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

• The world's agricultural industry is growing and some economists forecast an explosion in this world's agribusiness in the near future as new agro-technology and a more capable labor force are imported.
• 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 Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Ashton Subsector of Gateway Sector.

History & Background (Dossier)

World Starport

Hopewell has a Class D Starport, a poor quality installation which has few of the expected amenities. There is unrefined fuel for starships and a limited variety of ship provisions. There is no shipyard of any kind, but there may be parts and technical support for doing minor services and repair. Ports of this classification generally consist of only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.
