History & Background (Dossier)

Alverik was settled in the days of the First Imperium. The Long Night was very hard on Alverik -- without offworld trade, even survival was in doubt. The population crashed, and technology was forgotten by the small bands of nomads or mountain villagers who struggled to make a life for themselves.

The Third Imperium annexed Alverik more or less in passing, during the Pacification Campaigns, and was surprised to find people living here.

World Starport

Alverik has a Class A Starport, an excellent 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 other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

The construction of the starport brought new prosperity to Alverik. The Downport is home to a number of starship-related businesses. There are extensive repair and construction yards, specialising in small military and civilian vessels of a utilitarian nature. General Products owns some of the yards, at which it builds an endless stream of Patrol Cruisers and Mercenary Cruisers for the Imperial Navy and private clients.

The Highport is a large installation, but many visitors feel that it lacks character. Everything is middle-of-the-road and inoffensive, mainly a result of endless wrangling between investors over various aspects of the design.
