Follower

__NOTOC__
Follower is a planet in the Alphard system. It is controlled by the Republic.
== Description ==
Follower is on the edge of the Paradise Planets region of space: not really one of them yet, but aspiring to be. It is prosperous, but from manufacturing rather than law or finance or venture capitalism. A significant fraction of the local taxes collected here are being spent on terraforming, raising global temperatures and reducing seasonal fluctuations. The goods produced here always have a ready market to purchase them, so Follower's job economy is considered very stable.
As one of the few planets still actively engaged in terraforming, Follower has been the location of several experiments with new technology, trying to leapfrog the centuries-slow process that other worlds have gone through. Unfortunately most of these experiments have failed, sometimes spectacularly.
== Spaceport ==
The spaceport is a single skyscraper, fifty floors tall and as wide as it is high, with the floors twisting around each other in a helical pattern so that on each level, the landing bays are approached from a slightly different angle. The whole structure is built of steel and gleaming glass. Inside, the soaring ceilings give you more of a sense of opulence than of comfort.
