- Individual settlements outside the spaceport tend to cluster around a pressurized greenhouse.
- Most surface travel is by tracked vehicle.
History & Background (Dossier)
Population about 72,000. Colonized following the Third Frontier War in 990 by a group of Sword Worlds dissidents.
- Recent problems have stemmed from the fact that the inhabitants have more sympathy for the Sword Worlds their ancestors left than for the Imperium.
