Anther is a non-agricultural and nonindustrial vacuum world, which warrants hazardous environment precautions.

• Life in a vacuum requires great discipline. After all, it only takes one forgotten seal on a vacuum suit to spell death. Those who survive tend to be very methodically-minded and attentive to small detail.
• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.
• It is unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
• It has few prospects for economic development.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Chant Subsector of Core Sector in the Domain of Sylea.
• This world has an Imperial Naval Base, capable of handling warships.
• During the Long Night this world was known as Shaashsha.

Description (Planetology)

The system has poor resources but is strategically located on the Sylean Main and has five gas giants, which makes wilderness refuelling easy for visiting Travellers.

Mainworld Topography and Geography

The world's landscape is an attractive one.

• Tall towers shoot up from the ground, and then at heights anywhere from 30 to 100 meters up they spread out like mushrooms, drooping down toward the ground.
• Over time, the structures eventually do reach the ground, forming an enclosed dome under which terraforming can be performed.
• On some towers, several domes spread out from different levels, creating concentric circles on the ground. Different areas of a complex can thus be used for different purposes, with farming in one, manufacturing in another, and recreation in a third.
• Since livable ground under the domes are precious, many inhabitants still live under the towers themselves, or in the attached "ceilings" of the domes.

History & Background (Dossier)

A non-agricultural, non-industrial vacuum world in Chant Subsector in the Core Sector.

The Achenaar Antilles Line has opened up a hub at Anther from which they have plans to reinvigorate trade on the trailing spur of the Sylean Main.

World Starport (St)

Anther 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.

• There is an associated Imperial Naval Base, hosting elements of the 2nd Fleet.
