Owner History

Planetary Info

Les Halles is a frozen world. Only a narrow strip of land around the equator is free of ice, while the rest of the world is covered in glaciers. The soil is filled with rocks and clearing land for agriculture is expensive. Between the lack of soil and low temperature, agriculture plays almost no part in Les Halles' economy.

Les Halles was only settled because of its location. Strategically located between the League and Capellan Confederation, Les Halles has become a waystation and transshipment point for all sorts of cargo shipments. Though the League and SAFE try to keep an eye on the trade, illegal goods and services proliferate on the world. Nearly anything is available for purchase on the black market.[1] The economy of Les Halles is based around the service industries, specifically maintenance for DropShips and small craft. Les Halles also produces spacecraft fuel as its primary heavy industry.

To protect themselves from the weather, the permanent population resides in underground housing. These structures are similar to ancient Roman homes in that they're typically a series of rooms built around an atrium. Whole towns are built the same way, with residential and commercial buildings surrounding a central courtyard equipped with skylights.

On the 17th of April 3073 one of the hybrid Thuggee-Manei Domini Warrior Houses controlled by Kali Liao, Warrior House White Tiger, launched a brutal raid against Les Halles. In response, the Duchy of Oriente launched a series of reprisal raids on the 23rd of May against the Capellan Confederation worlds of Boardwalk, Eom and Jasmine.[9][10][11]
