There are a lot of details that we know about Prengular from cannon material. I'm looking for input on how these known facts will impact the cultural perspective of the citizens of Prengular.<br /><br />Its the Hub of the Frontier geographically, economically, perhaps socially (though that could be debated in favor of the headquarters of Star Play I suppose), militarily, and governmentaly. <br /><br />2 mega corps headquartered here: PGC and Galactic Task Force<br />Council of Worlds<br />Star Law headquaters is here (training acad is one planet away)<br />Space Fleet headquaters is here (training academy is one planet away)<br />We might presume that Ground Fleet is headquatered here and that there is a significant base either on Prengular or Morgaines world.<br /><br />Also there is a curious entry in the Alpha Dawn rules concerning High population worlds:<br />[quote=Alpha Dawn] The planet has many large cities that are very crowded, and hundreds of smaller cities. Individual cities may cover hundreds of square kilometers.[/quote] <br />and Zebs expounds on that further:<br />[quote=Zebs] Individual cities may be considered "maxi-cities" that cover thoughsands of square kilometers.[/quote]<br />I believe this entry is to make room for the possibility of some Sci fi speculations of a cities that become the size of a take like PA or the whole Eastern seaboard of the US or like the capitol planet in the star wars univers. The fact that provision is made for it in the rules suggest to me that at least 1 max city ought to exist in the frontier and Port Lorn is the obvious candidate.<br />Culturally speaking I think that a large city like NY or perhaps something in Asia should be a model for the cultural attitudes of the citizens of port Loren.<br /><br />Also a curious fact is that there is no militia for the planet listed in the campaign game for KHs, yet there is a massive Space Fleet presence in the system so its almost like space fleet is their militia that they dont pay for directly. Ie their cashing in on the presence of Space Fleet here. I'm almost certain that a planet such as this does have a militia force of some sort even if they dont pay for space faring hulls. Perhaps its just a Customs service at the port. and the rest of the planet is policed by local police forces. <br /><br />Security for the Council of Worlds? a special detail of Star Law or a "secret service" branch of the Council of Worlds? <br /><br />In my fan cannon and in the materials that I write Triad, Cassidine was the first multirace colony established by vrusk, dralasites and humans upon their discovery of each other and it was for the purpose of expanding cultural and scientific exchange between the species. When yazirians were encountered the same thing was done a Prengular which was closer to the yazirian colonies. In a way Prengular supplants Triad in importance. This should have some impact on the attitudes of Prengularins.<br /><br />With Port Loren being the "maxi-city" of the Frontier and we can say that means its the size of the state of RI? and that there are numerous other cities surrounding it as well as far flung across the planet combine this with a mono rail in downtown Port Loren makes me think that the whole of Port Loren is connected with a high speed mag lev mono rail and that the outer cities (bedroom communities and corporate towns) are also connected by a mag lev mono rail. <br /><br />Two pieces of material culure comes to us from the artwork in the basic game book- the picture of the sathar agent being shot off the mono rail platform shows a poster plastered over another poster- one is for Sutherland's used shuttles and the other is for Soller's Chili parlor located at 723 Milky Way, Armadillo<br /><br />this suggests a suburb called Armadillo and a street called Milky Way. If we latch onto the cusine mentioned we might read that cuisine into the culture of Port Loren. <br /><br />Have I missed any details connected to Port Loren and Prengular?
