Mainworld Data

Cruachan is often described as twin to Iesha (Dagudashaag 1712).

History and Background

This beautiful water world, with its twin red suns, has now become a popular tourist destination for the rich of Khandi. There are a half dozen new hotels scattered on the small island chains. Most are perched on top of high mountains or extinct volcanoes, above the choking dense lower atmosphere. Aerial flights and submersible cruises are popular means of taking in the sights. The starport has recently been upgraded to cope with the increase in visitors, and the influx of mineral processing companies who are beginning to survey the oceans.

World Starport (Sp)

Cruachan 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.
