History & Background (Dossier)

World Starport

Gidekis 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.

• There is an associated Imperial Naval Base, hosting elements of the 150th Fleet.

Gidekisian government is based on a high degree of specialisation. Each of its widespread oceanic provinces focuses on a unique industry.

Urbanization

The largest 'continent' in the Gide (the word used for the planet's worldwide ocean) is Lemuria, which consists of a series of cities built on seamounts and floating grav platforms.
