History and background

A small low-grade colony consisting of 3 Colony domes almost equally spaced around the equator of one of the largest satellites in the system. This world has little to recommend it.

The world is the birthplace of Lorna Beldshander, actress and singer, who's endeavors are today considered to constitute some of the best Holopics of the 1040s.

World Starport

TBD 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 Government

This governmental structure can be stable over long periods of time if the population remains small or geographically separated.
