propper
meaning the planet and not the sector (which is named for it's capitol world)
6'2 is slightly above average if that's what you're going for.
All land on Amber is covered in city--it is slightly less dense version of Courasount (sp?) (Notably, the planet's algae covered oceans, the planet's namsake, still remain. Amber has a much lower population than Courasount and a much, much lower population than a 40k hive world. This is because the Coalition requires that all planets be able to survive cut of from
anywhere for at least ten years (assuming rationing of suplies is in effect)as a precaution against seige. Some of their enemies aren't as cautious. Amber combined with it's space platforms that fall within the planet's shield are capable of surviving indefinitely as long as they have a sufficient supply of energy. An incedental benifit of this requirement is that the planet has enough space, and with the help of the oceans' copius ammounts of algae, is capable of providing enough oxygen without atmospher convcerters. (Most Coalition's non-high-industrial worlds aren't very polluted save for carbon dioxide produced by large populations because fusion suplemented by extensive and highly efficient solar arrays provides all of the electricity Air scrubbers remove much of the industrial debris).
Amber is a surprisingly wealthy world now, that it has become an administrative world, but before the planet grew into a major hub, it's only notable feature was it's location. It had little mineral wealth or natural beauty to set it appart from anywhere else. As trade began to flow their way, however the planet rapidly grew, peacefully annexing other nearby systems and sponsoring the colonisation of others until it became a true sector government, representing thirty-four systems. Now Amber is the business, trade, and high-tech industry capitol of several sectors, and also the site of many prosperous orbital shipyards and more than a thousand space elevators to acomidate the space trafic.
Like all planets, Amber also has no shortage of unpleasentness, especially in the lower and more isolated areas of the planet. Feudal gangs--with hundreds or thousands of smaller gangs swearing fealty to bigger or tougher organizations--fight for control of huge areas territory nobody else dares to tread. Still, in relative terms, Amber's gangs are a small fraction of it's population, and occupy a small portion of it's area . The crime rate is low by Terran standards; comparable to that of a large 21st century city--it just represents population more than a hundred thousand times larger.
