History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

For a while, this world was contested by the Katowice Conquest and the Old Worlds from which the Conquest leadership descend. Since about 750 the two nations have accepted one another's territory, and a series of joint declarations in the 800s made the border and the status of this world all but permanent.

In the 900s, the capital of the Katowice Conquest was located here; it subsequently relocated back to Katowice. The population decreased significantly as locals emigrated to other worlds of the Conquest, and Zywiec gained an Amber Zone travel warning.

World Starport[edit]

Zywiec 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.

World Population (P)[edit]

Zywiec has a population of 100,000,000 sophonts (hundreds of millions).
