Hattop 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 member of the Ral Ranta in the Darvis Subsector of Hinterworlds Sector.

History & Background (Dossier)

World Starport

Hattop has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which features amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

Linguistic Topography

• Ral Ranta: The guttural, abrupt language of the Ral Ranta clans, heavily derived from Solomani pidgin.

Trade Data

Ral Rantan merchants are generally unscrupulous but will keep their word and any deal they make to the letter of the agreement -- this includes any verbal contract. They expect the other party to honor a deal the same way, on the threat of violence. It should be noted that Ral Rantans are often very adept at finding loopholes and exceptions to deals, agreements, and contracts, and may define the terms of one in unexpected ways.

World Culture

Dueling is a widely practiced means of settling disputes. An honorable death is a desirable outcome for a Ral Rantan. They are generally an aggressive, fearless people who say what they mean and mean what they say (though they are also notorious for withholding information in order to gain an advantage, and have no qualms about exploiting others). Demands, threats, and intimidation are an everyday part of life.

Most Ral Ranta have a deep reverence for their ancestors and practice some form of ancestor worship. Having ancestors that are great or notable warriors is considered a source of pride.
