Tree'chuakh has a short-sleeve breathable atmosphere. The system has a population between ten million and 100 million sophonts. This is a high technology world with available technology over the standards for Charted Space.  This planet is tidally-locked to its primary star with a hot region facing the the primary, a cold region on the other side, and a habitable area in the twilight zone between. It is a member of Third Imperium in the Mimu Subsector of Dagudashaag Sector and in the Lancian Cultural Region and the Domain of Vland. Tree'chuakh, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estate of an Imperial knight and the fiefdom of a baron. Both are members of the Imperial Nobility charged with overseeing the world. This world has a nearby Imperial Naval Base, capable of handling warships. During the Long Night this world was named Guugi Ir.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

Tree'chuakh is located on the Vilani Main. The naval base hosts elements of the 5th Fleet.

Point of Interest The Star Si’is A

The star Si'is A is a subject of continuing study, as it is at least fifty times more luminous than conventional astrophysical theories would predict. The best explanation is that a naturally-occurring miniature black hole has become lodged in the centre of the star, causing its core to contract. Probes are regularly launched into the star’s outer envelope.

Native Lifeforms

The world's 'twilight zone' is home to a wide range of highly active native flora and fauna (described by human explorers as a ‘seething mass of teeth and tendrils’), and only the bravest (or most foolhardy) venture into the Tree’chuakh wilds ill prepared.

The S'mrii colonists treated Tree'chuakh's threats with characteristic disdain, meeting claws and fangs with fusion fire. Six 'arcology zones' have been cleared, equally spaced along the terminator, and drawing energy from the world's core, now glow so brightly with UV-rich light that this 'world-necklace' is a spectacle to rival the primary stars for starships arriving in system. The native fauna have been proved to be an important source of pharmaceuticals (a fact which certainly saved them from annihilation), and S'mrii corporations often hire Human collectors to obtain specimens in conditions where even their most advanced robots have failed.

History & Background (Dossier)

Tree'chuakh (a broad translation would be 'Pitchdark'), a tidally-locked world circling a close pair of dim red stars, is a major S'mrii colony, and member of the original Alliance of Worlds. The world's primary stars, Si'is A and B, emit primarily in the deep red and near infra-red, and the S'mrii are effectively blind in Tree'chuakh's environment.

World Starport

Tree'chuakh has a Class B Starport, a good 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 most kinds of repair, and construction of non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

World Technology Level

Tree'chuakh possesses a Technology Level of TL–12 or TL-C in Hexadecimal Notation.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Holovision, Personal Global Communications, and advanced Translators.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Increasingly advanced fusion plants and advanced fuel cells.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land, Water & Air: Personal G-Tubes and advanced gravcraft.
  • Space: Advanced interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
  • FTL: Jump Drive-3.

World Government

Tree'chuakh 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.

Population

80,000,000 S'mrii.

World Culture

S'mrii society is highly stratified and formed from large socioeconomic groups known as phyla. Each phylum has an overall rank in S'mrii society, which is widely described as pyramidal. Phyla vary widely in size, having anywhere between 6,000 and 15 million members.

• The basic social unit within a phylum is the Ka'usui (or "family") consisting of a pair of S'mrii, their children, and attendant Kiakh'iee. Three or four ka'usui make up an Sk*khua ("circle") which is often equated to the Human extended family.
• Loyalty to the phylum governing council is heavily emphasized as part of a S'mrii education.
