Mainworld Data

Gishu Amkhir is stunningly beautiful. The world is the fourth moon of the spectacular ringed gas giant Zukhir, which in turn orbits a pair of close binary stars. The two primaries create glowing auroras that fill the night sky. The deserts, the canyons, the mountains, and the rugged coastlines are equally impressive.

History and Background

Gishu Amkhir has been ruled by autocrats since it was first colonized. The Imperium was forced to remove the last dictator when her regime's appalling Sophonts' rights record became public. Although the governmental bureaucracy remained in place, it is now controlled by an Imperial military governor.

World Starport

Gishu Amkhir 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.
