System Data[edit]

Although bypassed by the larger corporate freighters and liners, Unishpiir serves as the closest departure point to the minor trader wishing to bridge the two parsec gap between the Dagudashaag Main and the Vilani Main. It is known as the J-2 Amigu-Unlshplir Jump Bridge.

History & Background / Dossier[edit]

Logo Makhidkarun.png

Unishpiir was first mentioned in -7710 in connection with a newly established Vilani company called Da'Gu'Dushaage, which manufactured life support equipment. The company apparently went into liquidation sometime prior to the Rule of Man but the Vilani colony on Unishpiir has remained. Today Unishpiir is the primary Dagudashaag Sector distribution point for most Makhidkarun entertainment programmes designed in Gushemege Sector. It also manufactures several models of hand computer and tri-vee consoles.

World Starport (Sp)[edit]

Unishpiir 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.

World Population (P)[edit]

Unishpiir has a population of 7,000,000,000 sophonts (billions).

World Demographics[edit]

World Government (G)[edit]

Unishpiir has a Captive Government or Colony. The world is ruled by an external government, there is no self-rule. This is a colony or conquered area. The local government is an oligarchy appointed by, and answerable only to, the external government.

Governance of this world is from Upag.

World Culture[edit]

Despite a high proportion of Ziadd and Lancians in the population the entire planet is run along Vilani lines by representatives from Makhidkarun. Racial tension runs high and military intervention into the Ziadd ghettos is a regular event.
