Aberdeen is a smallish Rim planet with a large water content and dramatic granite expanses. Named for its resemblance to Scotland of Earth-that-was, the planet attracted Scottish descended people to colonize it. Scottish dialect and traditions have flourished. Its primary industries include granite mining, water reclamation, fishing, oil and natural gas drilling. There are also numerous shepherds producing wool and mutton and beef and dairy cattle ranching.
Aberdeen's main continent is home to vast forest called Birnam Wood (from MacBeth). Perched on the edge of Birnam Wood on the Firth of is New Dunsmuir, the main starport of Aberdeen. Two rivers the Dee and Don empty into the small bay where New Dunsmuir lies.
- Aberdeen has a Satellite network and a small orbital space station that services larger starships with a small fleet of heavy cargo shuttles. The 'Kyloes' are the size of small cargo vessels but lack pulse drives entirely.
