Gapoto is an agricultural, nonindustrial world still lacking adequate means to expand its economy.

  • As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
  • It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
  • It is a member of the Stormhaven Republic.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)[edit]

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

No information currently available.

World Starport[edit]

Gapoto 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 Government (G)[edit]

Gapoto is governed by a Participatory Democracy where eligible voters determine laws and policy. What determines an eligible voter varies. There may be smaller councils or regional bodies to draft the policies voted upon. Leadership of the government and all members of the bureaucracy are determined by the voting population.

  • The Stormhaven Republic allows each planet to govern itself, so long as the planet is some form of democracy. Each planet elects representatives to the government on Stormhaven, the legislature that handles interplanetary affairs.

World Economy[edit]

Trade Routes connect Gapoto to Stormhaven, Teas, and Excalibur.
