Jump map from Travellermap.com

Beratemil is a non-agricultural and nonindustrial world.

• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.
• It is unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
• It has few prospects for economic development. Life here is drastically bleak.
• It is a client state of The Protectorate located in the Retan Subsector of Far Frontiers Sector.

History & Background (Dossier)

In 912, The Protectorate began to expand its economic power into Retan Subsector. While The Protectorate denied that it was expanding its borders, both the Zhodani and (later) the Third Imperium refused to believe them. The Protectorate exerts such power on this world that political maps of the region sometimes show it as official Protectorate territory.

World Starport (Sp)

Atssis 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.

7,000,000

World Demographics

World Government (G)

Atssis is governed by a Corporate Polity, having a single corporation with a typical corporate structure as a government. Essentially, this is a "company town" (or world). The typical corporate-run world usually has a single purpose. Examples include mining, agriculture, or other kinds of resource extraction. But rather than a simple base of operations, there are facilities for housing workers and their families, including hospitals, schools, and other infrastructure. How, or if, the children of the workers are incorporated into the workforce varies with companies. The corporation running the world may be a subsidiary of a larger interstellar corporation.
