Saarinen supports a population of fewer than 10,000 sophonts. This world has the Imperial Research Station Epsilon for the Sector. It is a member of Third Imperium in the Sabine Subsector of Deneb Sector and in the Domain of Deneb. Saarinen, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estate of an Imperial knight, a member of the Imperial Landed Nobility who acts as an Imperial representative to the world.

Astrography & Planetology

Saarinen is the fifth moon of the local gas giant, Unagashin. High surface temperatures discouraged colonisation, as immigrants found more inviting worlds in nearby Rhylanor Subsector.

It is located within the Aramis Trace.

History & Background (Dossier)

The system contains Imperial Research Station Epsilon (Deneb), which was founded specifically for military Psionics research and from the beginning was associated with the Order of the White Star, an Imperium-wide Psionics Institute for training military knights with psionic ability. After the Psionics Suppressions, the Station was abandoned.

Because of its lack of a population beyond starport staff, the Third Imperium re-established Deneb's Research Station Epsilon in the world's outback in 806. Epsilon is now dedicated to genetics research, having been established at the behest of institutions like the Ministry of Colonisation, the Scout Service and a number of private and public corporations. Its charter prohibits it from engaging in geneering work that deals with sentients, and experiments on animals are severely regulated. Most of its work then is in genetically modified plants, fungus and microorganisms.

The station is located about 1200 km from the downport, in a remote valley, shielded from casual observers by 8000 meter tall mountains. The facility itself is a sprawling affair, consisting of barracks, containment domes, and wide expanses of cultivated and fallow fields. The station is protected by tight security, and large areas near it are posted off limits and patrolled with aircraft. Allegations of secret military experiments dogged the facility for centuries, and rumors of major accidents emerged from time to time as well.

World Starport (Sp)

Saarinen 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.
