History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Teucer is a high-population world, part of the Near Boötes Cluster.

Teucer is a protectorate of Polyphemus (Solomani Rim 1537). It was placed under Polyphemian control in 904 after the collapse of the planetary government. While this is ostensibly intended to help Teucer recover its stability, the Polyphemian aristocracy is ruthlessly exploiting the subjugated planet.

Teucer, despite being a colony of Polyphemus, is now one of the business centers of the Boötean Federation. It is also the home port of Solomani Shipping, a sector-wide passenger and freight service covering the non-Imperial worlds of the Solomani Rim Sector.

World Starport[edit]

Teucer 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.
