Jump map from Travellermap.com

Boreal is a high-population water world, which has 90% or more of its surface covered in an ocean of water and a population of a billion or more sophonts.

• The inhabitants of this world live on the roughly 10% of exposed land mass, in underwater colonies, on city ships, or similar arrangements.
• This is a "Puzzle" world designated as an Amber Zone. Caution is advised since the world has an environment, laws, customs, life forms, or other conditions that are not well understood and might be a danger to a visitor.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Hyperion Subsector of Vanguard Reaches Sector.

History and Background

Boreal is part of the Diadem Trade League agreement, but has balked at surrendering control to a multi-system organisation based on and led by Baixing, leaving the League a loose arrangement.

World Starport

Boreal 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.
