Westfir is a preindustrial, moderate population world with over a hundred million, but not yet at a billion sophonts in population size.
- As a preindustrial world, this planet cannot yet manufacture enough high-technology resources to support a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
- This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or over technology standards for Charted Space.
- It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Pasdaruu Subsector of Diaspora Sector in the Domain of Sol.

History & Background[edit]
No information yet available.
Imperial High (Landed) Nobility[edit]
Westfir, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estates of three members of the Imperial Nobility, who are charged with overseeing the world.
- It holds the estate of an Imperial knight.
- It holds the fiefdom of an Imperial marquis.
- It holds the fiefdom of an Imperial viscount.
History-Era: Rebellion[edit]
Arguably, the most important (or frequently visited) world in the system is Westfir, which suffered over 50 million civilian casualties during the first 10 years of the Rebellion (which which has lost many more due to 10 years of steady emigration).
- Westfir's class-B starport and (comparatively) high tech level still make it an appealing place to trade, attracting merchants from the Khavle subsector as well. Westfir is still (technically) part of the Outlands, however.
