System Data[edit]

Suakan is the most rimward of the worlds of the Ninlakim Trace.

Mainworld Data[edit]

The atmospheric taint has meant that Human life is confined to a series of domed cities along the chain of lakes that dominate the north east face of this world.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Suakan has little to offer off-worlders. Barely self-sufficient in minerals and food products, its inhabitants are extremely insular and do not welcome off-worlders.

Beaked Monkeys were accidentally introduced into the local ecology in 105. It was assumed that the creatures would die out very quickly, being exposed to the unusually high oxygen content. In fact the Beakers thrived, carving out a niche for themselves fairly high up local food chains.

World Starport (St)[edit]

Suakan 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.

  • The company Indigo Imports is part owner of the Starport on Suakan.

World Culture[edit]

The culture is recognizably Vilani.
