History and Background

Uthurrvon is a smallish world, with next-to-no air and lots of ice. Most settlements are just grounded spacecraft and starships, with the occasional proper closed-cycle habitat, typically sustaining 10-20 Vargr residents. The planet can only do work at TL 6, so there is a lot of kludged, make-do repairs and substandard maintenance. The starport is at properly maintained, TL 12 specs, and the startown is also at TL 12, with maintenance conducted by off-world Yogeshio techs (instead of the usual Iper’Mar tech tyrants). The Yogesh System Administration maintains 40 troopers who provide security for both the starport and the town of Askfedhdho.

The single town on the planet, Askfedhdho (pop. 800), the starport region, and the surrounding area remain under Yogeshio martial law - complete with tech bans, weapon bans, ban of groups of five or more Vargr in the startown, and strict curfews. The rest of the world is only occasionally patrolled (on the ground or in the air vacuum) by heavily-armed TL 12 troops, on the lookout for military preparations, off-world technology, or other signs of assistance by friendly Vargr pirates.

The Class-B starport is kept in good shape by the Imperium (a.k.a. the Duke of Yogesh, who is the subsector head of the Imperial government, after all.)

Imperial starports are unarmed by policy, but there are usually two Imperial Navy SDBs posted here: the place is a known watering hole for pirates, especially Vargr ones with friends dirtside. The planet has no native anti-ship weaponry, but the stellar-tech Yogeshio ground troops can tear apart a typical thug-based pirate landing party, if led with even middling competence.

Recently, pirate ships have been visiting Uthurrvon during gaps in the patrol schedule. Interestingly, the starport has been ignored. Instead, the pirate ships drop into Vargr territory, and head back directly to the stars again. A fair number of the observational satellites have been shot up, so the exact location is unknown, but the starport staff can give an approximate location, based on what they can spot and some good guesses.
