Mainworld Data[edit]
Santorini is a tide-locked world, habitable because its atmosphere is thick enough to allow the night face to be heated by circulation effects.
Mainworld Geography and Topography[edit]
Most of the planet's day face is covered by ocean, although one small continent and a thick scattering of islands fall in a particularly pleasant climate zone that is densely populated.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Santorini is a rich world and a member of the Solomani Confederation.
Santorini was settled about 350 by members of a Terran splinter cultural group, the Chalice Sisterhood, which emulated Terra's ancient Minoan culture. Santorini is governed by a hereditary aristocracy, with each noble family dominated by a tightly knit group of women with religious educations.
World Starport (Sp)[edit]
Santorini 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.
World Government (G)[edit]
Santorini is governed by a Feudal Technocracy. Society divides itself based on the technical requirements of the society. Each of these functions are granted as a fief to an individual or group. Leadership of these fiefs determines the head of the government.
Each noble family is dominated by a tightly knit group of women with religious educations. Only these women can hold high political office, although they hire extensive staff organizations which can be gender-mixed. Traditionally, an important noblewoman marries the senior male on her staff, changing husbands when necessary.
The Chalice Sisterhood is entirely compatible with the Solomani Cause. Indeed, the Solomani Movement rose to prominence here at the same time that an alliance of male businessmen and military officers was agitating for more access to political authority. By aligning itself with the Movement, the Santorini monarchy placated these agitators, who could gain influence offworld, and gained a powerful ally in SolSec.
