System Data

There are outposts on some of the gas giant moons. The only other planet that is inhabited is Traefar, the next farthest out from Torpol. There are mining corporations and belters in both the inner and outer planetoid belts, including a presence by the Sternmetal Horizons megacorporation in the inner belt.

History & Background (Dossier)

Torpol is a non-aligned water world in the Tlaiowaha Subsector of the Trojan Reach.

• Torpol was formerly a member of the Kingdom of Drinax, until the Kingdom was shattered in a war with the Aslan Hierate.

Urbanization

Torpol is a water world, with no surface land.

The limited population lives on the ice caps at the north and south poles of the planet, or on huge stilt-supported platforms built in shallow water. The planet’s primary industry is, unsurprisingly, fishing and producing hydrogen fuel for the trade convoys that dock here.

Economy

Despite Torpol’s lack of natural resources, the provosts who rule the planet have proven themselves canny merchants, buying and selling goods along the Florian trade route. The eccentric Florian League is a difficult trading partner, as guessing what the Floriani will decide to invest in next is something of an art, and the provosts have studied the demands of the distant League in order to predict which goods will sell to the League in coming years.
