Despite lying around 7 parsecs from the nearest non-rift Imperial world, Gunahami is a full member of the Third Imperium.

World Starport (St)[edit]

Gunahami 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.

Gunahami has a population of 50,000,000 sophonts (tens of millions).

  • Almost the whole of the population consists of Droyne.
  • The Droyne appear to have been present on the world for millennia.
