NOTAM - Amber Zone (TAS) - Theev system - visitors are advised that there is no government or legal system on Theev. Violence is commonplace in the Lower City of Blacksand and self-protection is essential. Red-Flagged buildings in the Lower City, and the whole of the Upper City is protected by the Widows, who will eliminate anyone deemed to be a troublemaker. Visitors are advised not to leave the highport.
Theev's recent history (after the fall of the Sindalian Empire?) starts with GeDeCo? choosing this system for significant investment as an industrial centre and jump-3 route into the Dustbelt?. Despite the level of investment, the economy never really took off, and Theev slipped back into poverty and obscurity. The planet below is virtually uninhabitable, except for the deep canyon that holds Blacksand City. Blacksand City itself is virtually completely lawless - pretty much anything goes there. Theev has therefore acquired a reputation as being a haven for pirates and criminals. The highport, known as the Skull because of the shape of the geostationary moonlet it occupies, on the other hand is highly law-abiding, policed by the Widows, a force of genetically engineered and cybernetically enhanced assassins.
