History & Background (Dossier)

Douglass University, founded here by Clan Douglass, is considered a prestigious institution by wider Caledonian society.

World Starport (St)

Douglass has a Class A Starport, an excellent 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 other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

• The world is host to a Naval Base.

World Languages

• Anglic: The official language of the Principality of Caledon; specifically a group of dialects known simply as Caledonian Anglic.
  • Speakers with higher education and backgrounds from the upper middle class and higher speak a dialect very close to classical Anglic with a thin accent; heavier accents and different vocabulary occur the further afield from the nobility, and from Caledon itself, the speaker hails.
• Gheldaght: A descendant of the antiquarian Caledonian ethnic language, found among ardent cultural nationalists and the highly-educated.

World Economy

The Principality of Caledon issues a state currency, the Pound, but does not run a monopoly on legal tender. Douglass is among the governments issuing its own, additional currency. The Douglass Punt is generally close to 1CR in value; generally 2-2.5 Punts trade for a Caledonian Pound.

Imperial credits are also accepted. Paying with "Imperials" incurs a 3% exchange fee planetside (1% at the Starport) -- except at times when the Pound is weak.

Trade Data

Caledonian whisky from Douglass is a prime export commodity.
