Gidekis is a rich, nonindustrial water world, which has 90% or more of its surface covered in an ocean of water.

  • The inhabitants of this world live on the roughly 10% of exposed land mass, in underwater colonies, on city ships, or similar arrangements.
  • It has high-grade living conditions and life on this world is much admired by off-worlders.
  • This is a rich world with a prosperous and thriving world economy.
  • As a nonindustrial world, it requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.
  • It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Ch'naar Subsector of Core Sector in the Domain of Sylea.
  • This world has a nearby Imperial Naval Base, capable of handling warships.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Government[edit]

Gidekisian government is based on a high degree of specialisation. Each of its widespread oceanic provinces focuses on a unique industry.

Urbanization[edit]

The largest ‘continent’ in the Gide (the word used for the planet’s worldwide ocean) is Lemuria, which consists of a series of cities built on seamounts and floating grav platforms.
