History & Background (Dossier)

One of the local gas giants has a colony of Domination in its upper atmosphere. How long they have been there is unclear, as is usually the case with this enigmatic species.

Prior to the Third Imperium, this world was a member of the Interstellar Confederacy.

World Starport (St)

Deseca 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.
