Non Canon Description
The nature of planetary conditions never lent itself to fixed colonial holdings. The orbital starport and yards service traffic passing through. Megacorporations bid on annual contracts for sending harvesters into the depths to collect natural resources. These are administered at the subsector governmental level. Permenant residents dwell and crew large vessel/habitats. They work in the service industries to cater to the interstellar traffic and scout requirements. Each independent vessel is a government unto themselves. Most of the resource collection operations are submersible to avoid local weather and avoid the atmospheric taint. Life support macinery is an import often in demand. Certain codes and policies are agreed to by captains wishing to operate here. These terms and conditions constitute the local law level. The scouts and marine security details act as enforcement and collect those malcontents who are kicked off their ride. Most operators are company men in one way or another. They tend to their own business and stay out of eachothers way. You can sail for a long time on a planet this size and not meet anyone. The sparse population meets that entertainment media also has a ready market here.
This is a young system and the planet is geologicallly active. Volcanic materials contribute to the tainted atmosphere. In addition the oxygen levels are low because life here has not evolved very far yet. Some of the native microbes produce hazardous metabolic waste products, other organisms are small enough to float airborne and if inhaled pose a health risk. Thick masses of colonial single celled organisms are as far as it goes. Organics can be harvested, they provide the types of biological raw materials that the Vilani prefer. Raw materials and minerals are exploitable. Most deposits are too small to justify the cost of large scale industrial investment. Imported technology allows some measure of comfort but living space is always at a perimum on the travelling machines, irony on a world which such a low population density. The hand full of "permanent" installations are large rig structures that serve as submerged anchor points for service and maintenance of the big machines. Crews tend to rotate off planet when they get the chance. The local economy is limited to some trade and barter of parts and materials as necessary between the smaller operators and crews. Large corporate vessels have their own off world support and logistics shipments, they tend to ignore the little guys.
History & Background (Dossier)
The only terrestrial planet of the five in the system to be in the habitable zone AND have water. The scout service selected it as a base for service and refuelling.
