Terraforming[edit]

The world was initially settled in the hope that it could be terraformed for easier access to its mineral resources.

  • When terraforming failed, the colonists moved into underground tunnels. These tunnels are wide avenues connecting vast open caverns.
  • Due to extreme electromagnetic fields, the inhabitants have developed technology that does not rely on electricity (clockwork, steam and other, older technologies).

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

McClellan Factors.jpg

Walei (also known as Walgrave) is a Non-Aligned world located in the Egyrn Subsector of the Trojan Reach.

  • At over 80 million, it has the highest population in the subsector.
  • The trading cartel McClellan Factors maintains a Factor on the mainworld.

World Starport[edit]

Walei has a Class E Starport, a frontier quality installation with few expected amenities. There is unrefined fuel for starships and a limited variety of ship provisions. There is no shipyard of any kind, but there may be parts and technical support for doing minor services and repair. Ports of this classification generally consist of a downport.
