History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

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

World Starport (Sp)[edit]

Dingus 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.

The following languages are among the most commonly used within this astrographic region:
