Borite is an agricultural garden world with a near-ideal, utopian environment conducive to most sophonts.

• As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
• Its economy and population are rapidly growing and living conditions are expected to incrementally rise barring outside forces.
• This is a "low technology" world with technology competencies well below technology standards for Charted Space.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Sindal Subsector of Trojan Reach Sector.

Description (Planetology)

Borite is a yellow-brown planet getting its color from the boron heavy compounds in its surface.

History & Background (Dossier)

The mainworld has been reduced to pre-spaceflight technology levels because of incessant raiding by the clans from nearby Oghma (Trojan Reach 2020).

• On Borite, it is forbidden to write down anything, lest the Oghman Clans decide you are a scholar and steal you away.
• Oghma raiders make a habit of raiding Borite to keep them from advancing and keep them under their control. By stealing away anyone of intellectual capabilities, they gain from their new members of society and Borite remains incapable of development.
• Anyone of consequence or any movements challenging their status quo will be quickly and smartly addressed, though likely to fall short of the planetary bombardment policy of their roots.

Government

This world is ruled by the Borite Continuity Authority, a decaying remnant of the old Drinaxian bureaucracy. The BCA control all trade and travel on and off-world -- not that many people travel here.
