Petra, Planet

Petra, Planet

one of the largest and oldest saran Colonies and the largest Saran Mega-Polis bigger than Theben, Alexandria and Noor. (Theben being the Main planet)

Petra is the seat of the old Government (Administrative, not the Queens Palace) and the old seat and HQ of the Saran military.

With Saran Union membership the Military aspect has changed to a major Union Fleet center.

There are dozens of large Fleet Ship yards in the system.

Petra is the HQ for the Saran Palace Guard (Still a force of about 20 Million).

Petra and the surrounding planets are heavily industrialised.

It has a population of about 12 billion individuals. It is a busy Union world not far behind of Ross 128 or Blue Moon.

On Petra is the Union Sector Court and the Capital Ship Development Bureau of the Fleet.

Petra is a tired polluted and exhausted world. Only recently efforts are made to relocate industries into deep space or underground. Wurgus and Terran Eco Restore Companies have begun to restore some of the planets original beauty.

Petra is a Union Core Planet and connected via Space Train, HJH and since 5040 connected via Trans MAtter Tunnel to Blue Moon and the other Core worlds.
