History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

With 7 billion inhabitants, Kurland is the highest population world in the subsector.

World Starport (Sp)[edit]

Kurland 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)[edit]

Kurland has a population of 7,000,000,000 sophonts (billions).

World Government (G)[edit]

Kurland is governed by a Charismatic Oligarchy, like a charismatic dictatorship in that a larger group has asserted their right to rule. The group will likely have better rules of succession than a single dictator and may last longer, or may transition to a non-charismatic dictatorship.
