Boughene/Regina
Boughene (A8B3531-D)
The Boughene system
consists of a shallow asteroid belt (Boughene A), a hothouse world
(Boughene-B/Lemuria, E3B0000-0), a small gas giant (Boughene-C/Clara, EG00000-0
with eight moons, the main planet (Boughene-D/Boughene, A8B3531-D), another
asteroid belt (Boughene-E) and finally a major gas giant (Boughene-F/Titan)
with approximately 30 moons. There are also several permanent space habitats
and planetary stations throughout the system.
Boughene has 635,088
inhabitants as of 365-1199, and it is a busy nexus for three Imperial jump
routes. Imperial and client ships enter the system on a daily basis, while an
Imperial Interstellar Scout Service base and an Imperial Navy detachment keep
the peace. Scores of starships are docked at the Althea Starport and Yards in
orbit above the main planet Boughene, but comparatively few make it down to the
surface of the planet, since it is harsh indeed. Boughene is located just
beyond the habitable zone, and it is a cold world with a corrosive
ammonia-based atmosphere. Temperatures are rarely above -40, and howling 100
kph winds occur on a daily basis. The inhabitants live in four major
settlements composed of both domes and caverns.
Several family-owned
companies sponsor the government, making sure that the Boughene system can
import the technical necessities that enable the population to flourish in
high-tech splendor despite the very demanding climate. The population of
Boughene has, for obvious reasons, evolved into a hardy stock, both socially
and in some cases, physically. Certain segments of society have been able to
afford bodily modifications that enable them to cope with the atmosphere.
There are several merchant companies that serve
Boughene and beyond, for example Oberlindes Lines, Galactilines and White Tiger
Cargo.
