History and Background

Diu was colonized by Makhidkarun in -9211. Over the next three hundred years the planet was systematically stripped of all its resources then deserted. In 776 the deep mines were turned into a top security vault and a colony established in the near surface mines by McKellar-Naasirka Security (MNS). As a concession to the IISS, a second port was built for non-company use. The only people allowed to say on the planet for more than two weeks are MNS and IISS personnel.

World Starport (St)

Diu has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which features amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.
