World Starport

Gallego has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which includes amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

The Gallego downport is largely run by automation, with a skeleton staff of off-world administration, skilled mechanics, and maintenance workers.

World Technology Level

Gallego possesses a Technology Level of TL–11 or TL-B in Hexadecimal Notation.

World Government

Gallego has no central government for the world, an Anarchy. The largest governmental structure would be a family, tribe, or single clan. The largest group will be between 50 and 100 individuals, and there may be dozens to hundreds of them. This governmental structure can be stable over long periods of time if the population remains small or geographically separated.

No formal governmental structure was identified.

World Law Level

Gallego has a low law level. There are few laws, covering only important areas. There may be few or no law enforcement officers, the expectation is citizens will bring law breakers to the attention of the Judicial system. Legal proceedings will be fast, with few people involved. For interactions outside of the framework of the laws, cultural norms dominate. Body pistols, explosives, and poison gas are typically regulated or prohibited.

The population seems to be heavily-armed as a group.

World Culture

Much like Cadiz, we were met just past the outer downport portal by a heavily-armed group of about 50 citizens. Some of them wore reflect and carried laser carbines. They were more or less formally dressed in Church sanctioned attire, clearly identifying their status and occupations (see attached VR/AR). We were clearly told that we and our kind were not welcome and not wanted, and that "God would put paid to us for our sins" and to (again) "be off".

By observation, it is apparently that this colony has basic fusion power and at least a secured colony network.

Urbanization

Most structures seemed to be type II and type III Orient domes with standard interconnections.
