World Starport (Sp)[edit]
Maeghen 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.
- This world does have a utilitarian highport (C-class) which welcomes visitors. By contrast, the downport scarcely rates Class-E.

The base is not accessible to the public, though detached duty scouts may use it upon request.
