Reft / Old Islands / 2225

This a wet, mountainous garden world. Most of the land in the most habitable regions of the planet consists of rugged, mountainous islands which are difficult to colonise.

Acadie is ruled from Amondiage, which provides financial support to the colony of Acadie, in turn for full control over its exports, which is mostly from mining.

This is a world which is mostly ocean. There are small island continents with about half the landmass concentrated in a single continent covering the south pole. The northern most tip reaches up to mid-latitudes. Most of the land is rugged mountains, with jungle around the steep coastlines of many of the equatorial islands.

There is single orbital port in geosynchronous orbit that varies between 30° north and south in view of the ground port. There is refuelling, loading and unloading, and shuttles down to the surface. There are some basic hotels, bars and a nightclub, but that is about it.

The low port is type C, at the tip of the southern continent, which is outside the major city of Acadie City. The starport has a lot of support for handling ores coming from the various mining towns around the planet, including the mining settlement of Houillon about 100km to the north on a nearby island.
