History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
In 912, The Protectorate began to expand its economic power into Retan Subsector. While The Protectorate denied that it was expanding its borders, both the Zhodani and (later) the Third Imperium refused to believe them. The Protectorate exerts such power on this world that political maps of the region sometimes show it as official Protectorate territory.
World Starport (Sp)[edit]
Nule has a Class A Starport, an excellent quality installation which includes all the expected amenities including refined fuel for starships, brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing annual maintenance, overhauls and other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

Nule is governed by a Corporate Polity with a single corporation with a typical corporate structure as a government. A company town, or world.
