History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

According to local sources, the world is named thus because Imperial colonists found the desiccated bones of the previous inhabitants when they arrived. It seems that Boneyard was inhabited, possibly by several million people during the First and/or Second Imperium. At some point during the Long Night, the population died out.

World Starport[edit]

Boneyard 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.

Economy[edit]

Today, the entire populace numbers 9,500 people who live and work at the Downport. All are employees of the Boneyard branch of Interstellar Transit LIC, a mid-sized corporation that builds and runs starports on behalf of world governments that cannot afford the investment.

Moibin Shipping uses Boneyard as its home port, due to an agreement with Interstellar Transit.
