Weslaco is a rich, nonindustrial water world, which has 90% or more of its surface covered in an ocean of water.

• The inhabitants of this world live on the roughly 10% of exposed land mass, in underwater colonies, on city ships, or similar arrangements.
• It has high-grade living conditions and life on this world is much admired by off-worlders.
• This is a rich world with a prosperous and thriving world economy.
• 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.
• This world is a member of the Trelyn Domain (the Duchy of Trelyn) located in the Coos Subsector of Vanguard Reaches Sector.

• This world is a colony of Karelian.
• It is a member of the Trelyn Main.

Weslaco has 95-100% of its surface covered by liquid water with only a few islands and archipelagos. Wilderness refueling is possible. Such worlds are Water Worlds or Ocean Worlds.

History & Background (Dossier)

To comply with the terms of its Imperial charter, the Allarton Corporation, the Imperial corporation underpinning the Trelyn Domain, is limited to operations exclusively within the Trelyn Subsector of Vanguard Reaches Sector. Allarton officials and representatives may occasionally conduct business on other worlds of the Domain.

• Corporate operations in other areas of the Vanguard Reaches are conducted under the wholly owned Pan-Melesien Company.
• Corporate operations in the Far Frontiers Sector are conducted under the wholly owned Artesian Company, based at Yster.

Both subsidiary companies may be active on worlds far beyond their official operating areas.
