Masan is a pre-agricultural, moderate population garden world with over a hundred million, but not yet a billion sophonts.

  • Garden worlds are known for their near-ideal utopian environments conducive to most sophonts, plants, animals, and other forms of life.
  • It is a pre-agricultural world with an environment suitable for large scale agricultural and livestock industries that have not yet been widely developed.
  • Its economy and population are growing and living conditions are expected to gradually rise barring outside forces.
  • It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the NewSun Subsector of Crucis Margin Sector.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

A force of Old Worlder "Reaction Cruisers" (actually vessels comparable in size to large destroyers) maintain standing deployments and patrols here, though the system is beyond the Old Worlds' borders.

World Starport[edit]

Masan has a Class D Starport, a poor quality installation which has few of the expected amenities. There is unrefined fuel for starships and a limited variety of ship provisions. There is no shipyard of any kind, but there may be parts and technical support for doing minor services and repair. Ports of this classification generally consist of only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.
