      population 5, 40 of population 4, 503 of population 3 and lots of
      population 2; all with Irish names; the largest cities are all
      situated near the poles of Caladbolg and are large enough that,
      given Caladbolg's small size, the buildings on one side of the
      city stand at a noticeably different angle to those on the other
      side (though each is still locally vertical)]

      the X-Boats and their tenders operate), Throne Station (owned and

      venture between the two nations of Caladbolg) and Mabinogion station
      (owned and run by the Republic of Tara)]

      skyscrapers tend to be streamlined and possess stabilising strakes);
      land masses are named after Irish counties and other locations]

Because of its position at the edge of the Imperium, and as a vital link
to the detached portion of the Imperium in the Five Sisters sub-sector, 
the Scout base at Caladbolg is defended by a deep-site factor-N meson 
gun facility in addition to the other defences of Caladbolg, laser 
batteries, emplaced missile bays and the like, which are largely built 
at the local tech level. The planetary defences are run by a factor-9 
computer, and there are large numbers of concealed and obvious sensor 
sites dotted about the planet.
