History and Background[edit]

This world is home to the University of Khaolus, one of the largest Aslan institutions of higher education.

The mainworld's Starport is not a true frontier station, but has been assigned a class-E rating due to the limited demand for a larger installation. Refined fuel is available on a limited basis.

World Starport (St)[edit]

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 a downport.
