History and Background[edit]

Adaim has always played second fiddle to Imau, Ikiir and the other naval bases in the subsector as its role has always been one of support, training and minor repair of the crews and craft housed at these other bases. When new personnel or ships arrive in Old Suns, they come here first for their shakedown.

World Starport (St)[edit]

Adaim has a Class B Starport, a good quality installation which includes all the expected amenities including refined fuel for starships, brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing annual maintenance, overhauls and most kinds of repair, and construction of non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

Linguistic Topography: 1105[edit]

The following languages are among the most commonly heard here:

Urbanization[edit]

The one and only city on the planet, Lumaine, has a reputation for wild revelry when naval crews get their shore leave. The city is home to about 65,000 inhabitants mainly supporting the naval presence, although there are a few, independent prospectors and miners.
