Astrography and Planetology[edit]

Stellar Data[edit]
Mainworld Data[edit]
For'star is named for its two stars and nearby twin gas giants which dominate the sky.
Native Lifeforms[edit]
For'star is famous for its totally hostile environment. The air carries microscopic parasites which dissolve the lungs from the inside; the soil contains micro-organisms capable of surviving the toughest decontamination procedures which inject the host with minute traces of deadly poison. The forests and jungle are filled with creatures which can kill in seconds. The entire planet is poisonous to mammalian lifeforms.
The most well known export is the Laggaa, a small domesticated "pet" with high intelligence, loyalty -- and the ability to spit its venom up to 20 meters with extreme accuracy.
History and Background[edit]
This planet is inhabited purely as a transport junction. Because of the hostile environment, all staff, mostly Dashian indentured, serve a maximum three-month tour of duty.
World Starport (St)[edit]
For'star 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.
