Waq is a non-agricultural, pre-industrial vacuum world, which warrants hazardous environment precautions.

• Life in a vacuum requires great discipline. After all, it only takes one forgotten seal on a vacuum suit to spell death. Those who survive tend to be very methodically-minded and attentive to small detail.
• It is unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
• 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.
• Its economy and population are slowly growing and living conditions are expected to improve in the near future barring outside forces.
• The world serves as the subsector capital with the significant extra trade and prestige associated with that role.
• It is a member of the Solomani Confederation in the Danvers Subsector of Dark Nebula Sector.

• This world has a Naval Base, usually associated with military starships.
• This world has a Military Base, usually associated with military ground forces.

History & Background / Dossier

In late 210, a series of losses in the Dark Nebula -- including at this world -- led members of the Tlaukhu to open negotiations with Human states in the region, including relative newcomer the Third Imperium. The Wuan Technology Association organised the discussions, which took 16 months to complete and ended with the Treaty of the Dark Nebula, ratified in 212.

World Starport (St)

Waq 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.

• There is an associated Naval Base.

World Military

Waq is the headquarters of the New Libdis Fleet, charged with defence of Yataw, Danvers, and Kimson's Stand subsectors.

Law enforcement officials will be present, but not in great numbers. All firearms, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.
