History and Background

A relative backwater, the only item of interest is the IISS base which runs a surveillance operation on the indigenous aquatic lifeforms.

The substantial Human population is dispersed along the equator, where they are concerned with their low-tech subsistence farms.

World Starport (St)

Bakhuma 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.
