World Starport[edit]

Husam has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which includes 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.

World Technology Level[edit]

Husam possesses a Technology Level of TL–10 or TL-A in Hexadecimal Notation.

World Government[edit]

Husam is governed by a Representative Democracy where government leadership is representatives elected by eligible voters. What determines an eligible voter varies. The representatives determine policy, including selecting members of the bureaucracy. There can be referendum, votes by eligible voters on specific subjects.

World Law Level[edit]

Husam has a moderate law level with laws covering many areas of government and interaction. These laws are simple enough that most people can act as their own advocate, though for serious issues a professional is recommended. Law enforcement officials will be present, but not in great numbers. Light assault weapons, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.

World Culture[edit]

The small population of Husam generally fear travellers, and have designated their leaders to handle all those who land at their Class-C downport, which is barely functional. There are the expected technical amenities for starships, but only automated food machines are available. The hostels were entirely dedicated to housing the population, and the restaurant spaces were being used as communal kitchens.

World Language/s[edit]

Anglic

Urbanization[edit]

The downport is the urban center for Husam, probably because it is able to withstand the corrosive atmosphere. The original habitats apparently failed early in this settlement.
