Mainworld Geography and Topography

Castell's surface is over 90% water; its ocean floors abound with metal and mineral wealth.

History & Background (Dossier)

In 758, negligence on the part of the population of the Myteria-Seru undersea arcology caused it to be completely flooded during a seismic disturbance, killing all of the 1.5 million inhabitants. The government decided that to prevent such a disaster from ever occurring again, it must carefully control all facets of life in the arcologies -- a philosophy which the present-day government continues to promote.

World Starport (Sp)

Castell 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.

• There is an associated Imperial Naval Base, hosting elements of the 26th Fleet.

World Population (P)

Castell has a population of 300,000 sophonts (hundreds of thousands).

• This is a Nonindustrial World, too small to support the complete chain of production of most goods from start to finish.
• The population has not recovered from the disaster of 758.
