History and Background[edit]
Stovall was the one piece of territory that neither the Corellans nor the Federation of Garrone (precursor to the Stormhaven Republic) wanted for themselves, and it evolved into a freeport and neutral meeting ground between the two states. Organised crime and piracy are not tolerated, and a powerful contingent of mercenaries protect the world's markets and port. In recent years the world has become a magnet for Aslan outcasts and renegades that have started to create their own niche.
The Gateway Consortium has established a starport-class waystation and has become the effective system government.
World Starport (Sp)[edit]
Stovall 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.
World Languages[edit]
- The distinct Galanglic dialect known as "Corellan Galanglic".
World Government (G)[edit]
Stovall is governed by a Corporate Polity, having a single corporation with a typical corporate structure as a government. Essentially, this is a "company town" (or world). The typical corporate-run world usually has a single purpose. Examples include mining, agriculture, or other kinds of resource extraction. But rather than a simple base of operations, there are facilities for housing workers and their families, including hospitals, schools, and other infrastructure. How, or if, the children of the workers are incorporated into the workforce varies with companies. The corporation running the world may be a subsidiary of a larger interstellar corporation.
Governance of this world is by the Gateway Consortium.
World Law Level (L)[edit]
Stovall has a moderate law level with laws covering many areas of government and interaction. These laws are simple enough that most people can act as their own advocate, though for serious issues a professional is recommended. Law enforcement officials will be present, but not in great numbers. Light assault weapons, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.
