Bantral is a non-industrial, agricultural garden world located inside the Outrim Void in Pax Rulin Subsector of the Trojan Reach. Bantral is an Imperial Client State and the system contains a Scout Base.

Due to its location the world has trade connections to both the Senlis Foederate and the Imperium. The expansionist Foederate had targeted Bantral for acquisition and was only deterred when the world obtained Imperial protection. The Baraccai Technum trading cartel has appointed a Factor to the mainworld.

Bantral is a high-population world with a billion or more sophonts in population size.

• It is a client state of the Third Imperium in the Pax Rulin Subsector of Trojan Reach Sector.

Description (Planetology)

The world is generally pleasant, though the dense atmosphere can result in very heavy rainfall on a frequent basis.

History & Background (Dossier)

• Bantral is an Imperial client state; that is, it is an independent world with strong ties to the Imperium.
• It is sufficiently pro-Imperial as to host a small Scout Service base, which supports reconnaissance missions into the Outrim Void and communications links with more distant areas.
• Jump-5 couriers occasionally transit through Bantral,[Kydde and (after refueling at the gas giants of Tlazolteotl and Gabriel) connect the client state of Dpres to Imperial territory
• The Baraccai Technum has a major trade delegation at Bantral’s highport, and dominates the world’s trade with the Imperium. This mostly takes the form of agricultural exports, which are exchanged for higher-tech goods at a rate very favorable to Imperial traders.

Population

Most of the half-million people are clustered into the region around the starport. The remainder of the planetary surface is largely undeveloped, though there are a few small enclaves. Not all of these are official; parties of settlers have at times set up tiny colonies in the Bantral outback, and there have even been incidents of pirate vessels operating out of remote valleys.
