Jump map from Travellermap.com

Kotar (Ga 2921) is an agricultural, nonindustrial world still lacking adequate means to expand its economy.

• As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• It is a member of the Swanfei Free Worlds in the Riftin Subsector of Gateway Sector.

• About 80% of the population is composed of humans and other sophonts.
• About 20% of the population is composed of Swanfeh.

	Remarks

History & Background (Dossier)

Kotar is a member of the Swanfei Free Worlds in the Riftin Subsector of Gateway Sector, and like several of the Free Worlds has no system of laws.

For centuries, the "free worlds" were little but a port for pirates and smugglers, but in time, the profits of piracy were used to create legitimate business. Now the Swanfei Free Worlds are a recognised polity, albeit a rather rough-and-ready one.

The Fellowship of Kotar took its name from this system.

World Starport (St)

Kotar has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which features amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

World Population (P)

Kotar has a population of 8,000,000 sophonts (millions).

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