Vida is an unimportant world. Positioned near a minor trade route, the starport sees some traffic, as Vida is fairly productive for a low tech world. The income received from fuel sales helps to keep the starport funded. Note that there is no orbital station. Refueling from the world’s oceans is also “technically” illegal, though the government can’t do a thing other than fine any offenders when they return (assuming they are noticed doing so, of course).
Tidally locked to its parent star, and possessing a thin, tainted atmosphere, life on Vida is not easy. The few people who call Vida home are clustered in a series of minor towns and settlements within a few hundred kilometers of the capital city (where the starport is located, of course). Surprisingly, though, there are few instances of dangerous storms on Vida, compared to other, similar tidally-locked worlds. There are few theories as to why this is the case, and no real studies have been conducted on the matter.
A small handful of worlds are “settled” in the outer system. These worlds have been established principally to mine resources, though the large world in orbit #5 has been settled by a group who wanted the challenge of a higher gravity world. Local gravity on this world is only around 1.3 G’s – more than enough to make things somewhat difficult for settlers, but not too dangerous, either. So far this colony, settled around ten years ago, has faired well.
