Astorga is a nonindustrial fluid world.

  • A fluid world has an oceanic geography consisting of heavily contaminated water or a substance such as ammonia, methane, hydrocarbons, or other exotic liquid.
  • 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 member of the Carrillian Assembly in the Fahlnar Subsector of Reaver's Deep Sector.
  • This world was once known as Dobson.

Description[edit]

Astorga is a wild planet, with violent storms and acid rain common occurrences.

History[edit]

Government and Politics[edit]

Only two rival factions of note remain in the Carrillian Assembly, out of what once were dozens. These are the conservative Assemblist party, focused on stability, and the opposition Expansionist party, which seeks to incorporate new territories through economic and military domination. In parallel, most Carrillian businesses have merged or been absorbed, leaving only a handful of large corporations.
