Dipa is a high-population, non-agricultural and industrial vacuum world, with a billion or more sophonts in population size, warranting hazardous environment precautions.

• As an industrial world, this planet has well-developed manufacturing and processing industries. Manufactured goods are a major export item.
• It is unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Pact Subsector of Dagudashaag Sector in the Domain of Vland.
• This world has an Imperial Scout base, capable of handling IISS starships and personnel.

Description

Dipa is one of the main population centres of the Pact Subsector and a major industrial producer.

Most of the population are located in two megacities, John-Paul and Messiah because a considerable amount of the planetary surface is extremely vulnerable to volcanic eruptions.

Dipa has two stars in the star system.

History & Background (Dossier)

The planet was initially colonised by religious followers of Father Emmanuel Dipa, a disgruntled Jesuit priest and a founder of the Brethren religion. It still remains a major religious capital today and millions of Brethren pilgrims visit each year. The Brethren religion, while followed by the majority of the population, is easy going with other faiths and, while under a firm rule of law, personal freedoms are extensive. The faith dictates charity is of immense importance, especially when directed at those the Church has classified as "unfortunate". On Dipa, "unfortunate" generally describes those offworlders, not of Brethren faith, who are not permitted to secure employment but instead are granted charity by the state.

The system is closely linked with Medurma. During the days of the Pact, these two worlds formed the core. Even today, they tend to see eye to eye on most interstellar issues though generally for different reasons. This co-operation has increased in recent years and the Brethren beliefs are considered to be a major force for good on Medurman policy.
