Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Dudin has an Insidious Atmosphere which requires the use of a Hostile Environment Suit or Vacc Suit, but extreme conditions cause the corrosive effects to defeat any personal protective measures in a few hours. TL–10 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Dudin has 95-100% of its surface covered by liquid water with only a few islands and archipelagos. Wilderness refueling is possible. Such worlds are Water Worlds or Ocean Worlds.

History and background

Dudin is one of the major population centers of the Amec Trade Protectorate. The entire planet is encircled by a chain of space stations linked together by solar generator, tunnels, and mono-filament. The planetary rulers live in this orbital habitat. On the planet, most live beneath the shallow seas in crowed manufacturing enclaves spread over the ocean bead. The majority of the population are Ntu tribesman.

Starting in 1110 and over the next five years in excess of five thousand individuals suddenly and mysteriously combusted for no known reason. Even outsiders have been subjected to the phenomenon, which seems to favor young males. The current theory favors the cause to be self-induced through an untraceable drug. The Nauhyotl (planetary governor) has promised all efforts will be made to resolve this strange and disturbing event.

World Starport (Sp)

Dudin 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 Population (P)

Dudin has a population of 9,000,000,000 sophonts (billions).

• High Population Worlds like this tend to have huge consumer markets.

There are two broad categories of citizen within the Amec Trade Protectorate:

• The Sun-born, which consists of the nobility, their families, courtesans, and Cuaupilli (those who have successfully undertaken the adolescent Test of Worth).
• The Amtlan, which includes the Maceualli ("tribute" or protected ones) who toil on behalf of their lord, and the Pochteca or independent merchants.

• Nahuatl

World Government (G)

Dudin is governed by a Charismatic Oligarchy, like a charismatic dictatorship in that a larger group has asserted their right to rule. The group will have better rules of succession and may last longer or may transition to a non-charismatic dictatorship.

World Law (L)

Dudin 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. Most worlds with this law level may be an Amber Zone or Red 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. There is no difference between the police and the military. This world is a full-fledged police state. Oppression is legalized, though not routine.

World Economy

Each planet within the Amec Protectorate must pay the Tlatoani a tribute (originally it was a proper tithe of 10% of overall production but over the years it increased to 12%).

• The local bureaucracy retains 6% while the other 6% is sold under the AzTec label to help maintain the court and pay for the Amec Navy.
