Point of Interest: "World Ash" Space Elevator

The World Ash of Yggdrasil is a space elevator composed of six thousand kilometers of carbon nanotube and glassteel, which rises from a mountain on the equator into orbit.

• The royal family have their celestial palace on the counterweight atop the elevator.

History & Background (Dossier)

Yggdrasil is ruled by the Golden Queen, who traces her lineage to the rulers of the Sindalian Empire.

• When the empire fell, one of the rulers fled to Yggdrasil and started the current royal line.
• Refugees from Yggdrasil itself settled Garrone (now Stormhaven).

The Imperium made brief contact with Yggdrasil in 151, during an attempt to find a route across the Great Rift. More substantial recontact occurred two generations later.

• Yggdrasil, with its space elevator and high-capacity starport, was the ideal place for the Imperium to establish a trading post.

World Starport (Sp)

Yggdrasil 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.
