Alphaaric is a low-population, nonindustrial world with a population of less than 10,000 sophonts in size.

• As a nonindustrial world, It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.
• The Lo population code refers to Faarview (see below) rather than the planet itself.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Ariel Subsector of Gateway Sector.

• This is the homeworld of the Faar sophontic species.

Description

An independent system in the Ariel Subsector jointly managed by representatives of the Galian Federation and by the system's own native, nonhuman civilization, the Faar.

The class-A starport designates the human construct known as "Faarview", an orbital colony/station circling Mashan, the system's primary gas giant. This construct is generally considered the mainworld.

The Alphaaric system is a member of the namesake Alphaaric Drift.

Native Lifeform: Faar Sophonts

Alphaaric is inhabited by the Faar, a highly advanced civilization which, for various reasons, nowadays has no interest in developing jump drive or exploring beyond its own world.

• Human studies of the Faar are continuing. There is evidence that in the past they did travel beyond their world, and settled other systems in Gateway.
• In the meantime, a brisk and highly lucrative trade in high-tech electronics, novelties, and recreational devices continues between Galian traders and the Faar Domains.
