History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Imperial Landed Nobility[edit]

Booce, as a member world of the Third Imperium has a member of the Imperial Landed Nobility who acts as an Imperial representative to the world.

World Starport (St)[edit]

Booce has a Class D Starport, a poor quality installation which has few of the 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 only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

History-Era: New Era[edit]

Booce was a backwater planet in Imperial times with a dozen small villages without a central government. The Virus infection in 1131 had only minor effect on the imported satellite communicators and the downport transponder check computer. It was easily defended by the locals, without any losses in local population. Each village is controlled by its own government, and the loss of a central satellite network together with the isolation from the empire, has even increased the balkanization effect.
