Walston
Walston supports a population of fewer than 10,000 sophonts. The world has a cold, though still habitable, climate at the lower limits of human comfort. It is a client state of Third Imperium in the District 268 Subsector of Spinward Marches Sector. This world contains a Scout Base, capable of handling Scout Service starships and personnel. 70% of the world's population is the Major Race Vargr.
Walston's starport and the relatively hospitable environment makes it a popular stopover point on the Bowman Arm.
The only inhabited region of the planet is Settlement Island, which includes the capital at Central Lake. Approximately 70% of Walston's population are Vargr who settled after the Fourth Frontier War, but the government is ruled by a human elite and the Vargr are treated as distinctly second-class citizens.
The planet's subsistence-based economy depends largely on aquaculture and more conventional agriculture.
