Beleperan is a rich and agricultural production world with a shirt-sleeve atmosphere and a balance of available surface water. The system supports a population in the millions of sophonts, lacking the industrial base to be completely self-supporting. It is a member of Third Imperium in the Remnants Subsector of Dagudashaag Sector and in the Domain of Vland. Beleperan, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estate of an Imperial knight (the Imperial representative to the world) and the fiefdom of a baron. Both are members of the Imperial Landed Nobility who oversee affairs regarding the world at an Interstellar and Imperial level. This world contains an Imperial Scout Base, capable of handling Scout Service starships and personnel. During the Long Night this world was named Kaiin.

System Data[edit]

Point of Interest: Domination Colony: The Beleparen system is best known not for the actual mainworld but for the planet Bhecarus. This gas giant on the edge of the system was once a Domination colony.

Mainworld Data[edit]

Beleperan, like many planets in Remnants, is a mining colony. Initially set up by IPP, the original colony was established to drill for oil. Soon after the founding, the colony discovered Ambalite, a unique crystal produced from the fossilized sap of one of the native plants. IPP did not have the resources to mine the crystals and subsequently sold large tracts of land to various mining guilds, usually with first right of refusal to purchase the raw Ambalite. Ambalite, due to its unique transparent structure, is ideal for use in holographic projector lenses.

History and Background[edit]

Domination-sideview 350.jpg

In 876 the local Domination decided to help themselves to a shipment of IPP's Ambalite, destroying the transport in the process. The subsector navy, led by Admiral Karl Ghenas III, Earl of Shankida, elected to take the matter into their own hands. Ghenas ordered an entire arsenal of nuclear weapons fired at the colony deep in the gas giant atmosphere. The entire Domination fleet was destroyed a few minutes later by the resulting shock wave.

The Domination have refused to recolonize the system, and have avoided any further conflict with the Imperium. They have assumed that this act of devastation is the Imperium's planned response to any acts of aggression by their species.

World Starport (St)[edit]

Beleperan has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which features amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.
