Barbiestov(A459403-F)
Description
The thin, crisp atmosphere brings a lot of cool gusts over the sporadic islands. Barbiestov's starport is a fully featured facility complete with a spaceport and elevator to a groundport on the surface. One of the ruling family clans here maintains the impressive shipyard attached to the starport and they have been known to produce ships for the Inner Band in drastic times. Barbiestov's population hovers around 30,000 and almost all live in familial enclaves and villages seperated by the great sea. Decades ago a great border war was fought between the Vonne Hurd clan and the Retsfields. Due to the savage executions of the Retsfields during a planet wide parade day, the attack done with IEDs and fully automatic rifles, the ruling families have settled on outlawing anything bigger than an SMG.
Teamsters hustle and move ass between the starport and the different islands bringing trade goods to the families and luxury items off world. The Inner Band does not keep a strict eye on Barbiestov as it does other high tech level planet.
Points of Interest
Starport
The structure is quite a sight, putting to shame even the Inner Band controlled planets to shame. No luxury was overlooked with a general outfitter, full shipyard repairs, and mulitiple plazas filled with luxury shops. Guests living in total luxury stay in the revolving hotel that goes up and down the length of the space elevtor. Rooms at Casa Barbiestov go for 3kcr per week for a standard suite and 9kcr for a penthouse.
Captain Silverfish's Ranch
Old Captain Silverfish has a 35 square acre island he breeds horses on. Other than a humble ranch home his property has a gorgeous stable made from real wood, an air raft port, and a dock for we ships.
Vonne Hurd Family Island
The main compound for the Vonne Hurds is an 80 square acre island dominated by a Snapcrete bunker, some out buildings, a dock, and the neweest addition of an extremely gaudy mausoleum. Fortnightly the Vonne Hurds are seen to gather around the family tomb to dance and weep. Some digruntled teamsters say the Vonne Hurds are known to commune with ghosts.
Lost Probe of Ancient Terra (Hidden)
Dappled gold with spotches of growth cracking where plates meet, the conical structure is stuck in the cliffside of an island too small to inhabit. The databank is missing.
