This system is defended by a squadron of (20) Colby Class Monitors.

In the 1110s, Colby suffered heavily in pirate raids.

World Starport

Colby 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.
