History & Background / Dossier[edit]
Balthazar is widely considered the ‘subsector capital’ of Last Frontier Subsector, insofar as such labels matter in this region. The population are mostly human and have been ruled for decades by a succession of ever more brutal dictators.
As a result of worsening internal conditions, Balthazar was placed off-limits to unauthorised Travellers by the Solomani Confederation. This had the effect of cutting off much of the trade that passed through its excellent starport and weakening the world’s economy at a time when dissent was already rising. No amount of posturing on the part of the dictator could persuade the Confederation to reverse this policy, and independent ships began to avoid the port too.
Balthazar soon attracted the attention of a Hiver Topical Club; in this case the Threat Annulment Society of Glyah. This band of like-minded Hivers was working for the good of the Federation -- or so they said -- by quietly removing threats along the borders. By ‘quietly’ they meant ‘without repercussions for the Hivers responsible’.
World Starport[edit]
Balthazar 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.
