Shale Blue

Shale Blue

Union World - Thauran World Owned by the Peribar Family GWC 1C Population: 200

Shale Blue was technically a Union world at the furthermost fringes of the Thauran Empire in the Spinward sector of the M-0 galaxy, but it was indeed a fringe world. The Thauran noble family that controlled the world, the Peribar resided on a world twelve light-years distant. Pulam Peribar, the third son of Baron Persor of Peribar was the man in charge, but that was more a joke than anything else. Pulam loved Thauran wine and had no interest in getting help from the Union clinic. He carefully maintained a state of perpetual drunkenness and combined this with extensive naps. That was of little consequence to the patrons of the Shanties Swallow, or pretty much anyone else ob Shale Blue. The entire population did not exceed two hundred heads and that included the twelve Terran Chicken, Galwun Gerorn kept. Shale Blue was not a world that enticed colonization, not that environmental factors alone were reasons keeping Union colonists away, but the combination of the planets apparent lack of resources, the lackluster management and the rather aggressive, stinging insect population were most certainly main factors. That Shale Blue was not very close to anything, Union or even Thauran related was certainly also to be considered.

It is a well-known hang out for spacers and privateers, that weren't exactly high profile criminals but neither model citizens or very enthusiastic subjects of the Thauran Empire. Another reason for people coming here was fuel, the ability to access Union GalNet, the Post Office, the Union Outpost Auto Med Cube and Regul's Repairs. Regul wasn't the best engineer in terms of Union quality, but still far better than anything non-Union in this region. Regul was also able to order spare parts over GalNet and only added a modest profit margin.
