History & Background (Dossier)

The worlds of the Haladon Cooperative are havens for large merchants and free traders alike. With laws aimed at encouraging interstellar trade, the polity is one of the most impressive and diverse marketplaces in the Far Frontiers Sector.

World Starport

Foxe 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 Population (P)

Foxe has a population of 900,000 sophonts (hundreds of thousands).

• This is a Nonindustrial World, too small to support the complete chain of production of most goods from start to finish.
• The population has Imperial, Solomani, and Vlazhdumecta heritage.
• Many families can trace their ancestry to pre-Long Night Vilani colonists.

Urbanization

All urban centers include a large Market District, where goods and commodities of all kinds may be acquired.

Linguistic Topography

• Descar, a local language with Vlazhdumecta and Vilani origins.
• Local languages descended from Vlazhdumecta.
• Riftian Anglic, a dialect of one of the two principal languages of the Imperium.
• Zdetl, the language of the Zhodani and the Zhodani Consulate.

World Government

Foxe is governed by Self-Perpetuating Oligarchy. A single family or small group provides the leadership and important positions within the government. These positions are inherited by members of the group or by their relatives. The organization may be a monarchy, with titles passed to family members, or a plutocracy where inheritance of the family fortune includes government position. Alternatively, the organization may be a more typical government apparatus, only with positions of power inherited.

World Law (L)

Foxe has a moderate level with laws covering many areas of government and interaction. These laws are simple enough that most people can act as their own advocate, though for serious issues a professional is recommended. Law enforcement officials will be present, but not in great numbers. Personal concealable firearms, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.
