- Sleepers is the name given to a drug that suppresses the telepathic abilities of psi-rated humans. Initially developed by Halotech in 2117, it was offered as an alternative to registered or otherwise detected telepaths who didn't want to abandon their everyday lives and join the MRA or face imprisonment, a policy that was continued throughout the existence of the Psi Corps. The drug was also used by the Corps during the Telepath War to help control especially powerful Resistance prisoners. Following the end of the Telepath Crisis, the Earth Alliance reassessed its policy towards its psi-able citizens and took measures to re-integrate them back into "mundane" society, as such the practice of injecting innocent citizens was abolished along with the Psi Corps.
- Spaceport - Still relatively unscathed, the tarmac of this spaceport, as well as everything else, is obviously new. The spaceport appears to be able to accomodate anything from a shuttle to a cruise liner. Several vehicles are here, with one or more nearly always taxiing, landing, or undocking. Dozens of personnel scurry about, guiding ships and helping passengers with anything from baggage to customs. The roar of engines is one of the only consistant things about the pad. Several tracks lead away, towards Deserata's various attractions, and the Grand Hotel is nearby, enabling passengers to check in and rest before enjoying the planet's other attractions.
