Native Lifeforms[edit]

Significant indigenous sea-life. There are significant efforts to categorize the sea-life for possible aquacultural development. This effort is currently led by Tseekwakitat, a dolphin scientist of some repute.

History & Background / Dossier[edit]

This system is strategically located near the Grand United States of Quesada. As the Eurynome mainworld is the only source of water in-system, and there are no gas giants available for refueling, the Solomani Confederation developed the system as a military hardpoint, constructing a Class-A starport, full Naval base, and a StarMarine base including planet-side training facilities.

World Starport[edit]

Eurynome 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.

Eurynome possesses a Technology Level of TL–11 or TL-B in Hexadecimal Notation.

Eurynome has a Captive Government or Colony. The world is ruled by an external government, there is no self-rule. A colony or conquered area. The local government is an oligarchy appointed by, and answerable only to, the external government.
