Thebes

Union Planet, Home World of the Saran. Seat of the Queen.

--

Thebes is a Garden World that has been cultivated and altered for many thousands of years. It has carefully preserved wilderness areas (that are managed) The only “virtually” untouched area is the Region of the Annurrai Mountains, but even there lives a very reclusive tribe of Mountain people. Population is also managed and kept at a 2 Billion Level ( colonization and birth control). The last Space Port on Saran has been closed only 200 years ago and replaced with Transmatter and shuttle service to a new Central System Space Port Hub. (The trend to Central Traffic Hubs can be seen in all Core region Union Systems. There are many Temples and Palaces, and several large metropolis. Thebes is both an ancient world and a modern one. With the exception of Artisan products, Religious effigies and items nothing is really produced on Thebes anymore. The Climate is regulated and kept at a balmy 22 Degs on the C Scale. There is a very active Tourism industry seeing 130-140 million tourists annually. Mostly due to the fact Thebes is the site of several Temples and religious festivities and that the Saran State Religion is also the biggest and most popular religion of the Union.

Local Laws are extensive and the Queens will is Law. While Slavery is abolished, the Serf Community is large and they are all kept as “Non-Cit” even though they all have the chance to go to School and become Citizens. (The Saran Serf Controversy)

Visitors are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the local laws. Imports: Food, Lux and Ultra Lux, General Merchandise Exports: Religious items, Effigies
