History and Background

Luuar is a world occupied and run by the IISS. The system was designated as a forward base by the Syleans to serve as contact headquarters prior to the approach and assimilation of the S'mrii and Lancians. Staffed originally with sophontologists, xenobiologists, sociologists and psychologists, and other contact specialists, the base helped smooth initial relations between the two races and Cleon's Imperium.

Now the base functions as a xenoculture specialist centre where information and research on alien races and cultures is held. For many scouts in the Contact Bureau, a spell at the site forms an important part of their training.

World Starport (Sp)

Luuar has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which includes 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.

World Population (P)

Luuar has a population of 6,000 sophonts (thousands).

• This is a Low Population World and the population would be too low to sustain itself without a little outside assistance. This may represent the home base of a sizable but mostly transient population such as the base of a major starship expedition, the last generation of a dying colony, the first generation of a new colony, or a large outpost that will probably evolve into a colony if not stopped.
