Mainworld Size (S)[edit]

This world is a Meso World between 7,200km and 8,800km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.4G and 0.57G. The horizon will appear about 4km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)[edit]

This world has a pressure of 0.71 to 1.49 atmospheres. A Standard Atmosphere does not require survival gear and will likely be easy for most sophonts to breathe.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)[edit]

This world has 85-95% of its surface covered by liquid water with a few small continents, and a number of islands and archipelagos. Dry land is limited. Wilderness refueling is possible.

Native Lifeforms[edit]

The breathable atmosphere and abundant water on Hadj led to the independent evolution of native lifeforms.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Hadj is a rich non-aligned world located in Galloway Subsector of Alpha Crucis Sector.

World Starport (Sp)[edit]

This world 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 Population (P)[edit]

This world has a population of 10,000,000 sophonts (tens of millions).

World Government[edit]

This world has a Balkanized Government. There is no central world government. The world has several governments competing for control of the world. These may be allies, cooperating, competitors, or at war with each other.

There are two major rival nations that maintain hegemony over the other smaller nations on the planet, the Federation of Osmani and the Solomani Islamic Republic.

The Federation of Osmani is an Impersonal Bureaucracy while the Solomani Islamic Republic is a Charismatic Dictatorship.

World Law Level (L)[edit]

This world has an extreme law level which covers every area of interaction. Laws are complex, detailed, and difficult to understand. Every interaction with the government requires an Advocate. Law enforcement is omnipresent and strict. Legal proceeding can take months to years to resolve and may involve dozens of people. A few worlds with this law level may be a Red Zone and others will be an Amber Zone. All objects specifically manufactured as weapons are typically regulated or prohibited (with no exception for private residences; visiting starships are only protected so long as they stay within designated starports and approach corridors). Civilian movement is rigidly controlled. Travel documents are frequently checked, and destinations must often be declared when traveling substantial distances across the world.

World Technology Level (TL)[edit]

This world possesses a Technology Level of TL–7.

  • Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Early video and early satellite communication networks.
  • Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early fuel cells, solar energy, and geothermal power sources.
  • Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
    • Land: Improved automobiles, hovercraft, and bullet trains.
    • Water: Hydrofoils and early triphibians.
    • Air: Hang gliders and supersonic jets.
    • Space: Deep space probes and interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).

World Military[edit]

The balkanized governments of Hadj maintain standing militaries in order to maintain their competing claims of national sovereignty. These "Middle Technology Epoch" militaries are equipped with weapons capable of modern combat, such as super sonic jets and large warships, but they lack the interplanetary military capabilities that could be utilized to defend against interstellar threats.

World Economy[edit]

No information yet available.

World Demographics[edit]

Hadj is almost entirely populated by descendants of immigrants from Terra's Europe and Asia-Pacific regions. There the population is almost entirely of pure Solomani stock.

World Culture[edit]

Hadj was founded by Islamic settlers and their influence on current Hadj culture remains. The vast majority of the planet's population are faithful to the old Terra religion of Islam. Haji men are noted for their well maintained facial hair and the women are noted for their highly decorative headscarves.

Historical Data[edit]

Hadj was colonized by Islamic settlers early in the Rule of Man. Over the Long Night its society gradually collapsed to TL–3 levels and splintered into feuding nation-states. The world was contacted by traders from the Solomani Inter-Faith Development Partnership of Alpha Crucis (SIPAC) in 502 and has slowly climbed back to a TL–7 pre-stellar civilization. Today its major nations are the rival Federation of Osmani and the Solomani Islamic Republic.
