Point of Interest: Iilodav Music Festival

This world, though beautiful and varied, would not have its present volume of traffic and tourism were it not for the Iilodav Music Festival.

• Performers and performing groups come from all over the Imperium to study and perform here:
• Hallow's performance facilities are superb, and the Meinel Conservatory has a library of music that many claim is unequaled within the Imperium.
• Here you can find and hear compositions ranging from the ancient Kilatis' of Baarid Garuud and the Claconas and Fugues of Dietrich Bixtehude to the most modern compositions of Bran Ralu, Eafeahkhail Eeskha, and Robin Garcia.
• There are even occasional performances of the music and drama of Droyne, Hiver, Vargr, and non-Imperial Aslan cultures.

World Starport (St)

Udipeni 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.

World Law (L)

Udipeni has an extreme law level which covers every area of interaction. Laws are complex, detailed, and difficult to understand. Every interaction with the government requires an Advocate. Law enforcement is omnipresent and strict. Legal proceeding can take months to years to resolve and may involve dozens of people. A few worlds with this law level may be a Red Zone and others will be an Amber Zone. All objects specifically manufactured as weapons are typically regulated or prohibited (with no exception for private residences; visiting starships are only protected so long as they stay within designated starports and approach corridors).
