Thisbe is a poor, nonindustrial desert world with no free-standing water.
- 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 Third Imperium in the Trin's Veil Subsector of Spinward Marches Sector in the Domain of Deneb.
- This dangerous world is designated an Amber Zone with an environment, laws, customs, life forms, or other conditions that make it dangerous to visitors.
- It is located within the Dodds Cluster.
Description (Astrography & Planetology)
Stars
Thisbe has a solitary primary star.
- It is a white main sequence.
This marginal world is being terraformed by Sharurshid under a contract from the Imperial Ministry of Conservation.
Ice and frozen gas asteroids are maneuvered from the Thisben planetoid belts to Thisbe, where they improve water availability and atmosphere content. Most asteroids are simply broken into small chunks and set in a decaying orbit to eventually augment the atmosphere, though a few fragments do reach the ground, potentially causing a hazard.
History & Background (Dossier)
Thisbe is ruled by the latest in a long line of dictators, but the population seems content with their rigidly controlled lifestyle, which at least provides security. Despite the heavy hand of law, the Thisbans are currently undergoing a poetic and artistic renaissance.
