History and Background

The small population of Chirpers, who were relocated to Nox from Elysium (Dagudashaag 1520) in -276, have equal rights to their Human counterparts and make up a large proportion of the governing council despite numbering only 300 individuals within a single settlement.

World Starport (St)

Nox 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.

The following languages are among the most commonly used on this world:

• Anglic: One of the two official languages of the Third Imperium.
