History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
The third of the three initially colonized worlds, Amondiage is an arid world with little in the way of riches or resources. Ruled by a charismatic dictatorship, it has emphasized exploitation of its main colony, at Acadie (Reft 2225), as a source of minerals and raw materials. [2]

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.

Urbanization[edit]
The arcologies of the planet are widely separated, but linked by highspeed Maglev rail systems. Grav transport is available for the wealthy or those on government business, but most citizens remain in their home arcology and use the excellent internal public transportation system. Each arcology has a governor, who maintains his own council of advisors. This is usually a four-member council, but the actual membership varies.

World Government (G)[edit]

World Law (L)[edit]
Amondiage has a high law level with laws covering many areas of interactions of people, corporations, and the government. A few worlds with this law level may be Amber Zones.

Legal proceedings can take weeks to months to resolve and involve a dozen or more people. All objects specifically manufactured as weapons are typically regulated or prohibited (outside private residences or visiting starships).
