History & Background / Dossier[edit]
This world was sparsely settled during the Rule of Man, and later abandoned during the Long Night. Remains of a few small settlements have been discovered, though in truth there has been little investigation. After lying deserted throughout the Long Night, Brightlett was occupied by a Sydite garrison (see: Sydymic Empire), mainly as a territorial claim. In the late 600s, the Third Imperium drove through the cluster and the Sydites withdrew from the world without a fight.
After another couple of centuries lying fallow, Brightlett was again colonized, this time by the Imperials in 890. The colony was nothing more than a "landgrab", made in case anything useful was ever found here.
Thus far, nothing has.
Imperial High / Landed Nobility[edit]
World Starport[edit]
Brightlett 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. 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.
The Downport is built on the remains of a Sydite installation dating to the Sydymic Empire.
