Native Lifeforms[edit]
The world has complex lifeforms.
The plains of Pagliacci are vast expanses of open grassland, broken by occasional clumps of trees and low-lying brush. A few Terran plants have managed to take hold, largely due to their immunity to local diseases, but the bulk of the plant-life still consists of native species. Under certain conditions the plains are swept by prairie fires of great size and intensity, and native life has evolved to deal with this.
Species of note on Pagliacci include the Glueberry Tree and the Stinkscrabbler.

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.
- The only reason for the existence of Dion starport on Pagliacci is the planet's location on one of the main trade routes from the Solomani Rim to the rimward worlds of the Hive Federation.

World Economy (Ex)[edit]
Pagliacci has little in the way of mineral wealth or readily exploitable resources (at least none that have been discovered) and has never been the subject of any great colonization efforts, either by the Imperial government, by Megacorporations, or by private interests.
Most of the manufacturing and industry which takes place on the planet is clustered within a few hundred kilometers of Dion starport. The remainder is scattered in small farming settlements throughout the region. Agriculture is limited mostly to subsistence farming, with a moderate surplus, all of which is sold to the industrial towns around the starport. The planet is largely self-sufficient, and off planet trade is minimal.

World Culture (Cx)[edit]
A small portion of the population has found the confines of civilization too restrictive, and made off into the outback. Some of these are seeking their fortunes, hoping to be the discoverer of some valuable mineralogical treasure which was overlooked by the initial planetary survey. Others are part of that small portion of humanity that feel that a neighbor is too close if you can see the smoke of his cooking fire.
