History & Background (Dossier)

Ganad is one of a number of worlds in Saregon Subsector with a runaway population crisis causing cycles of overcrowding and overdevelopment. Its leaders insist that it requires authoritarian government to keep from slipping into chaos.

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.

A few worlds with this law level may be a Red Zone and others will be an Amber Zone. All objects specifically manufactured as weapons are typically regulated or prohibited (with no exception for private residences; visiting starships are only protected so long as they stay within designated starports and approach corridors).
