World Economy[edit]
As a worldhouse Fairday is dependent on the importation of water and air from other terrestrial bodies in the same system and from other nearby systems. In exchange the planet provides mineral and industrial wealth to other systems. The extremely high population of the system means that the importation of agricultural products is essential for survival.
World Demographics[edit]
Fairday is dominated by the descendants of the Selenite populations that first settled in the system during the Rule of Man.
World Culture[edit]
The Selenite people of the Fairday system are no different from others of their race. Their society views self-sufficiency as an essential quality and are xenophobic to outsiders.
Historical Data[edit]
Fairday was founded by Selenite settlers during the Rule of Man. Following the example of the successful paraterraforming of Velscur the planet was turned into a worldhouse planet a few centuries after settlement.
During the reestablishment of the Solomani Confederacy the people of the Fairday system found themselves treated as second class to the ruling Solomani class. When the Third Imperium occupied the system during the Solomani Rim War the Selenite population did not resist their new rulers.
