Aran (Gu 2917) is a poor, moderate population pre-industrial hellworld, with over a hundred million, but not yet a billion sophonts struggling to survive in an inhospitable environment.
- Hellworlds often offer daily, and sometimes even hourly, life-threatening situations to their inhabitants. Survivors often form intense survival skills and tend to be grim realists.
- This world would like to become a major industrial powerhouse in the subsector, but lacks the population and resources to build an adequate workforce and industrial business sector.
- It is a member of the Lancian Cultural Region, a sub-polity of the Third Imperium, located in the Isi Ahto Subsector of Gushemege Sector.
- This is a "low technology" world with technology competencies well below technology standards for Charted Space.
- This a "forbidden" world designated as a Red Zone with an environment, laws, customs, life forms, or other conditions that make it extremely dangerous to visitors. Everyone is forbidden to travel here.
- Aran is located on the Vilani Main.
Description (Astrography & Planetology)
Aran has a solitary primary star.
- It is a turbulent orange subgiant.

System Data
The worlds of the system have been surveyed. They consist of:
- The mainworld.
- x9 secondary rocky worlds.
- x2 gas giants.
Mainworld Data
Mainworld Size (S)
Aran 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)
Aran has a pressure of 0.43 to 0.70 atmospheres. While the thin atmosphere does not require survival gear this atmosphere also contains an unusual taint such as such as disease, a hazardous gas mix, pollutants, or sulfur compounds which requires the use of a Filter Mask. Some taints may require more protective equipment. TL–3 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.
Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)
Aran has 15-25% of its surface covered by liquid water or ice. There may be a few small seas. Wilderness refueling is possible. Water for the inhabitants needs to be imported and extensively recycled. These worlds are Hell Worlds or Poor Worlds depending on their atmosphere.
Mainworld Geography and Topography
No centrally held map of the world exists within AAB Library Data records.
(Blank map, predominantly dry world.)
History & Background (Dossier)
Aran is a Forbidden World and is designated as a Red Zone. It presents serious risks and dangers due to the environment or native life forms, laws or customs, or other conditions that make it extremely dangerous to visitors.
- Travel to this world is prohibited.
World Starport (St)
Aran does not have a starport. The Class X Starport is an indication that no starport exists in the system. There are no facilities or services available, and no site marked for landing.
World Population (P)
Aran has a population of 500,000,000 sophonts (hundreds of millions).
World Languages
The following languages are most commonly heard:
World Technology Level (T)
Aran possesses a Technology Level of TL–5.
- Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Telephone, radio, and television.
- Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Electricity, hydrocarbon internal combustion, and the most fundamental atomic energy.
- Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
- Land: Ground cars or automobiles and tracked vehicles.
- Water: Large ships and submersibles with steel hulls.
- Air: Early aircraft including seaplanes and very early unmanned rockets.
World Government (G)
Aran 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 (L)
Aran 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).
Trade Data
- Importance: -2 (very unimportant)
World Economy
- Resources: A (abundant)
- Labor: 7 (tens of millions)
- Infrastructure: 5 (limited)
- Efficiency: +1 (average)
World Culture
- Heterogenity: A (discordant)
- Acceptance: 6 (aloof)
- Strangeness: 7 (confusing)
- Symbols: 7 (somewhat concrete)
World Timeline
Major events that have affected this world and the wider region that it lies within:
- circa -250,000: the Ancients transplant humans onto the world of Kukhun.
- -9235: the Vilani discover jump drive technology, and over the centuries pioneers and settlers gradually spread across Charted Space. The Kukhunen culture acquires jump technology from these wanderers.
- circa -5400: the Vilani Consolidation Wars - the Kukhunen region is eventually conquered.
- -4045 to -2204: the Ziru Sirka claims and settles worlds across the region.
- -2404 to -2215: the Interstellar Wars.
- -2204 to -1776: the Rule of Man administers the worlds of the region.
- -1776 to 0: the Long Night. There is widespread regression within the area and some worlds become barren.
- circa -1700: the reemergent Kukhunen region gradually collapses into civil war.
- -1200: the Lancian movement rises to dominance on Kukhun and within Kukhunen space. Few ships are available throughout the period but limited contact is maintained.
- -143: the Lancians gain modern jump technology from Sylean traders and use it to establish the Lancian Confederation.
- The Year 0: the Third Imperium is founded. There are frictions with the Lancians.
- 76-84: the Vilani Pacification Campaign results in the absorbtion of the Confederation.
- 300-420: the Imperial First Survey charts the system.
- 604-622: the Civil War.
- 624: the Express Boat Network is established.
- 639: the Lancian Cultural Region is established.
- 995-1065: the Imperial Second Survey charts the system.
- 1065: the Second Survey is published. Information about the system becomes widely available.
