History & Background / Dossier
One of the most populated worlds in the subsector (though falling far short of Uggi directly across the Solomani border), Stratonimbus, despite its pleasant name, is a rather polluted world. The intense local industry and 3 billion inhabitants have taken their toll on the environment, tainting the atmosphere and water.
World Starport
Stratonimbus has a Class E Starport, a frontier quality installation with few 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 a downport.
