Native Lifeforms

Castrum once hosted a rich variety of native life but centuries of pollution have degraded the environment, causing the extinction of much of the large fauna.

History & Background (Dossier)

The people of Castrum, who proudly call themselves the Legion, have dedicated their lives to the worship of Aurelio, a supposedly immortal ruler with the power to cure the sick and intercede between his flock and a deified universe.

World Starport

Castrum has a Class E Starport, a frontier quality installation with few expected amenities. There is unrefined fuel for starships and a limited variety of ship provisions. There is no shipyard of any kind, but there may be parts and technical support for doing minor services and repair. Ports of this classification generally consist of a downport.

Urbanization

The world's cities are decayed to sprawling slums, while the air and water are fouled with the pollution of fossil fuels.
