Wellett is an agricultural world.

• As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.

• Humans make up around 95% of the population.

History & Background (Dossier)

New Era

Coupled with their control of Oikah (Vanguard Reaches 2235) (known as Dryburab to Humans) and majority control of Aulisohai (Vanguard Reaches 2039) (known as Hoatzin to Humans) and Hohwah (Vanguard Reaches 2237) (formerly Bursk), the Aokhalte, Ouokhoi and Hlaotiyoiho clans control most of the subsector's population, industrial base and mineral wealth. But the bloc's bid for unconditional control of the subsector has come under increasing challenge from the Seieakh clan in neighboring Iphigenaia.

World Starport (St)

Wellett 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.
