History & Background (Dossier)

SuSAG Corporation established their first factory operation in the Dug system in 832 to avoid the Psionics Suppressions. This factory was to manufacture then illegal psi drugs. The operation has since expanded into other areas of drugs and chemicals, and includes a large R & D operation that is quasi-legal at best.

Analysts believe that the Loyal Nineworlds Republic would like to make a claim to Dug.

World Starport

Dug 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.

• This system's starport is privately owned by the SuSAG corporation and not generally open to public use. Landings are restricted to SuSAG owned ships and those of customers or contractors working for SuSAG corporation. Ships not associated with SuSAG can refuel in the system from a SuSAG tanker or outlying unoccupied worlds under escort of SuSAG defense ships.

• The majority of technology in this system is about TL-10. The SuSAG pharmaceutical factories in the system are TL-15.

World Government

Dug is governed by a Corporate Polity with a single corporation with a typical corporate structure as a government. A company town, or world. The typical corporate run world usually has a single purpose. Examples include mining, agriculture, or other kinds of resource extraction. But rather than a simple base of operations, there are facilities for housing workers and their families including hospitals, schools, and other infrastructure. How, or if, the children of the workers are incorporated into the workforce varies with companies. The corporation running the world may be a subsidiary of a larger interstellar corporation.

• This world, and system, are controlled by SuSAG, a megacorporation.
