Addendum: The Shipar system is located just over half a day away from the Perlemian Trade Route in the Darpa sector. The system has just a single planet, Shipar, and an asteroid belt. The asteroid belt is not very dense and is relatively easy for starships to traverse to get to planet beyond. The system is somewhat of a crossroads for the local area with several hyperspace routes crossing through it and as a result there is always a constant stream of traffic.

Shipar itself is an average sized planet and is made up of five large continents that are covered in expansive cities and bustling industrial areas. The only regions of the planet untouched by urbanisation are the steep mountain ranges and vast oceans. Like most temperate planets the weather varies with location and season. However, the winter months tend to be long and bitterly cold thanks to the planet's slightly elliptical orbit.

The planet's capital city, Ferton, is by far the largest city on Shipar and is home to the Imperial Class starport - Dawn's Landing. This massive starport is capable of dealing with 120 starships and can handle even the largest of vessels. All visitors are subject to a blaster scan before proceeding through customs, as civilians are prohibited from carrying weapons whilst on Shipar.

Ferton is also home to the legendary Twilight Club, an extremely popular club on the western side of the city. By day and early evening the club is a fine restaurant and bar. By night it's a packed nightclub with music and DJs from across the sector. The Twilight Club is renowned for its homemade traditional Japti stir fry, which is a spicy poultry dish served with noodles.
