Bular is a poor, non-agricultural and nonindustrial hellworld with a population 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.
- It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.
- It is unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
- It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Farin Subsector of Halcyon Sector.

System Data
Bastra-Bular System
The primary is Bastra, an ordinary red main sequence star. It has a luminosity of 0.034 Sols, a mass of 0.457 Sols and a diameter of 711,000 km. (I) Bular orbits within the habitable zone and is designated the mainworld. (II) an exotic atmosphere bigworld, (III) a trace atmosphere iceworld, (IV) a small gas giant, (V) a large gas giant, (VI) a dense icy planetoid belt, (VII) a ringed large gas giant, (VIII) a ringed small ice giant, and (IX) a vacuum iceworld form the outer system. Many of the worlds retain satellites.
Mainworld Data
(I) Bular
(I) Bular is designated the mainworld. It orbits Bastra at a mean distance of 0.19 AU (28.4 million km), within the habitable zone. It has an orbital period of 44 days 18 hours: it is tidally locked to the star. The axial tilt is 5 degrees. Bular has a diameter 7,793 km, a density of 4.98 g/cm³, and a surface gravity of 0.41 G. The world is flexed by tidal forces and is geologically active. Its atmosphere is rated as Very Thin, Tainted, with a mean surface pressure of 0.39 bar and a composition of 87% nitrogen (N2), 12% oxygen (O2), 1% carbon dioxide (CO2), and 1% argon (Ar), water vapor (H2O), neon (Ne) and other trace gases. The taint is caused by the low percentage of atmospheric oxygen. Approximately 24% of the surface is covered in seas of liquid water: average tidal ranges exceed 0.75m. Mean surface temperature: 22°C. The atmosphere is sluggish and weak weather systems powered by the star crawl across the globe. The climate is static.
Mainworld Geography and Topography
Total surface area: 191 million km², Land surface area: 145 million km², Water surface area: 46 million km².
Native Lifeforms
Bular, the mainworld, has extensive native life, consisting of microscopic organisms, stromatolite-parallels and primitive flora that can be found in almost every ecological niche. Their metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal. Bular's warm seas teem with primitive life: they are gradually thickening the atmosphere and changing its composition.
History & Background (Dossier)
No information yet available.
World starport
Bular has a Class D Starport, a poor quality installation which has few of the expected amenities. There is unrefined fuel for starships and a limited variety of ship provisions. There is no shipyard of any kind, but there may be parts and technical support for doing minor services and repair. Ports of this classification generally consist of only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.
World technology level
Bular possesses a Technology Level of TL–6.
- Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Telephone, radio, and television.
- Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early fission power generation, advanced water and wind generation of electricity.
- Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
- Land: Improved automobiles, early ATV's, and dedicated AFV's.
- Water: Amphibious vehicles, improved submersibles, and early SCUBA gear.
- Air: Early jet aircraft and rotorcraft VTOL's.
- Space: Early unmanned rocket delivery systems and early manned orbital rockets.
World government
Bular is governed by a Civil Service Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government is another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy leadership influences policy. The government leadership may select the bureaucracy leadership, but not its membership. Usually the governmental leadership is divided, or incapable of setting policy and the bureaucracy provides a stabilizing influence. The bureaucracy may be the full government bureaucracy or a section with limited jurisdiction but considerable influence like the military.
