Beck’s World (D88349D 4 Non-industrial, gas giant)

The Beck System is composed of an asteroid belt, a rocky planetoid, Beck’s World and five gas giants.

Beck’s World is mainly composed of dry plateaus, but the valleys between the plateaus are almost entirely filled with lush tropical forests featuring some truly amazing plant- and wildlife. The system was initially surveyed some 1,400 years ago, although the original records have been lost. It was, however, purchased by the eccentric tycoon Dorian Beck in 78, and used as his personal game reserve and leisure world until Beck’s business empire collapsed in 202. As it were, the staff was left to its own devices, and the system became a backwater, albeit a lush and rather demanding backwater. Many of the sons and daughters of the system left the planet over the course of the centuries, leaving the population at around 10,000.

However, the population has increased steadily over the course of the last hundred years, and as of 300-1199, Beck’s World is estimated to be the home of some 95,230 individuals, mainly humans. There are only a few small towns on Beck’s World, with most of the population occupying large farms in the deep valleys of the planet. The starport is a rarely used slab of stone with an automatic landing beacon on one of the plateaus, and visitors are rare. The planet is ruled by a council of elders that actually have little say over the farmers all over the planet, dealing mainly with matters of defense, interstellar trade and other global policy issues. The Empire has a small representation on Beck’s World in the form of His Excellency Dunbar Rorth.
