Perus is a non-agricultural, pre-industrial vacuum world, which warrants hazardous environment precautions.

  • Life in a vacuum requires great discipline. After all, it only takes one forgotten seal on a vacuum suit to spell death. Those who survive tend to be very methodically-minded and attentive to small detail.
  • It is unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
  • It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.
  • Its economy and population are slowly growing and living conditions are expected to improve in the near future barring outside forces.
  • It is a member of the Tellerian Cluster in the Coos Subsector of Vanguard Reaches Sector.
  • This world-system has a Military Base, usually associated with military ground forces, which may be located on or off-world.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

While political control of many systems within the Tellerian Cluster is disputed, Perus is acknowledged by the Cluster's four major powers as a neutral world. It is considered a port of entry for the Cluster as a whole.

World Starport[edit]

Perus 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.
