Astrography and planetology

Bolivar has a very attractive and comfortable biosphere, almost ideal for human habitation. Much of the natural beauty of the world is unspoilt, the majority of the population are concentrated in large metropolitan and urban areas. Much of the countryside has restricted access, being owned by private companies, individuals, and the planetary government. Ocean refueling is strictly forbidden.

Bolivar is a binary star system.

• The primary, Tischer, is an orange main sequence.
• The secondary, De Souza, is a red main sequence.

History and Background

As the subsector capital, Bolivar is the center of attention and has all the features of a high-technology, high population world. What makes Bolivar unique is the near total Solomani-originated population in what is a traditionally a Vilani-dominated region.

Most of the Solomani are immigrants from the Iberian-influenced South American continent of Terra (Solomani Rim 1827). The world has a very dynamic socio-political structure, subject to many upheavals during its history -- massive immigration, popular discord, commercial exploration, terrorism, military interventions, government incompetence, and assassinations. Much of that is just history now, thanks to the Bolivar family who have used the promise of equality and justice to bond the disparate social groups, and for the most part have succeeded. In general, Bolivar is today a stable, thriving, and exciting world.

Llelish Interstellar, the leading media corporation within Ilelish Sector, maintains facilities and offices on the world.

World Starport (Sp)

Bolivar 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.

• There are also 42 cities with F-class spaceports.

World Government (G)

Bolivar is governed by an Impersonal Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government is another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy dictates government policy and its execution. Government leadership is reduced to little more than figureheads and does not select the bureaucracy leadership or its members.

Society on Bolivar is traditionally stratified, with a well-defined class system. At the top of the pyramid is an upper class composed of senior management executives, staff officers of the military, and politicians.

Economic

Bolivar is the headquarters for the Camrii-La Paz Pan-American Industrial Consortium and the subsector offices for Zirunkariish.

Trivia

The system is first mentioned in the navigation and scientific logs of a Vilani survey vessel in -5,000. Within a hundred years a small Vilani agrarian colony became established on the world, then known as Siimaakh.
