Wilderness has a thin, tainted atmosphere and a complete lack of surface water, making it poorly suited to sophont habitation. The system has a population of tens of millions of sophonts. Government control of this world is by an external military force. It is a member of Third Imperium in the Remnants Subsector of Dagudashaag Sector and in the Domain of Vland.

Mainworld Data

World Starport (Sp)

Wilderness has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which includes amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

World Size (S)

Wilderness is a Small World between 4,000km and 5,600km in diameter. The world has low gravity between 0.24G and 0.34G. The horizon will appear about 3km away.

World Atmosphere (A)

Wilderness has a pressure of 0.43 to 0.70 atmospheres. While the thin atmosphere does not require survival gear this atmosphere also contains an unusual taint such as such as disease, a hazardous gas mix, pollutants, or sulfur compounds which requires the use of a Filter Mask. Some taints may require more protective equipment. TL–3 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

World Hydrosphere (H)

Wilderness has no free-standing water or ice on the surface. Wilderness refueling isn't possible on this world. Water for the inhabitants needs to be imported and extensively recycled. These worlds are classified Desert World or a Hell World depending on their atmosphere.

World Population (P)

Wilderness has a population of 1,000,000 sophonts (millions).

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

World Government (G)

Wilderness is governed by a Feudal Technocracy. Society divides itself based on the technical requirements of the society. Each of these functions are granted as a fief to an individual or group. Leadership of these fiefs determines the head of the government.

World Law Level (L)

Wilderness has a moderate level with laws covering many areas of government and interaction. These laws are simple enough that most people can act as their own advocate, though for serious issues a professional is recommended. Law enforcement officials will be present, but not in great numbers. Personal concealable firearms, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Fiber optics and satellite communication and data networks.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early fusion power.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Ultra high-speed trains and early grav vehicles.
  • Water: High efficiency sailcraft, multihulled seacraft, improved artificial gills.
  • Air: Tiltrotorcraft, exotic VTOL's, PARWIG, and rocket-assisted suborbitals.
  • Space: SSTO spacecraft, early military spacecraft (System Craft), and interstellar STL starships
  • FTL: Prototype Jump Drive-1.

Native Lifeforms

Klesh, a large seasonal vegetable with a deep root for drawing water from deep below the permafrost which serves as the basic food source and trade good on the planet.

History & Background (Dossier)

Classed as a poor world, Wilderness simply chooses not to trade off-planet. The Wilders (as the locals are known) are not xenophobic, but very open and friendly to all off-worlders.

Local trade is carried out in millies and liters of water. Every person carries a waterskin or jug for holding their wealth. Off-worlders are informed that they should not import water of any quantity. And the Wilders largely assume off-worlders will also conduct trade with water, and not credits.

Historical Data

Colonized in 800, by a variety of Antarian travellers. These sophonts (Human, Vargr, and Hhkar) soon learned how to survive on Wilderness. In 956 the colony applied, successfully, to be a part of the Ziadd Confederation. The "Military Rule" classification exists because the planet is still subordinate to the Naval attache office, and will remain until the official handover in 1130. This is a matter of jurisdiction, and the Wilders are left to rule themselves.

The society is divided into the traders, who ride land schooners (maglev wind driven ships) moving over open plains. The Meccas are the cities, enclosed and walled cites established on the farming belt of the planet. The cities grew from the trade of Klesh, a large seasonal vegetable with a deep root for drawing water from deep below the permafrost.
