Mainworld Data[edit]

Furness is a small-standard sized world with a standard atmosphere and a world ocean. Gravity is 0.6g, which makes it quite comfortable for short stays.

Mainworld Geography & Topography[edit]

There are 4 separate continents on Furness: Artica in the northern polar region, Kalta in the southern polar region, Myrtle straddles the equator, and Pocono lies slightly north of the equator but opposite Myrtle.

Myrtle is the smallest, with a large cluster of large mountains in the central region. The northernmost mountains are actively volcanic, and the picturesque beaches in that realm are made of black sands. The highest mountain peaks are over 12000m here. The surf here has extremely large waves.

Pocono is the largest continent, and differs from Myrtle in that it has 3 separate mountain ranges, with individual river valley systems.

The polar continents are largely covered by icecaps, but the coastal region extends around the entirety of each continent.

World Starport[edit]

Furness has a Class A Starport, an excellent quality installation which includes all the expected amenities including refined fuel for starships, brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing annual maintenance, overhauls and other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

Furness Highport is a well-equipped station and customs hub. All travellers are expected to stop here first upon entering the system.

Furness has 3 downports: Myrtleport, Pocoport, and Northport. All are located near a large T-13 urban center with modern public transports.

World Government[edit]

Furness is governed by a Charismatic Dictatorship. Charismatic governments justify their ability to rule by simply asserting their right to rule. Charismatic dictatorships are young governments, coming as a recent change and rely on the leader(s) to supply head of government.

World Law Level[edit]

Furness has a moderate law 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. All firearms, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.

World Military[edit]
