Vital Statistics

• Location: Sector Ro
• Major Population: Hinichi, Glaseah, Platies
• Spheres: a combination city-aquasphere

History

The contract for the city-sphere was awarded to a group of Glaseah (as the species with a homeworld in the adjacent sector), but they brought on a large phalanx of Hinichi initially, which informed the culture considerably. They were partway into the planning and initial building when they thought to contact the Platies, and were surprised to discover the Platies wanted a sizable part in the enterprise... which is how the major city-sphere for the starbase became an aquasphere. Starbase Ro contains, to date, the largest body of water in a city-sphere of any starbase.

In this way, the two species with homeworlds closest to Ro (the Glaseah and the Platies) are majority populations on Starbase Ro, with the Hinichi (from the sector adjacent the Platies) sensibly participating.
