Adour is an agricultural, nonindustrial world still lacking adequate means to expand its economy.
- 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.
- It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
- It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Peril’s Edge Subsector of Crucis Margin Sector.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
The world is owned by the Adour Corporation, a planetary exploration and exploitation firm operating out of the Mercantile Concord. Offworlders aren't welcome here unless they are visiting to conduct business with the company. The Adour Corporation has created a colony of 400,000 people run by company managers and protected by company security forces. From the base settlements, prospecting teams range across the planet seeking out promising resource sites. The extraction teams then move in and conduct brutally efficient strip-mining operations.
World Starport (St)[edit]
Adour 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.
World Population (P)[edit]
Adour has a population of 500,000 sophonts (hundreds of thousands).
- This is a Nonindustrial World, too small to support the complete chain of production of most goods from start to finish.
- 4/5 of the residents are part of the Adour Corporation colony.

World Government (G)[edit]
Adour is governed by a Representative Democracy where government leadership is by representatives elected by eligible voters. What determines an eligible voter varies. The representatives determine policy, including selecting members of the bureaucracy. There can be referenda, votes by eligible voters on specific subjects.
World Law (L)[edit]
Adour has a moderate level with laws covering many areas of government and interaction. These laws are simple enough that most people can act as their own advocate, though for serious issues a professional is recommended. Law enforcement officials will be present, but not in great numbers. All firearms except shotguns, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.
