Jump map from Travellermap.com

Gandar is a non-agricultural and nonindustrial vacuum world, which warrants hazardous environment precautions.

• Life in a vacuum requires great discipline. After all, it only takes one forgotten seal on a vacuum suit to spell death. Those who survive tend to be very methodically-minded and attentive to small detail.
• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.
• It is unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
• It has few prospects for economic development.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Ch'naar Subsector of Core Sector in the Domain of Sylea.
• This world was colonized by and is controlled from Umkashuu.
• During the Long Night, this world was known as Reshi Uun.

Description (Planetology)

	Remarks

History & Background (Dossier)

The Salo Merchant Line from Zimmel (Core 1733) one jump away colonized Gandar as a fueling station, since its low orbit makes it an ideal jump-off point for skimming the gas giant and storing refined fuel. The government of Umkashuu (Core 1335) eventually took over management of the station to make it into a self-sufficient colony, trading fuel and some refined minerals for other needed items.

World Starport (Sp)

Gandar has a Class B Starport, a good 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 most kinds of repair, and construction of non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

World Population (P)

Gandar has a population of 8,000,000 sophonts (millions).

• This is a Nonindustrial World, too small to support the complete chain of production of most goods from start to finish.

Linguistic Topography

The most commonly heard languages are:

• Core Anglic, one of the principal dialects of one of the two official languages of the Imperium.
• Vilani, one of the two official languages of the Imperium.
