Mainworld Data[edit]

The small but excellent starport, built in orbit in 1112, is constructed from pre-fabricated parts brought from Rukhigu (Dagudashaag 1918). The port serves as base for two research teams conducting planetary surveys. There are several sites marked for initial colonization. The nations of Henagal and Ias (see below) are lobbying the Ministry of Colonization for additional funding for atmospheric terraforming.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

This world has been claimed by the Henagal and Ias states of Rukhigu (Dagudashaag 1918), looking for room to expand. Both counties are suffering from chronic overcrowding problems.

A number of other states from Rukhigu, backed by a consortium of businesses, are challenging the legality of the claims. There has been one attempted hijacking of the orbital station attributed to elements from Rukhigu.

World Starport (Sp)[edit]

Dehkaim 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.
