History and Background[edit]
Coreward terminus of Saeghvung–Turley–Exile Run.
Saeghvung - then called Black Pearl - was one of the Glorious Twelve, the term given to the twelve human systems that stood against the Vargr Pillaging.
A beautiful world largely inhabited by impoverished and feral Vargr cultures, Saeghvung is civilized only in scattered TL-6 townships and the startown (and 'planetary capital') of Tzashgrouroerd. Tzashgrouroerd herself is only a hundred years old: all of the other towns are no older than four decades. The towns are supported by Vargr 'racial uplift' groups, who are attempting to kick–start the development of Saeghvung, to match the human worlds of Sahale (Empty Quarter 2227) and Turley (Empty Quarter 2523).
World Starport[edit]
Saeghvung has a Class D Starport, a poor quality installation which has few of the expected amenities. There is unrefined fuel for starships and a limited variety of ship provisions. There is no shipyard of any kind, but there may be parts and technical support for doing minor services and repair. Ports of this classification generally consist of only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.
World Technology Level[edit]
Saeghvung possesses a Technology Level of TL–6.
- Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Telephone, radio, and television.
- Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early fission power generation, advanced water and wind generation of electricity.
- Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
- Land: Improved automobiles, early ATV's, and dedicated AFV's.
- Water: Amphibious vehicles, improved submersibles, and early SCUBA gear.
- Air: Early jet aircraft and rotorcraft VTOL's.
- Space: Early unmanned rocket delivery systems and early manned orbital rockets.
World Government[edit]
Saeghvung is governed by a Participatory Democracy where eligible voters determine laws and policy. What determines an eligible voter varies. There may be smaller councils or regional bodies to write the policies voted on. Leadership of the government and all members of the bureaucracy are determined by voting population.
Pirate risk[edit]
As the end–point of the Saeghvung–Turley–Exile Run, aligned with neither the Imperium nor the Julian Protectorate, and without any local system security force, the Vargr–dominated Saeghvung system is simply crawling with pirates. The Protectorate's Star Legion has permanently stationed a small flotilla here, shepherding incoming traffic and racing to save misjumped starships before they are ripped apart by hungry raiders.
Also to be found here is a hard–bitten resident agent of Duke Yogesh, with up–to–date information on Cotan and Nisaga subsectors. He is sure to clear up rumors of vast pirates roaming the Lorean Hegemony: "Pirates? Ha For every pirate, there are five Star Legion ships looking to give him a bad day." However, he does have some good advice on how to deal with the few pirates in the region: "Never let them board your ship." Fortunately, the pirates here tend to be low–tech (TL-9, and a few TL-10s), and operate in ones or twos. Unfortunately, there are a ton of pirates in the gap between the Republic and the Hegemony…
