History and background

The Family Gagnii has ruled Dupusirlu for hundreds of years, from the capital city of Shaszu on the one sizeable island in the World Ocean. They derive a sizeable personal income from their Imperial Monopoly on the export of water to the nearby desert world of Negev (Dagudashaag 2714), and the import of rare plants in return. Gagnii-Shaszu sells the plants, at considerable profit, to pharmaceutical companies. Other citizens of Dupusirlu work in the combines processing seaweed for the Company, or fish. The Family runs a small fleet of 50,000-tonne Jump-1 water-tankers to support its monopoly.

The TAS, under the following Advisory Notice classes the planet as an Amber Zone: Visitors are confined to the Starport region unless special permits are obtained from the Gagnii-Shaszu Company. It is a Civil Offence, similar to libel elsewhere, to comment unfavourably on anyone’s personal income or wealth; the ruling family habitually use this and similar measures to suppress comment on their rule. It is classed as a serious Criminal Offence to try to break the Water Monopoly over Negev, or otherwise interfere in the Water trade, and anyone found to be contravening the monopoly may be imprisoned or executed.

A TL–12 Mercenary battle force is maintained to enforce this. Dupusirlu is one of the few worlds still employing Negevian mercenary soldiers for desert operations on the Negev home world.
