Jump map from Travellermap.com

Azimuth is a pre-agricultural and nonindustrial world lacking adequate development for its economy to become prosperous.

• As a nonindustrial world, it requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Apge Subsector of Core Sector in the Domain of Sylea.
• This world has an Imperial Naval Base, capable of handling warships.

Description (Planetology)

This world is part of the Apge Run.

History & Background (Dossier)

At the dawn of the Third Imperium, Cleon Zhunastu's patented Fusion Plus technology was first employed in the Azimuth system, where it was successfully used to provide power for a light carrier and squadron of gunships deployed to combat pirates. Azimuth is little more than a naval outpost in modern times, but its highport is decorated with several mixed-media murals and interactive displays that reprise the battle (to the tune of overly dramatic and slightly too loud original compositions from the Apge Symphony Orchestra).

World Starport (Sp)

Azimuth has a Class B Starport, a good 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 most kinds of repair, and construction of 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 26th Fleet.

Linguistic Topography

The following languages are among the most commonly used within this astrographic region:

• Core Anglic: One of the principal dialects of one of the two official languages of the Third Imperium.
• Vilani: One of the two official languages of the Third Imperium.
