History and Background[edit]
Aashma is a bureaucratic outpost of Arna though the two could not be more dissimilar. The Ashamae are extremely efficient, hard working, and officious in the extreme. This latter is partly to ensure they extract the maximum amount in port taxes from the traffic along the X-boat link, but mostly because they are underpaid and trapped on an airless rock with nothing better to do.
Linguistic Topography: 1105[edit]
The following languages are among the most commonly heard here:
- Anglic: One of the two official languages of the Third Imperium.
- Vilani: One of the two official languages of the Third Imperium.
World Culture[edit]
Local Sports[edit]
The Aashamae are sports mad. The only chance they get to relax is watching and gambling on sports. The huge domes for low gravity sport events dotted all around the spaceport are testimony to this. The regulations are tight and the officious, and logical-minded Aashamae spend hours calculating new odds strategies.
Illicit Substances[edit]
There is a constant smuggling effort to import Seaweed from the neighboring Arna where it is legal. The locals have tried to get the drug legalized, but disapproval from the Starport Authority and IISS have prevented it. Punishment for smuggling or resale are fines is steep enough to put most smugglers out of business. This constant demand has resulted in customs officials resorting to ship-wide searches (with corresponding delays to shipping).
