History and background

This world is a small, self-sufficient Ziadd mining colony. Recent valuable ore finds have promised to transform the importance of Maq'appav. Interests on Zeda (Dagudashaag 0721) are putting up financing for further exploration and development of the starport. Preliminary agreements have been signed with corporations in Gushemege Sector for the bulk of the ores, and with Nueva Esperanza (Dagudashaag 0123) as a storage and shipping site.

World Starport

Maq'appav 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.

World Population (P)

Maq'appav has a population of 9,000 sophonts (thousands).

• This is a Low Population World and the population would be too low to sustain itself without a little outside assistance. This may represent the home base of a sizable but mostly transient population such as the base of a major starship expedition, the last generation of a dying colony, the first generation of a new colony, or a large outpost that will probably evolve into a colony if not stopped.

World Demographics

The inhabitants are Ziadd, drawn from several Chaiklin.

World Government

Maq'appav is governed by a Corporate Polity with a single corporation with a typical corporate structure as a government. A company town, or world. The typical corporate run world usually has a single purpose. Examples include mining, agriculture, or other kinds of resource extraction. But rather than a simple base of operations, there are facilities for housing workers and their families including hospitals, schools, and other infrastructure. How, or if, the children of the workers are incorporated into the workforce varies with companies. The corporation running the world may be a subsidiary of a larger interstellar corporation.
