Santo

 GEOGRAPHY

One of the greatest triumphs of terraforming is the planet Santo; picture-perfect, with clear blue seas, azure skies and ideal weather. Though it has a thriving agricultural base, Santo was once known for the tourists who thought it a paradise. The rich flocked to the planet as an exclusive vacation spot, and resort communities commanded every good view to be had.

The war ended Santo's glorious days as a destination for the rich and beautiful. Though the planet escaped destruction, no one from the other Core worlds dared travel here while the fighting was about. Hotels and casinos were abandoned. Those that stayed open did so by finding other ways to attract customers. Brothels, strip clubs, and other ventures catering to less savory appetites opened up. Santo has become known as a "fun" place, no matter what pleasures you're in to. After the war, casino owners found that they could avoid Alliance restrictions by operating in this overlooked location. The world became a Mecca for high rollers (and those who were not so high). 

Santo's resorts are now beginning to recover however. No longer a playground exclusively for the rich, Santo attracts a more middle-class crowd. Its resorts are still beautiful, its small towns picturesque, its casinos open twenty-four seven.

You'll have a good time here, but you might not want to bring the kiddies.
