World Starport[edit]
Barrow has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which includes amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions.

Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.
Barrowport is located 10km south of the northern ice pack. It has a hostel and an actual "art deco" style hotel. There are a handful of restaurants with varying fare.

There may be smaller councils or regional bodies to write the policies voted on. Leadership of the government and all members of the bureaucracy are determined by voting population.
