Kawstee is an agricultural, nonindustrial, pre-rich world with a growing agro-economy, but still lacks an adequate population to expand its economy to a rich status.

  • As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
  • It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
  • This world has promising economic future although it needs to recruit a larger labor force in order to achieve the desired prosperity.
  • It is a member of the Mapepire Cluster in the Mapepire Subsector of Beyond Sector.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

The Mapepire Cluster maintains friendly relations with the Third Imperium. This world, like all Cluster worlds, maintains a Traveller's Aid Society hostel, and has a branch of the Imperial Express Bank present.

World Starport[edit]

Kawstee has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which features 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.

  • The Duchy of Mapepire both operates and protects the primary starport, as it does in each member system.
