History and Background[edit]

Emarkus is a backwater colony world housing some of the population over spill from Rukhigu (Dagudashaag 1918) and Khandi (Dagudashaag 2119) in Khandi Subsector. The cool climate and the thin atmosphere have been a major disincentive for settlers despite the offer of relocation payments and special allowances by the local governments.

World Starport (St)[edit]

Emarkus 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.
