History and background
Records from the Second Imperium show this world was inhabited by Chirpers.
Shadia is the first world on the Silk Road branch of the Dagudashaag Main. As four of the five worlds to trailing have a total population of less than 100 thousand, the volume of trade through the system is small and the main world has only rudimentary starport facilities.
With a harsh sub-zero climate Shaida was colonized as the most habitable base to exploit the system's five sparse planetoid belts. Prospecting in fusion-rocket seekers, the large belter community supports the majority of the population.
The families of the belters can be identified by their common use of surgically implanted respirators. Given the dangerous nature of the prospecting cybernetic prosthetic are common and cyborgs are easily accepted.
In addition to the predominantly human inhabitants there are 2.6 million chirpers on Shaida. Imported centuries before as slave labor, most chirpers today tend hydroponic farms, providing the bulk of Shaida's food needs. Although not citizens chirpers are well treated.
