Mainworld Atmosphere
Bridgeholm has a pressure of 0.43 to 0.70 atmospheres. While the thin atmosphere does not require survival gear this atmosphere also contains an unusual taint such as such as disease, a hazardous gas mix, pollutants, or sulfur compounds which requires the use of a Filter Mask. Some taints may require more protective equipment. TL–3 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

History & Background (Dossier)
This was where the crew of the Surfing Lighthouse retired to, after their Grand Survey. Theirs was a civilization founded on increasing science, decoding the secrets of the Yaskoydri Technocracy and improving on them.
There is limited data on the history of the colony from there. At some time between -590 (the most recent artifacts that have been definitively dated) and 1 (when Solomani Preserve ambassadors finally arrived and found the world abandoned), the crew's descendants reached a high enough technology level that, as several worlds throughout the history of Charted Space have done, they began rapidly climbing further technology levels until they achieved Singularity and went wherever large populations that achieve it often do. Very little remained to note there had ever been a colony there - except the hulk of the Surfing Lighthouse, with very specific messages for the Preserve when they eventually arrived, mainly pointing them to the Yaskoydri Technocracy.
Naturally, an archaeological colony was immediately founded, to try to dig up any and all secrets the original colonists might have left behind. They were largely unsuccessful: the original colonists appear to have been thorough in eliminating their colony, though whether this was a deliberate snub at the Preserve or an inevitable component of their ascension is unknowable without repeating their act, or finding them.
World Starport
Bridgeholm does not have a starport. The Class X Starport is an indication that no starport exists in the system. There are no facilities or services available, and no site marked for landing.

UWP Listing
The Interstellar Wars UWP represents Bridgeholm as it is believed to have been a century or two after founding, assuming high growth rates starting from the original crew manifest, with educated guesses about the government and law level the scientists would likely have settled on.
The Milieu 0 UWP represents a few hundred years prior to 0, as Bridgeholm is believed to have been shortly before its Singularity, based on what limited archaeological data has been recovered.
The Second Survey UWP represents the archaeological second colony shortly before the Empress Wave forced its abandonment.
