History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Caprice (SR 3035) is an important, high-population, Terran Norm garden world.
Caprice originally had a democratic government, which strongly supported Solomani resistance to the Imperium. After the Solomani Rim War, domestic unrest led to a revolt and installation of a hereditary dictatorship, with rulers now descended from the fabled Admiral John Saarinen.
World Starport (Sp)[edit]
Caprice has a Class A Starport, an excellent 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 other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.
- There is an associated Solomani Confederation Naval Base.
World Population (P)[edit]
Caprice has a population of 8,000,000,000 sophonts (billions).
- High Population Worlds like this tend to have huge consumer markets.
World Government (G)[edit]
Caprice is governed by a Charismatic Dictatorship. Charismatic governments justify their ability to rule by simply asserting their right to rule. Charismatic dictatorships are typically young governments, coming as a recent change, and rely on the leader(s) to supply head of government.
