Mainworld Data[edit]

There is a severe axial tilt. The climate is harsh, with summer temperatures above 300°C. In the winter the temperature may sink below -46°C. These severe swings in temperature make it a dangerous place to live.

  • There are frequently storms that can easily kill an unwary traveller.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Soungadano is a former prison planet for the Thoengling Empire.

  • Some still view it as a prison planet, and some criminals have the choice between selecting a ordinary sentence or trying to re-install their charisma by working for a living on Soungadano.

The main exports are compounds and crystals. Animals both dead and alive are also an export article, but not a very popular one.

World Starport (Sp)[edit]

Soungadano 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.

New Era[edit]

The world has been isolated since the Virus struck. How the conditions are on the planet at this time is unknown.
