Glenaura is an agricultural, nonindustrial world still lacking adequate means to expand its economy.

  • This is a temperate world, with a climate of pleasant, average temperatures, considered to be an ideal or near-ideal environment by many different sophont species.
  • This world is also the overall capital of an interstellar government with the massive extra trade and prestige associated with that role.
  • This world-system has a Military Base, usually associated with military ground forces, which may be located on or off-world.
  • It is part of the Rom's Rosette star cluster.

Native Lifeforms[edit]

Abundant native life occupying every available ecological niche. Its metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Comp-Prog-Dav-R-Deitrick-Starter-Trav-Page-16 16-July-2018a.jpg

The star causes interference, strange tones and noises, and heavy static on commo and sensors.

Glenaura has authority over a region of Odreitsvoz. The multinational makeup of the occupying forces on that world prevent the Izrats Kriezhlas Unity from liberating the planet, since such an invasion would effectively be declaring war on most of the Glenauran Signatorate.

The system is part of a cluster of stars known as Rom's Rosette.

World Starport (St)[edit]

Glenaura has a Class B Starport, a good quality installation which includes all the expected amenities including refined fuel for starships, brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing annual maintenance, overhauls and most kinds of repair, and construction of non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

World Population (P)[edit]

Glenaura has a population of 700,000 sophonts (hundreds of thousands).

  • This is a Nonindustrial World, too small to support the complete chain of production of most goods from start to finish.

World Technology Level (T)[edit]

Glenaura possesses a Technology Level of TL–11 or TL-B in Hexadecimal Notation.

World Government (G)[edit]

Glenaura has no central government for the world, an Anarchy. The largest governmental structure would be a family, tribe, or single clan. The largest group will be between 50 and 100 individuals, and there may be dozens to hundreds of them. This governmental structure can be stable over long periods of time if the population remains small or geographically separated.

Some families have, over generations, specialised in providing certain services, and continue to do so. This is a little chaotic at times, but the natives prefer working within a family-based capitalist system.

World Law (L)[edit]

Glenaura has a low law level. There are few laws, covering only important areas. There may be few or no law enforcement officers, the expectation is citizens will bring law breakers to the attention of the Judicial system. Legal proceedings will be fast, with few people involved. For interactions outside of the framework of the laws, cultural norms dominate. Machine guns, other automatic weapons, portable energy weapons, and other military weapons, body pistols, explosives, and poison gas are typically regulated or prohibited.

World Culture[edit]

The world lies within the Zhodani Shadow, a region strongly influenced by the society and culture of the Zhodani Consulate.
