History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Lling is a rich world controlled from Aegadh (Gvurrdon 1317).

  • The influence of the Church of the Chosen Ones is small here and the inhabitants of Lling show surprisingly little unrest, for Vargr rules from afar.
  • Lling is not a large planet, but even so its population is one-tenth that of Aegadh.

Within the Society of Equals, Lling is renowned for its fine art. The skill of its engravers in particularly well known for they have succeeded in blending laser technology with art to produce beautiful miniature designs. The motifs created by these craftsmen are popular with Vargr everywhere.

World Starport (St)[edit]

Lling 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.

  • Vargr starports reflect the variety of Vargr architecture, with many disparate styles of building, each having their own unique ornamentation and gaudy colour scheme, and all competing for the attention of the onlooker. Emblems for the major shipping lines and port facilities abound.

World Economy[edit]

The Society of Equals is primarily built on free trade between member worlds, which are encouraged to foster trade relations with one another. With the exception of locally determined contraband, embargos between member worlds are forbidden. Refusing trade of legal goods from another member imposes fines.
