History & Background / Dossier[edit]

The Murians don't have a direct name for their homeworld, referring to it by indirect and euphemistic means. Humans have named the world Arcturus, given the vaguely bear-like appearance of the natives. This shouldn't be confused with the Arcturus star system of the Solomani Rim Sector.

Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.
