Mainworld Data

Mainworld Size (S)

Kuegh Dan is a Meso World between 12,000km and 13,500km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.8G and 1.1G. The horizon will appear about 5.1km away. Vessels with 1G of thrust should check with local starport authorities before attempting to land using emergency power.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Kuegh Dan has a Corrosive Atmosphere and possesses a concentrated gas mix or unusual temperature which requires the use of a Hostile Environment Suit or Vacc Suit. TL–9 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Kuegh Dan has no free-standing fluids on the surface. What little surface fluid exists consists of exotic substances that are corrosive and highly toxic. Wilderness refueling isn't possible on this world. Water for the inhabitants needs to be imported and extensively recycled. These worlds are Hell Worlds.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

No centrally held map of the world exists within AAB Library Data records.

History & Background (Dossier)

Kuegh Dan is a former member world of the Contract of Taarskoerzn, an isolationist Religious Dictatorship founded in the early 100s by a sect of Taarskoe-worshippers fleeing Lair. It was absorbed by the Irrgh Manifest in a war of conquest in the early 400s. It broke away from the Manifest in the mid 800s, joining the newly formed Glory of Taarskoerzn, but was recaptured during the Glory's short war of independence. The terms of the armistice left it under Manifest control.

World Starport (St)

Kuegh Dan 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.

• The world is host to a Vargr Corsair Base.

World Population (P)

Kuegh Dan has a population of 1,000 sophonts (thousands).

• This is a Low Population World and the population would be too low to sustain itself without a little outside assistance. This may represent the home base of a sizable but mostly transient population such as the base of a major starship expedition, the last generation of a dying colony, the first generation of a new colony, or a large outpost that will probably evolve into a colony if not stopped.
• The population entirely consists of Vargr.

Faith and Belief

Most of the population follow the Church of the Chosen Ones. Formerly, until around 900, the world had almost exclusively followed Taarskoism, worship of the ancient Vargr god Taarskoe.

• The regional sect of the Church has declared Taarskoe to be a prophet of the faith and formally recognized his teachings, and in so doing has brought many followers of Taarskoism into its fold.
• Many of the faithful carry a short, unadorned sword.
• Some groups reject the Church of the Chosen Ones, continuing to follow pure Taarskoism.

World Technology Level (T)

Kuegh Dan possesses a Technology Level of TL–10 or TL-A in Hexadecimal Notation.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Holovision, Personal Global Communications, and advanced Translators.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Increasingly advanced fusion plants and advanced fuel cells.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land & Water: Grav belts and maturing gravcraft.
  • Air: Greatly improved hybrid grav-aircraft.
  • Space: Improved interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
  • FTL: Jump Drive-1.

World Government (G)

Kuegh Dan is governed by Self-Perpetuating Oligarchy. A single family or small group provides the leadership and important positions in the government. These positions are inherited by member of the group or their family members. The organization may be a monarchy, with titles passed to family members, or a plutocracy where inheritance of the family fortune includes government position. Alternatively, the organization may be a more typical government apparatus, only with positions of power inherited.

World Law (L)

Kuegh Dan 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.
