Legend

this moon, which orbits a gas giant located in the Minos Cluster, was the Imperial sector capital during the New Order. The moon is a windswept world which supports some rough terrain, including mountains and deserts. The gas giant it orbits is the only planet in the system, itself orbiting a double star. Travnin supports no life on its own, and the human settlers are clustered around a single city and starport. Much of the commerce on the moon was geared toward supporting the Imperial garrison, and when the Empire pulled out of the Cluster, the moon's fortunes went with it. A swoop racing arena was built by the Empire as a form of entertainment and an outlet for frustrated energy, but the poorly-built structure quickly fell into disrepair. Its rotation lasts about 26 standard hours, and its orbit consumes 325 local days.
