Trend is a nonindustrial world, that requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.

• In a technological universe, societies without industrial capability generally suffer as nearly all manufactured and high tech goods must be brought in at significant cost.
• 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.

History & Background (Dossier)

After siblings Joachim and Jennifer Hefrin arrived on Khiiszarbi in 745 to establish the United Spinward Worlds, they set up an additional colony on Trend.

World Starport

Trend 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.

The Hefrin Colony government now spends its entire defence budget on hiring Jarnaci contractors as security officers and pays subsidies to the starport here (among others) to cover the theoretical lost revenue from granting docking privileges to Jarnaci patrol corvettes.

Population

40,000

Military

Each member of the United Spinward Worlds (AKA Hefrin Colony) is authorised to raise a militia and close orbit defence force, but Trend has not done so.
