Planetary Data

Geographic Data

Courier is smaller than Earth, with an equatorial diameter of 9,900 km and a surface gravity of 0.75g. It has a very thin atmosphere (0.35atm) that is breathable with a respirator. Shallow seas cover approximately half the planet's surface. Courir's proximity to its star makes it a temperate world, despite its relatively thin atmosphere.

Demographics

Courir's 430,000 citizens are often antagonistic towards outsiders, and the culture's mendacious nature does nothing to counter this. Courir's distance from more civilized worlds and its location at the very edge of human space makes presenting an accurate portrayal of its people difficult, if not impossible. What little about them is agreed upon is that they are a conservative, xenophobic society that barely tolerates visitation from neighboring systems.

Economics

The bulk of Courir's slim economy is based on exporting common ores, though the planet is also the source of a regional market for various addictive substances manufactured in poorly-controlled conditions.

Politics

Courir's population is small enough to rely on consensus at various levels, from "outpost law" to planet-impacting decisions. There are no official "rulers", though economic or military strength affords some citizens more rights than others.
