A rich world located in the Regina Subsector of the Spinward Marches. Alell retains its atmosphere and water thanks to a density that is far higher than scientists thought possible for such a small planet. Whatever the reason, the result is a very pleasant world with reasonable gravity, clean air, fertile soil, and warm shallow seas lined by scores of huge vacation resorts.
Alell is a constitutional monarchy under Captain Roger XXII, a direct descendant of the captain of the original colony ship, but the Alell Tourist Authority has a disproportionate amount of influence, and Makhidkarun recently bought a 24% share in the ATA.
In addition to Alell Startown, other major settlements on Alell include Dali, Ekun Town, Imuku, and Agadip.

[edit] Points of Interest
[edit] Barcelona
Starport bar with a slightly carnival feel. Cocktails with imported real fruit are house specialty.
[edit] Camden Lock
Another starport bar. Less camp than Barcelona. Regulars visitors who have already been to Barcelona often prefer it.
[edit] "Med Central"
Highport medical facility (owned and operated by First Medical LIC). This is a general hospital with an extensive xenobiology section. It provides medical and quarantine services to the starport.
[edit] The Colosseum
Large concert hall in the highport with a capacity of over 5000 seats. Great expense was taken to get the acoustics of the hall just right. Behind the stage is a three story safety-filtered viewport which can be shuttered or reveal space. One of the specialties of the Colosseum (and a tourist draw) is a live orchestral performance coinciding with sunrise over Alell with fresh spring scents released into the air at appropriate points. When not in use for public performances the hall is sometimes used as a sound recording stage for some of Naasirka Entertainment's more elaborate productions.
