History & Background (Dossier)

Flanders, formerly known as Urima (Anglic: Urima), is a high-population world within the Vegan Autonomous Region.

Flanders is the highest population world in the subsector. It has a largely human population, as Vegans find the gravity less than tolerable (it being higher than that of their homeworld).

World Starport

Flanders 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.
