Jump map from Travellermap.com

Darrian is a high-population, pre-rich world with a billion or more sophonts in population size.

• It lacks adequate resources to expand its economy to a rich status.
• Its economy and population are rapidly growing and living conditions are expected to quickly rise barring outside forces.
• This world contains an archaeological site with suspected high-tech remnants of the now-vanished Ancients precursor race.
• Is a member of the Darrian Confederation located in the Darrian Subsector of Spinward Marches Sector.

• It is the homeworld of the Daryen, a sophontic species and minor human race.
• A little over 90% of the population is composed of humans and other non-human sophonts.
• A little under 10% of the population is composed of Aslan.

Description (Planetology)

The surface of Darrian is divided by long, high mountain ranges into 5 basins.

• Each basin is centred on a sea fed by rivers draining the surrounding country; thus, basins are the equivalent of continents.
• Each basin also contains the remains of a "Flame Pit", once 2 km beds of glowing coals fed from below by geothermal action.
• Around each Pit stands the remnant of an Orchard.
• These trees growing here are circular but have a cross-section of about 5 square meters.
• These trees have been used as homes.

History & Background (Dossier)

Darrian is the homeworld of the Darrians, a minor race of humaniti.

• The Te-Zlodh name for this world is Daryen, which means "world" or "home."

Darrian is a small world with low gravity. Four major cities on Darrian are grav structures held aloft by grav modules. Rebhar was constructed as a mining platform for the mountainous rim of the Boyr Basin. Pororda, now a tourist centre in Rimb basin, was built as a sea farming centre. Kilulga, in the Abh basin, hangs in the upper atmosphere. Zehn Nyak in the Nyadh Basin is a migratory city, moving among 7 sites as the markets and seasons change.

Darrian is the technological centre of the Darrian Confederation, as Mire (Spinward Marches 0527) is the political center. Scientists are in charge of the government and industry, paying careful attention to possible consequences before allowing changes. There are restrictions on the export of any artifacts of pre-Maghiz culture that still remain on Darrian.
