Mainworld Data
Although Pador is technically a desert world (there is no free-standing surface water) the whole of the surface is heavily vegetated. The atmospheric taint is caused by an extremely low humidity. Breathing the air without protective equipment dries and inflames the lining of the respiratory tract and leads to severely irritated sinuses, irritated eyes, and skin problems; long-term exposure results in blindness and respiratory failure.
Mainworld Geography & Topography
The surface of Pador is divided into Highland regions (equivalent to continental landmasses) and Lowland regions (equivalent to oceanic basins). There are less Highland regions than Lowland - the ratio is approximately 40% / 60%.
Native Lifeforms
Pador has extensive and abundant native life, and almost every part of its surface is heavily vegetated - only the frigid polar zones truly resemble a desert. There are distinct differences between the flora and fauna native to Highland regions and Lowland regions.
History & Background / Dossier
Pador is a long-settled system in the rimward half of Far Home Sector. It has been inhabited for millennia and has a population of 5 billion. It is self-sufficient in food, it is industrialised, and is one of the most technologically advanced worlds within the Distant Fringe. Padoran-built starships are highly sought after.
World Starport
Pador 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.
