Hanleng is a rich, pre-agricultural world with a moderate population of over a hundred million, but not yet a billion sophonts in size.

• This is a rich world with a prosperous and thriving world economy.
• This world has high-grade living conditions with a good climate and a non-harmful environment. As such, this world is much sought after with large queues for immigration here.
• It is a member of the Solomani Confederation in the Borethane Subsector of Neworld Sector.

• This is a cold world with an overall climate that is at the lower temperature range of human-congruous sophont endurance.

• Native lifeforms are cryophilic - they thrive in low temperatures.

History & Background (Dossier)

Hanleng is a member of the Bounteous Arm region of the Seguranca Cluster, a cluster and important trade route lying across the central-spinward part of Neworld Sector.

Solomani Security keeps a close eye on things to ensure the security of the Solomani State and the well-being of its loyal citizens. Almost anyone could be a SolSec informant, passing on all sorts of useful information: some gain a reward or benefit for their actions, others are coerced, while many see it as an act of duty to help protect the the State and its interests.

World Starport (St)

Hanleng 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.
