Around -2500, the Karhyri managed to colonize Kald by means of sublight starships. They found the remains of a crashed Hiver vessel on the planet. Its crew had perished decades, possibly centuries, before, but enough of their technology remained intact that within 50 years the Karhyri were able to build crude Jump-capable vessels.

Ports of this classification generally consist of only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.
