History & Background (Dossier)

To comply with the terms of its Imperial charter, the Allarton Corporation, the Imperial corporation underpinning the Trelyn Domain, is limited to operations exclusively within the Trelyn Subsector of Vanguard Reaches Sector. Allarton officials and representatives may occasionally conduct business on other worlds of the Domain.

• Corporate operations in other areas of the Vanguard Reaches are conducted under the wholly owned Pan-Melesien Company.
• Corporate operations in the Far Frontiers Sector are conducted under the wholly owned Artesian Company, based at Yster.

Both subsidiary companies may be active on worlds far beyond their official operating areas.

Toppa has a Class E Starport, a frontier quality installation with few 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 a downport.
