World Starport

Covenant 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.

Covenant currently has only a Highport, operated by Solomani Naval personel. There is a variable contingent of Covenant Representatives on the highport, who act as a body to resolve disputes on the station.

World Technology Level

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Fiber optics, improved telephones, and satellite communication and data networks.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Improved geothermal and improved batteries.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Advanced automobiles.

  • Air: Improved helicopters and hypersonic jets.
  • Space: Space shuttles, early space stations, and improved interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).

World Government

Covenant is governed by a Representative Democracy where government leadership is representatives elected by eligible voters. What determines an eligible voter varies. The representatives determine policy, including selecting members of the bureaucracy. There can be referendum, votes by eligible voters on specific subjects.

World Law Level

Covenant has no law in practice. It is an Anarchy. On many worlds, this by itself justifies an Amber Zone advisory. 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.

Any laws typically only apply within a tribe or clan. A motivating example: Murder is illegal within most clans...if the victim is a clan member...in good standing. Killing someone else just passing through depends on the clan. In some, it is encouraged. In others, discouraged. In one or two, murdering outsiders wantonly will bring actual legal consequences.

Current Traveller best practice is to acquire some form of clan membership at the Highport before descending; the HighBall tavern is a good place to "negotiate" such new friendships.

World Military

All adults.

World Economy

Clans tend to specialize by resource accessibility. Some have developed their own electronics and computers, and there is a proto-worldnet being constructed between the 3 larger city-states.

Trade Data

Mostly internal. Tourism is not practical at this stage.

Some traders will fill their holds with water to trade on Lagrange.
