History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Eleusis is a rich world with four small moons. The system is a member of the Imperium and contains a Naval Base. Eleusis is the subsector capital.

Eleusis is an unusual world, fewer than a billion years old and yet possessed of a rich local ecosphere. The world was settled by by the Vilani around -4600 and during the Rule of Man was a popular destination for Terran colonists originating from sub-Saharan Africa.

Government on Eleusis is very unobtrusive, the only serious restrictions being in the area of population control; there are almost no restrictions on weapons. Eleusis has developed an elaborate culture of the sword, and swords, swordplay, and dueling all feature prominently throughout society.

World Starport (St)[edit]

Eleusis 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.
