Jump map from Travellermap.com

Thisbe is a poor, nonindustrial desert world with no free-standing water.

• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Trin's Veil Subsector of Spinward Marches Sector in the Domain of Deneb.
• It is located within the Dodds Cluster.

Description (Planetology)

This marginal world is being terraformed by the MegaCorporation Sharurshid under a contract from the Imperial Ministry of Conservation.

• Ice and frozen gas asteroids are maneuvered from the Thisben planetoid belts to Thisbe, where they improve water availability and atmosphere content.
• Most asteroids are simply broken into small chunks and set in a decaying orbit to eventually augment the atmosphere, though a few fragments do reach the ground, potentially causing a hazard.

History & Background (Dossier)

Thisbe is a poor, non-industrial desert world in the Trin's Veil Subsector of the Spinward Marches.

• Thisbe is not amber zoned but can upon occasion be dangerous.
• Thisbe is ruled by the latest in a long line of dictators, but the population seems content with their rigidly controlled lifestyle, which at least provides security. Despite the heavy hand of law, the Thisbans are currently undergoing a poetic and artistic renaissance.
