 Administration of the Crossings is handled by a special committee of the [[Rirhait]] planetary government, which appoints a [[Stationmaster]] from one of the Rirhait species best suited for such duties. The Master is directly responsible for all management of scheduling, passenger handling and physical plant.  ([[SYWTBAW]] ''et seq''.)
