769-422 (world)/Alston's World

769-422 is an extra-Imperial system in Five Sisters Subsector.

Description

The mainworld, called variably Alston's World or Donnos, has a thin but breathable atmosphere and surface water. There is no indigenous land fauna, but the seas contain various shelled crawler and mollusk lifeforms.

The local population is spread in a number of small self-governing communities with population 5 to 250 or so called Steads or Holds. There is no starport per se, but landing and trading rights can presumably be negotiated with Steads.

There is no starport as such, but various Steads will negotiate for landing and trade rights. Imported goods will be exceptionally expensive on Donnos, with the system being 5 jump-2s through the wilds of District 268 to Collace, the closest high population, developed system. Freight rates can therefore be estimated at Cr 10 000 per dton from Collace to 769-422.

Given the presence of ready supplies of life support materials, it can be presumed that small Belter communities exist in 769-422's Outsystem.

History & Background (Dossier)

One jump-2 from the Imperial Navy base at Raweh, 769-422 is seeing the first stirrings of expansion and development. IISS records do not record the ethnographic history of the inhabitants of 769-422.

Following the end of the Fifth Frontier War, the first stirrings of economic development is beginning to be seen in Five Sisters subsector. The 769-522 system has gas giants and asteroid belts, but has never been comprehensively surveyed by the IISS.
