Bonn is a fluid world with oceans of a liquid other than water such as ammonia, methane, or hydrocarbons, or other exotic liquids.

Description (Planetology)

Many spacefarers think of Bonn as an orbital port rather than a planet; few venture down to the hostile surface.

History & Background (Dossier)

Apart from specialist outposts, Bonn’s entire 60 million population live and work in a single underground city. Bonn is a very mineral-rich world and heavy investment resulted in an economic powerhouse that exported its goods throughout the rest of the subsector and beyond. The port was built initially to support this trade, but became a secondary source of wealth in a fairly short time.

Starport

The port is a large, advanced, highly capable installation which more than justifies its ‘A’ rating. It is owned and operated by the world government, and represents the main source of income for the planet. Around 12,000 people live and work at the orbital component of the port. Most are recruited offworld, although the management staff and many long-service personnel are locals.
