Heraklion (3221 Solomani Rim D343312-E):
Planet in the Arcturus Subsector
of the Solomani Rim. A poor, non-industrial planet, the world is given
over to ressource exploitation. Heklion is currently owned and operated
by Lamarck Minerals, LIC.
The planet is largely unremarkable, though the culture
which has developed is of some interest to sociologists. A rough, poorly
policed society, the planet has fostered the development of a strong streak
of self-reliance. Most of the inhabitants are accustomed to bearing arms
from an early age; this is less noticable in the men (who instead tend
to be trained in various types of unsophisticated hand-to-hand combat)
than in the women. Most women on Heraklion carry daggers of a distinctive
and highly useful design. A woman of Heraklion caught without her dagger
in public (or deprived of it against her will) is subjected to considerable
shame and humiliation. -ld MAS
