The main part of the colony is located at the base of the tether that connects the ground and orbital elements of the space port. With a population of approximately 90,000 living either close to or within a 50 mile radius of the space port. Beside the domed compounds reserved for government and House Beruna use their are a number of others. These belong to the various different merchant houses which maintain permanent facilities on this planet as well as those that belong to a mix of minor nobles from various houses and the survivors of House Faloda. The vast majority of the common people who call this planet home live in scattered dwellings outside of the domes and near the various different refining facilities or in outlying areas near or on large farming facilities. Only a small percentage of the common people own their own homes, farms or small businesses. | |||

This is a fruit that is native to this world and is grown on trees. In size it is about as large as a typical softball but with a thin skin and a greenish golden color when fully ripe. It is considered a luxury item within their economy due to the difficulty in transplanting the trees to other worlds. Transporting of the fruit can be risky due to the possibility of spoilage or damage during moving. | This is a fruit that is native to this world and is grown on trees.

There are 5 or 6 different plants within the Dunaras family that are traditionally used to create various types of hot beverages.

Currently 3 types are grown and harvested on Devron. | There are 5 or 6 different plants within the Dunaras family that are traditionally used to create various types of hot beverages.
