History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Connaught provides jump-2 access between the Florian Main of which it is part and the Sindalian Main, also known as the Dustbelt, to trailing.

During the Tyrian Lordships period, Connaught came under the rule of Tyr.

World Starport (Sp)[edit]

Connaught has a Class D Starport, a poor quality installation which has few of the expected amenities. There is unrefined fuel for starships and a limited variety of ship provisions. There is no shipyard of any kind, but there may be parts and technical support for doing minor services and repair. Ports of this classification generally consist of only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.
