Calda

__NOTOC__
Calda is a planet in the Tejat system. It is controlled by the Republic.
== Description ==
Calda is a tropical resort world, a pleasant place to unwind after a few days skiing on its sister planet, Vail. The most popular tourist destination is the hot springs, and the spa complexes that have been built up around them. Constant pesticide use has nearly eliminated insect pests. Because of the uncomfortably warm and humid summer months, the very rich view Calda more as a tourist destination than as a place to live.
In Calda's early days as a spa planet, a nearly silent eruption of carbon dioxide filled a resort valley and suffocated the whole population. This incident shocked the Paradise Worlds and led to a very large drop in tourism here. Fortunately for Calda's economy, this effect ceased within six months, which was about how long it took for most potential tourists to forget about the incident.
== Spaceport ==
This is one of the few planets in this sector whose spaceport does not include private hangars, or at least gangway tunnels connecting to ships that land. The reason, of course, is so that visitors can experience the warm and pleasant air the moment they disembark. There is, however, a network of canvas-covered awnings branching out from the main buildings, offering shade and protection from the weather.
Inside, the counters for hotel shuttles and rental vehicles (including hovercraft and helicopters) are far more prominent than the amenities that would interest a merchant captain.
