Icefall

__NOTOC__
Icefall is a planet in the Menkar system. It is controlled by the Syndicate.
== Description ==
Icefall is far from its sun, with an axial tilt of roughly 38 degrees. This means that the climate is cold, the year is also long, and each hemisphere has a short summer - barely enough to fit a terrestrial growing season. Nevertheless, most of the inhabitants are farmers, with the exception of the oil drilling industry at the equator. There are only a few major towns, and no major metropolitan centers. Icefall's oceans are filled with constantly shifting pack ice and icebergs, making them nearly unnavigable.
The most distinctive feature of the local ecology is the vast flocks of gooselike migratory birds, which raise two broods a year: one in each hemisphere's summer. The farm workers migrate in similar fashion, and many landowners have farms in both hemispheres.
== Spaceport ==
The spaceport is located near the equator, in this world's industrial zone. Along the horizon are fields of pumpjacks and oil derricks.
The port consists of rows of hangars, plus two large square towers that house the marketplace and storage space for cargo. A constant howling wind sweeps in between the buildings, but thankfully they are well constructed out of sturdy concrete.
== Shipyard ==
Icefall does not have a shipyard.
== Outfitter ==
Icefall does not have an outfitter.
== Information ==
