History and Background

This world is part of the Democracy of Greats. Member worlds of the Democracy police themselves with local legislation and judiciary court systems. Extraterritoriality is upheld at each world's main Starport (whether it is a downport or a highport or, rarely, at both).

World Starport

Giou 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.

• 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.
