History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
The entire population of this world lives on huge mining and manufacturing crawlers that scour this mineral-rich world for resources to be made into exportable products. These roving communities are technically answerable to no one, and the sole governing authority is a council that runs the downport.
World Starport (St)[edit]
Zeycude has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which features amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.
