Lahti retained starflight during the Long Night and sent ships to surrounding worlds. Those worlds however remained independent as the years went by. Hiver Federation contacts in the early years of the distant Third Imperium helped keep Lahtiıs technology level at the highest for this part of the subsector. A few Vilani settlers traveled to the planet in later years as word of the governmental view traveled across known space. Now the planet is an active trading partner in the subsector. The planet exports varying types of products. GOVERNMENT Lahti is ruled by the Society for a Rational Spirit. The government strictly prohibits other organized religions. All persons working in large organizations such as corporations and the military are expected to be practicing members. The government sponsors a sizable Naval and marine force. A highport Naval base orbits near the highport area of the starport. There is also a naval base on the planet Lahti I Epsilon. The navy has three light cruisers of around 17,000 tons of Solomani design. The other ships are patrol cruisers, fighters, close escorts and SDBıs. The government has extremely poor relations with the Droyne in the subsector since the Droyne failed to respond to a Lahtian merchantıs shipıs distress call two years ago. ATOMSPEHERE ­ The atmosphere is tainted by thick smog and filter masks must be worn outside. Years of uncontrolled burning of hydrocarbons led to the thick smog. POPULATION ­ The population lives in extended urban areas and 2 orbital cities. The capital city of the planet is Sego with a population of 500,000,000. Several of the other major cities are Logan, Nice, Turin and Newago. Coastal communities support the capture of fish and the mountain ranges are the locations of ore mines including uranium and magnesium and coalmines. CULTURE ­ Pregnant women are not allowed to eat meat or fish products and Women who commit crimes are forced to have numbers tattooed on their right forearms and the data entered into a planetary database. These women are forbidden to enter the military or work in large corporations. Despite the overall conservative culture of Lahti, the planet trades in substantial portions with the Hiver worlds to trailing. The Hive Federation has a trade compound on the capital city, Sego. Adventure seeds: The PCıs are asked to escort several large Lahtian merchant ships a few parasecs to Hiver space and return with a cargo load of Hiver robots. The Church of Stellar Divinity has hired the PCıs to free by any means necessary several members of their faith being held in Lahtian prison. The PCıs are asked to deliver a load of cargo to a mining colony on a gas giant moon orbiting the secondary star. What could possibility go wrong??
