Coyn System: Elrood Sector
Coyn ("land of conflict and blood") is a relatively flat, temperate planet covered with large tracts of woodland. Coyn has regular seasons, including a hot summer and a moist and cool winter. The poles are cold, with moderate ice caps. The equatorial regions are warm and humid.
Coyn is ruled by a militaristic sovereignty. The absolute ruler is the En'Tra ("King-Master"), who in turn, parcels out land to various noble families, called En'Tra'Ag'Tra ("King-Master's highest-servants"). Most of the nobility comes from families with a lasting martial tradition - the Coynites are a species of warriors and thus respect and follow those who prove themselves formidable warriors. This system has lasted for thousands of years. The capital is in the city of En'Tra'Tal, or "King-City. "
Coyn system, star: Coynek, orange star.
Five planets in system-second planet, Coyn, is inhabited. Coyn is a major trade crossroads system in Elrood Sector.
The world bustles with trade, as it is the first world that most ships visit upon entering Elrood Sector. However, the rather brutal warrior culture makes the world a dangerous place - even experienced spacers are normally very careful when dealing with the Coynites and their unique perceptions of justice.
Coyn is the crossroads of the E-D Run and the Coyn Route, the route leading to Tantra and then connecting to other major trade routes in the galaxy along the Rimma Trade Route. Since the occupation of Derilyn, the Coyn Route has become the major passageway to other sections of the galaxy, and thus Coyn is called the "Gateway to Elrood Sector" and sometimes referred to as simply 'The Gate'.
Coyn's starports, both orbiting and planetary, are popular stop offs for fueling and supplies prior to leaving the sector. Ships coming into the sector often stop here because ofthe many cargo storage facilities. Often, galactic freighters simply dump their cargoes here. Then, regional cargo lines pick up the cargo and deliver it to the other worlds along the E-D Run. Of course, there is much more than trade going through Coyn. Elrood's backwater status is an invitation to those who want to disappear for a while. Accordingly, bounty hunters, rebels, criminals, and other scum frequent Coyn, as well.
Violence is a major problem in the spaceports, due largely to the Coynites' system of 'law'.
To handle the great volume of traffic passing through the system, Coyn has five stellar class starports. The prime starport is Skraj'Tais, "Skyland." It is an orbiting space station capable of hosting hundreds of ships at a time. It is similar in design to Kwenn Space Station and is the major starport for those who have no business on Coyn itself. The other four stellar class starports are on the surface of the planet. They are En'Tra'Tais ("Kingland"), Im'Tra'Tais ("Princeland"), Ah'Kra'Tais ("Common-craftersland"), and Kroyn'Tais, ("Warriorland"). There is also a one standard class starport, Kra'Tais("Craftersland'), which is a common destination for those purchasing goods from Coyn. Each of these starports is within major cities: En'Tra'Tal, Im'Tra'Tal, Ah'Kra, Kroyn'Tal and Kra. There are two heavily modified 'Prosperity-Class' starships, at each roughly equiv. to a Light Cruiser.
