 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.
