Bridgehead is a nonindustrial vacuum world, which warrants hazardous environment precautions.

  • Life in a vacuum requires great discipline. After all, it only takes one forgotten seal on a vacuum suit to spell death. Those who survive tend to be very methodically-minded and attentive to small detail.
  • 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.
  • It is a member of the Solomani Confederation in the Kimson's Stand Subsector of Dark Nebula Sector.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)[edit]

This system is part of the New Libdis-Pindur Main, also known popularly as the Savage Main.
