History & Background (Dossier)

The Keawoaw system was once a Rimward outpost of the Sindalian Empire. The system was later claimed by the Aslan Tokouea'we Clan, and thus became part of the Glorious Empire when the clan broke from the Aslan Hierate.

• Black Market activity is rife here, with temporary trading posts and smuggling stations springing up across the system.

World Starport (St)

Keawoaw 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.

World Population (P)

Keawoaw has a population of 40,000 sophonts (tens of thousands).

• This is a Nonindustrial World, too small to support the complete chain of production of most goods from start to finish.
