Description:
Its population now stands at approximately a billion. Population pressure could well have become a problem, given the planet's large population and relative lack of dry land on which to build. However, this problem was solved by housing most of Collace’s inhabitants in arcologies, often built in clusters. A baneful consequence of “clustering” is that the middle- and upper-classes have tended to gravitate into newer, more expensive, high-security arcologies, leaving the older and less expensive structures to the working class and poor. Many of the lower-class arcologies have become increasingly run-down and experience high levels of criminal activity, much of it ‘run’ by organized criminal gangs.
Notes:
Tainted Thin atmosphere requires light TL13 masks.
Law – strict military weaons capable of autofire are prohibited (SMGs, pistols are in). Cops wear cloth and helmets as minimum protection.
Visitors should be aware that Collace is a high-crime planet (including many violent crimes involving firearms) and that offworlders are preferred targets.
The planet hosts a Scout Base on Kirkton -- Collace’s principal moon and an ISS presence throughout the system. Imperial facilities are guarded by local PDF forces reflecting the pro Imperial position of the government.
Collace is the site of a major SuSAG pharmaceutical factory.
