Mainworld Data[edit]

This is a warm and pleasant world, with a lack of an axial tilt.

History and Background[edit]

This pleasant, fertile world sends most of its agricultural produce to Core Sector. Nearly 80 per cent of the working population are either directly or indirectly involved in agriculture. However, the working population constitutes only 20 per cent of the population. The lack of axial tilt and warm climate has made this world a retirement home for many of the rich in this region of space. This was not always so. However, when the retirees began to come to the system, it took so long for the convoluted government to come to any decisions, that when a referendum on the immigrants was held, the retirees out-numbered the local population, and so stopped any measures that may have slowed the influx of people.

World Starport (St)[edit]

Kedden has a Class B Starport, a good 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 most kinds of repair, and construction of non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.
