Mainworld Geography and Topography[edit]

The planet is large and chilly, with extended polar ice caps that stretch down to the tropics.

Native Lifeforms[edit]

The large shallow oceans teem with life, though all of it is imported from other worlds within the sector, the result of a long-abandoned terraforming attempt. The dense atmosphere is tainted by uncontrolled fungal spores that irritate the lungs in Humans and Vargr, hence filter masks are a must when venturing out. Where rain falls, it is usually highly acidic, with the result that plant life is almost non-existent where the ice gives way to rock.

History and Background[edit]

All of the planet's oxygen is produced by algae in the seas, this being the only complete stage of the terraforming process thus far. Some Executives and their staff do live in the elevated and craggy mountainous regions close to the equator where the atmospheric taint is bearable and homes are hermetically sealed. Most use of the atmosphere is simply for atmospheric testing of high performance pinnaces, ship's boats and launches, or the occasional military design. The vast expanses of rocky wasteland are also considered ideal as bombing/testing ranges by many of the armed forces of nearby worlds, not to mention units of both the Imperial Army and Marine Forces, who can often be seen visiting this system for exercises and training.

Imperial Landed Nobility[edit]

Hemant, as a member world of the Third Imperium has a member of the Imperial Landed Nobility who acts as an Imperial representative to the world.

World Starport[edit]

Hemant 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.

  • A small orbital port attached to the Primus Shipyard directs system traffic and handles most in-system trade and transfer requests.

World Economy[edit]

Hemant-Aeronautics are a major supplier of small craft, subcraft and non-starships throughout the subsector, with 400 permanent residents made up of chief executives, board members and their families. Other employees are drawn in from neighboring worlds (with a great deal from Hebrin (Empty Quarter 1930)) in 6 monthly cyclic 'shifts', being in the main engineers, naval architects, zero-G construction experts and support staff that oversee the largely automated design and build programs typical of the Hemant Yards.
