One of the great triumphs of terraforming is the
planet Santo. The planet is picture-perfect, with clear
blue seas, azure skies and ideal weather. Though
it has a thriving agricultural base, Santo was once
known for the tourists who thought it a paradise.
The rich flocked to the planet as an exclusive
vacation spot, and resort communities commanded
every good view to be had.
The war ended Santo’s glorious days as a
destination for the rich and beautiful. Though the
planet escaped destruction, no one from the Core
worlds dared travel here while the fighting was
about. Hotels and casinos were abandoned. Those
that stayed open did so by finding other ways to attract customers. Brothels, strip clubs, and other
ventures catering to less savory appetites opened
up. Santos has become known as a “fun” place, no
matter what pleasures you’re into. After the war,
casino owners found that they could avoid Alliance
restrictions by operating in this out of the way place.
The world became a Mecca for high rollers (and
those who were not so high).
Santo’s resorts are now beginning to recover. No
longer a playground exclusively for the rich, Santos
attracts a more middle-class crowd. Its resorts are
still beautiful, its small towns picturesque, its casinos
open twenty-four seven.
You’ll have a good time here, but you might not
want to bring the kiddies.
