Native Lifeforms[edit]

Many exobiologists believe that this world may have a rich shadow sphere of life.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Polyphemus (Solomani Rim 1537) is a prosperous, science-oriented world and is the home of the Polypheman Scientific Academy, a university specializing in robotics and xenosciences, as well as one of the few Hiver embassies in Imperial Space. Polyphemus is the homeworld of High Councilor Kathleen Ryan-Cox, minister of science and technology.

World Starport[edit]

Polyphemus has a Class A Starport, an excellent 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 other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

World Government[edit]

Polyphemus is governed by a Charismatic Dictatorship. Charismatic governments justify their ability to rule by simply asserting their right to rule. Charismatic dictatorships are young governments, coming as a recent change and rely on the leader(s) to supply head of government.
