History & Background / Dossier[edit]

Valhalla was first settled from the Sindalian Empire in -1407. It joined the Corellan League early, in -1398, but has seceded twice and threatened secession many more times, often precipitating a political crisis for the League.

World Starport[edit]

Valhalla has a Class A Starport, an excellent 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 other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

World Population (P)[edit]

Valhalla has a population of 600,000,000 sophonts (hundreds of millions).

Linguistic Topography[edit]

The common language is "Corellan Galanglic", a distinct dialect of Anglic.

World Technology Level (TL)[edit]

Valhalla possesses a Technology Level of TL–11 or TL-B in Hexadecimal Notation.

World Government (G)[edit]

Valhalla is governed by a Representative Democracy where government leadership is by representatives elected by eligible voters. What determines an eligible voter varies. The representatives determine policy, including selecting members of the bureaucracy. There can be referenda, votes by eligible voters on specific subjects.

As a full member of the Corellan League (at the moment, anyway) Valhalla sends two representatives to the League Assembly, which convenes aboard the Capital Orbital habitat, a station in geosynchronous orbit above Corella.

World Military[edit]

The Acrux-class heavy cruiser is the most prevalent capital ship of the Corellan League naval forces. It is produced in large numbers by the shipyards at Valhalla (as well as under license by Jeremiah)

World Law Level (L)[edit]

Valhalla has a moderate law level with laws covering many areas of government and interaction. These laws are simple enough that most people can act as their own advocate, though for serious issues a professional is recommended. Law enforcement officials will be present, but not in great numbers. Light assault weapons, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.

World Economy[edit]

The Geographos Foundation of Valhalla operates the small orbital starport at Utopia.

Trade Data[edit]

No information yet available.

World Culture[edit]

Strongly democratic and pro-business, the people of Valhalla pride themselves on their prosperity and political freedom. Both are indeed noteworthy, though Valhallans are also notorious as braggarts prone to exaggerating their status.
