 Yes, that wouldn't buy much.  But then,
 with a whole system population
 smaller than
 most towns, one wouldn't expect much unless it was
 particularly important for other reasons.

I've always wondered what makes Rorise in the S'Marches (Mora0602, C994100 A NI G) so special that it somehow could accomplish this;
(CT LBB Supp9 'Fighting Ships', p44-45, Planetoid Monitor) "In 1101, the monitor was declared surplus to the need to of the Mora system and acquired by Rorise/Mora for system defense purposes".
The PX is question is TL15, 50ktons, almost 22MCr new, w/ a crew of 425, & a Factor-J meson gun spinal mount.

How do you even run a starport w/ a POP factor of ONE? (I guess the crew of the PX doesn't count?)
What about 'annual maint'?
