Pixtome is a nonindustrial fluid world.

  • A fluid world has an oceanic geography consisting of heavily contaminated water or a substance such as ammonia, methane, hydrocarbons, or other exotic liquid.
  • It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
  • It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Cemplas Subsector of Core Sector in the Domain of Sylea.
  • This world has an Imperial Naval Base, capable of handling warships.
  • It also has an Imperial Scout base, capable of handling IISS starships and personnel.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

This world was once known as Imkhasham.

Prior to the Third Imperium, this world was a member of the Interstellar Confederacy.

The Solomani PERFORMAC Pharmaceuticals conglomerate was based here for over five centuries prior to the founding of the Third Imperium.

World Starport (Sp)[edit]

Pixtome has a Class A Starport, an excellent 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 other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.
