Mainworld Data[edit]

Khumsada is a pleasant garden world with a temperate climate. The starport has been restricted to a class-C facility (although it is particular luxurious) and the number of visitors is restricted.

Mainworld Geography and Topography[edit]

Two minor continents straddle the equator; vast chains of islands, most formed by volcanism, trail into the oceans.

History and Background[edit]

The world is regarded as one of the premier holiday destinations in the subsector. Some of Khumsada's major selling points are the breathtaking scenery and the incredible diversity of native life. The world has few other usable resources and the local government is keen to preserve its scenery and natural heritage. Khumsada is also known for fine quality vegetables, fruit, and wines.

World Starport (Sp)[edit]

Khumsada 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.
