History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Humans first settled Shekerleb in -1056.

World Starport[edit]

Shekerleb 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.

  • There is an associated Corellan League Naval Base.

World Population (P)[edit]

Shekerleb has a population of 50,000,000 sophonts (tens of millions).

World Demographics[edit]

Almost all residents are humans of Solomani descent.

Linguistic Topography[edit]

The common language is "Corellan Galanglic", a distinct dialect of Anglic.

World Government (G)[edit]

Shekerleb is governed by an Impersonal Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government takes another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy dictates government policy and its execution. Government leadership is reduced to little more than figureheads and does not select the bureaucracy leadership or its members.

As a full member of the Corellan League, Shekerleb sends two representatives to the League Assembly, which convenes aboard the Capital Orbital habitat, a station in geosynchronous orbit above Corella.

World Law (L)[edit]

Shekerleb has a high law level with laws covering many areas of interactions of people, corporations, and the government. A few worlds with this law level may be Amber Zones. Any interaction with the judicial system requires an Advocate trained in the local legal system. Law enforcement is present almost everywhere, either as people or via technology. Legal proceedings can take weeks to months to resolve and involve a dozen or more people. All blade weapons and firearms, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.
