History & Background

• It holds the estate of an Imperial knight.

World Starport

Hike 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.

Historical Data

Rebellion Era

Hike is one of the two major repair centers for local shipping (the other is Wake), particularly the starships that serve the Khavle Accordment. Some ships make the run up to the A-class starport at Medora, but most stay on the Khavle Main, which cuts through the heart of this subsector. Organized convoys will occasionally undertake the long journey to Delphi and Margaret's Safe, where the wonders of technology may be found and purchased, albeit at exorbitant prices.

• Hike is attempting to put together enough financing to boost itself back up to TL 9. At its current tech level of 8, Hike's starport is hard pressed to function as a true B-class facility.
