Notes - First settled in the year -4 FSL (also known as 4 PFSL) by Milo Redkin and his weary band of war refugees during the great land rush, and prior to the existence of the Free States League the colony almost died in it's first year when hostile native animals overran the oxygen generation plant that had been setup to support the colony. Never a starfaring nation, the colony at first just barely subsisted, and then finally thrived, but only after traders from Nardea came to visit in 37 FSL did the colony finally send citizens and diplomats back out into space to trade with neighboring star systems. This is a temperate world, but with entirely too much nitrogen in the atmosphere, and not enough oxygen, necessitating the use of oxygen tanks when outdoors outside of the custom designed subterranean domes that serve as cities and towns for the human population. Always friendly with the Nardeans, the Barberus citizens became signatory to the First Free States Convention in 121 FSL, and have been good allies of the Nardeans ever since.

The local starport is owned completely by Nardean Mega-Corporations, and any spacecraft or starships are granted permission to repair, refit or be constructed on a roll of 3+ otherwise a maintenance or construction license costing 10,000 cr is required, not from the planetary govermnent, but from the Starport Administrative Offices. Note: specific parts or ships subsystems in the shipyards are only available on a roll of 8+ otherwise, the parts have to be ordered from Nardea and will take anywhere from 2-4 weeks to arrive.
