Lurammish is an icy, non-agricultural and preindustrial world, whose surface is ice-capped and with nearly all of its water frozen.
- It is unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
- It is a world working toward being an industrial powerhouse but lacks an adequate workforce to do so. It must now import many of its manufactured and high tech goods.
- It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Caledon Subsector of Reaver's Deep Sector in the Domain of Ilelish.
- This world contains an Imperial Scout Base, capable of handling IISS starships and personnel.
Description / Astrography & Planetology
The world is part of the Khakhan Track.

Mainworld Data
Remarks: Lurammish is an unattractive world orbiting a class M subgiant (and a smaller companion) at a distance of over 7 billion kilometers. It is an unpleasant place, with a trace atmosphere and an unpleasantly cold surface temperature. Nonetheless, it supports a sizable colony. Originally Lurammish was a rather small mining community, but it has grown over the four centuries since it was settled to become a substantial frontier settlement.
The reason for the success of the colony is the presence of large lanthanum deposits. The abundance of lanthanum ore on Lurammish has made the colony wealthy.
Mainworld Atmosphere
Lurammish has a pressure of less than 0.1 atmospheres which requires the use of a Vacc Suit. TL–8 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

Point of Interest: Lurammish Arcologies
The Lurammish colony is concentrated in a cluster of large arcologies, huge buildings housing over half a million people each. For the hostile environment of the world, the arcologies are a logical solution to problems of life support, housing, and similar considerations.
- Each arcology is individually ruled through a caste hierarchy of technicians and administrators, with a network of duties and obligations reminiscent of feudal ties of fealty.
- The overall world government is conducted by a grand council representing each individual arcology in an essentially democratic form of government, but the grand council makes decisions only when the outcomes are to effect more than one community.
History & Background (Dossier)
Up until recently, all mining on Lurammish was conducted by locals and exported; within the past decade however, Ling-Standard Products has begun exerting pressure to operate lanthanum mines independently, a move which threatens the planetary economy. In response to protests and cross-claims of sabotage and harassment, the IISS Scout Base recently underwent expansion to provide barracks for a battalion of Marine peacekeepers. This seems to have diluted, at least temporarily, the buildup of tension.
World Starport (St)
Lurammish has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which includes amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.
