Halthome 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 satellite of another body, and a secondary world in its system.
- It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Gadde Subsector of Dagudashaag Sector in the Domain of Vland.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Halthome was initially settled during the First Imperium but the settlement was abandoned during the Nth Interstellar War. After the formation of the Rule of Man, the planet was resettled by wildcat miners who scourged the land in search of precious metals and minerals.
Within 100 years the planet was almost completely mined-out and was subsequently ignored until 1095 when it was settled by a group of religious exiles from Ushra known as the Church of the Cleansing. They believe that God is going to destroy all unbelievers in a holocaust they refer to as the Cleansing, an event foretold by their prophet, Aziel. The group was allowed to settle on Halthome on the understanding that they upgrade the existing Class D port.
In the last ten years the Church has replaced the old port with a new Class A port which is almost fully automated. The port costs are remarkably low but the Church demands that all visitors attend the Port seminary in the capital city of Huasin for a two-hour lecture on the Teachings of Aziel in return. Unbelievers are not encouraged to leave the Starport, while those of the true faith seldom travel off world.
The Church has two distinct sects: the Soli, or 'body-holy' and the more militantly evangelical Anur who actively seek out unbelievers.

World Government (G)[edit]
Halthome is governed by a Corporate Polity, having a single corporation with a typical corporate structure as a government. Essentially, this is a "company town" (or world). The typical corporate-run world usually has a single purpose. Examples include mining, agriculture, or other kinds of resource extraction. But rather than a simple base of operations, there are facilities for housing workers and their families, including hospitals, schools, and other infrastructure. How, or if, the children of the workers are incorporated into the workforce varies with companies. The corporation running the world may be a subsidiary of a larger interstellar corporation.
