History and Background

The world's name is taken from an ancient Terran novel, Dr. Jekyll and Mr.Hyde, given by the Solomani who settled on this world. It is a story of a doctor who uses drugs to change his personality to open up and release his darker side. The analogy was drawn when the settlers first experienced the wildly fluctuating climate. At the equator, the summer temperature switches from 65ºC to -11ºC between day and night. At the same latitude the temperature changes between 65ºC and -64ºC from summer to winter. There are more extreme fluctuations at higher latitudes. This has kept colonization to a minimum, but the world is well served with a class-A starport as Jekyll is an important transport nexus within the subsector.

World Starport (St)

Jekyll 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.

Linguistic Topography

The following languages are among the most commonly used on this world:

• Anglic: One of the two official languages of the Third Imperium.
  • Galaach: An Ushran trade language derived from Anglic, widely spoken throughout the Shallows, Zeda and Ushra subsectors.
• Vilani: One of the two official languages of the Third Imperium.

Urbanization

Jekyll only has one city, an underground settlement connected to the surface starport by multiple grav-tube elevators. The city is called Hyde after Jekyll's dark aspect. Although extremely warm and comfortable due to tapping the planetary magma, the city has no natural light and its access tunnels are poorly lighted creating an extremely gloomy atmosphere.

World Culture

The people of Hyde have an abnormal salt intake and visitors are warned that most of their food and even their drinking water has an excessively high salt content.
