- Canon: N/A
- Permissions: N/A
- Links: Chaldea
- Spaceport Name: Sky Harbor; aka the Nezamiyeh Starport
- Location: Nezamiyeh, Chaldea
- Affiliation: Chaldean Potentium
- Classification: Stellar Class
- Population: Moderately Staffed
- Accessibility: This is the only major starport on the planet. It is open to the public and quite busy by Chaldean standards.
- Traffic: High
- Description: A very aesthetically pleasing facility located in a valley on the outskirts of the capitol city of Nezamiyeh, the Sky Harbor is a unique starport in terms of design and look, resembling a palace or castle more than your typical port of its kind.
- Landings pads and hangars are divided into West, East, North and South Wings. The West Wing is typically occupied by shipping vessels, while the North Wing is reserved for high profile guests, such as foreign dignitaries or other VIPs, though space can also be rented by wealthy individuals.
- The Sky Harbor includes the headquarters of travel agencies which cater primarily to tourists. Guides, transportation, and accommodations may be arranged here. There is also information available on the planet and its people, intended to prepare travelers for the attitudes and customs of the locals.
- A fully equipped fuel depot and various mechanics/repair shops are on hand to deal with vehicles that are damaged or broken down.
SECURITY
High; being that this is a civilian starport, it is not as secure as a military installation would be, but appropriate safety measures are taken as with any starport in the galaxy. Perhaps the most unusual aspect of security in the Sky Harbor is that it is very well-equipped to deal with troublesome Force Users. These security policies are leftover from the Chaldean Civil War, and the experience Chaldea had during the conflict led to their introduction for the safety of its citizens. Guards wear Force-nullifying and lightsaber-resistant armor and weaponry designed to incapacitate FUs, and universal energy cages are located on the starport's grounds for holding them prisoner until they can be removed from the planet. While they will typically aim to disarm and capture most FUs using stun weaponry and neurotoxins such as senflax, in more severe cases (i.e. if a Sith were to attack the starport or surrounding area) they are trained to fight using slugthrowers, flechette launchers, high-powered blasters, and sonic explosives. Despite all this, tactics will remain the deciding factor in any fight with an FU; it is possible to outwit Sky Harbor security regardless of how many weapons they have.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The Sky Harbor, aka the Nezamiyeh Starport, was built centuries ago by the Chaldean settlers. To date it is owned and operated by the Chaldean Potentium. The facility seen today is a rebuilt version of the original, which was destroyed during the Chaldean Civil War in 851 ABY along with all other major starports on the planet's surface. This rebuilt version follows the same architecture of the original, but with modernized facilities and additional safety measures added to the design. Other projects intended to rebuild the destroyed starports elsewhere on Chaldea were either deemed unnecessary or failed to receive funding, leaving the Sky Harbor as the only major starport on Chaldea. It receives the bulk of all traffic to and from the planet.
