Thermal is a poor, nonindustrial world.

  • As a nonindustrial world, it requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.
  • This world has few prospects for economic development.
  • It is a member of the Galian Federation in the Arconna Subsector of Gateway Sector.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

The Galians have offered generous land grants to refugees, hoping to attract immigration to build a robust economic base on Thermal.

World Starport[edit]

Thermal has a Class D Starport, a poor quality installation which has few of the expected amenities. There is unrefined fuel for starships and a limited variety of ship provisions. There is no shipyard of any kind, but there may be parts and technical support for doing minor services and repair. Ports of this classification generally consist of only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.
