Station One is a rich world with a shirt-sleeve atmosphere and a balance of available surface water. The system supports a population in the 100s of millions, which makes it too urbanized to be an agricultural world. It is a member of Third Imperium in the Shallows Subsector of Dagudashaag Sector and in the Domain of Vland. Station One, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estates of an Imperial knight (the Imperial representative to the world) and a baronet, and the fiefdoms of a baron and a viscount. All four are members of the Imperial Landed Nobility who oversee affairs regarding the world at an Interstellar and Imperial level. This world contains an Imperial Scout Base, capable of handling Scout Service starships and personnel. During the Long Night this world was named Kheiik Asam.

Mainworld Data[edit]

The world is widely considered a paradise.

History and Background[edit]

Station One was one of a chain of ten stations established on desolate planets throughout the sector at the time of the Third Imperium's entry (infiltration) into Dagudashaag. The station was closed down in 342.

Even by that time it had become apparent that the world was an uninhabited paradise, so that most of those who had been posted there moved in with their families and settled the world. The original families have continued to dominate the government. 86% of the population of this world are of Sylean descent and the primary language is that of the Sylean Worlds. It has been said that this world is more Sylean than Sylea ever was.

World Starport (Sp)[edit]

Station One has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which features amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

Linguistic Topography[edit]

The following languages are among the most commonly used here:

World Government (G)[edit]

Station One is governed by a Representative Democracy where government leadership is by representatives elected by eligible voters. What determines an eligible voter varies. The representatives determine policy, including selecting members of the bureaucracy. There can be referenda, votes by eligible voters on specific subjects.
