History & Background (Dossier)

Walston's starport and the relatively hospitable environment makes it a popular stopover point on the Bowman Arm. The planet's subsistence-based economy depends largely on aquaculture and more conventional agriculture.

The only inhabited region of the planet is Settlement Island, which includes the capital at Central Lake. Approximately 90% of Walston's population are Vargr who settled after the Fourth Frontier War, but the government is ruled by a human elite and the Vargr are treated as distinctly second-class citizens.
