Mainworld Data[edit]

Sainte Foy has a Good Starport with shipyards able of handling Spacecraft up to the Overhaul level, and provides Refined fuel. The main world is roughly 11,200 kilometers in diameter, and is a Medium terrestrial (e.g. Venus). The atmosphere has a pressure of 0.5 atmospheres. The atmosphere is a standard oxygen/nitrogen mix, which is breathable without assistance. The surface is roughly 60 percent surface water, which qualifies it as a Wet world world. The main world has a general population of 20 Million local residents, which qualifies it as a Moderate population world. The local government is characterized as Self-Perpetuating Oligarchy, with government by a restricted minority, with little or no input from the masses. Visitors may find the law barely restrictive as machine guns, automatic weapons are regulated or restricted by local authorities.

Sainte Foy is a rugged mining world, ruled by a hereditary clique descended from the earliest colonists: the Primacy. The standard of living is known to be high, due to large exports of ores, but Foyans are notoriously secretive and xenophobic. Ships landing outside the Gateway Starport have been met by armed parties, resulting in the Amber classification. Gateway star port is in a box canyon with mountains on all sides.
