History and Background

World Starport

Gidhang 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.

• Vargr starports reflect the variety of Vargr architecture, with many disparate styles of building, each having their own unique ornamentation and gaudy colour scheme, and all competing for the attention of the onlooker. Emblems for the major shipping lines and port facilities abound.

Later Eras

In the 1130s, Gidhang was infected by Virus through its own inept Corsair Base. 20,000 Vargr lost their lives to Virus when it shut down contra-gravity systems and plunged high-altitude aerospace platforms into the Fluid hydrographic seas and dense atmosphere below.
