• This is a "low technology" world with technology competencies well below technology standards for Charted Space.
• This a "forbidden" world designated as a Red Zone with an environment, laws, customs, life forms, or other conditions that make it extremely dangerous to visitors. Everyone is forbidden to travel here.

System Data

The worlds of the system have been surveyed. They consist of:

• The mainworld.
• x6 secondary rocky worlds.
• x3 gas giants.

Mainworld Data

Mainworld Size (S)

Kanogo is a Meso World between 12,000km and 13,500km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.8G and 1.1G. The horizon will appear about 5.1km away. Vessels with 1G of thrust should check with local starport authorities before attempting to land using emergency power.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Kanogo has a pressure of 1.50 to 2.49 atmospheres. A Dense Atmosphere requires no survival gear although it may be hard on sophonts not accustomed to it.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Kanogo has 35-45% of its surface covered by liquid water. There will be a number of small seas or one larger body of water. Wilderness refueling is possible.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

No centrally held map of the world exists within AAB Library Data records.

(Blank map, predominantly dry world.)

History & Background (Dossier)

Kanogo is a Forbidden World and is designated as a Red Zone. It presents serious risks and dangers due to the environment or native life forms, laws or customs, or other conditions that make it extremely dangerous to visitors.

• Travel to this world is prohibited.

World Starport (St)

Kanogo does not have a starport. The Class X Starport is an indication that no starport exists in the system. There are no facilities or services available, and no site marked for landing.

World Population (P)

Kanogo has a population of 3,000,000,000 sophonts (billions).

• High Population Worlds like this tend to have huge consumer markets.
• The population entirely consists of Vargr.

World Technology Level (T)

Kanogo possesses a Technology Level of TL–0.

• These worlds often contain a Proto-Sophont species beginning to establish a nascent civilization and society.
• This world is in its Alpha Period and has not yet been interfered with by a higher technology civilization.
• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Bodily communicative apparati, courier-runners, and smoke signals.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Bodily muscle.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Bodily locomotion, riding beasts, and litters or sedan chairs.
  • Water: Swimming, rafts, and canoes.
  • Air: Typically not available unless a bodily ability.

World Government (G)

Kanogo is governed by a Religious Dictatorship. The leadership of the government is another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy). There is a powerful independent organization, the state religion, which has influence or direct control of the government. Like the bureaucratic governments this may simply be a strong influence with a secular government, have direct influence by controlling who may be in the leadership, or be a direct theocracy where the church leadership and bureaucracy is the government.

World Law (L)

Kanogo has an extreme law level which covers every area of interaction. Laws are complex, detailed, and difficult to understand. Every interaction with the government requires an Advocate. Law enforcement is omnipresent and strict. Legal proceeding can take months to years to resolve and may involve dozens of people. A world with this law level may be an Amber Zone or a Red Zone. All objects specifically manufactured as weapons are typically regulated or prohibited (with no exception for private residences; visiting starships are only protected so long as they stay within designated starports and approach corridors). Civilian movement is rigidly controlled. On worlds with this degree of law, it is difficult to distinguish the police from the military. On others, there is no difference.

World Timeline

Major events that have affected this world and the wider region that it lies within:

• -3810: the Vargr discover jump technology and begin an era of expansion.

• -2404 to -2215: the human Interstellar Wars rage to rimward.
• -2204 to -1776: the Rule of Man nominally administers the rimward worlds of the region. Conflicts escalate between Vargr and humans as the Vargr occupy former Ziru Sirka territory.

• -1776 to 0: the Long Night. There is widespread regression within the area and some worlds become barren.
• circa -1700: Vargr rimward expansion gradually ceases: the border between human and Vargr space stabilizes.
• -1658: the Sack of Gashikan, an atrocity known throughout the coreward parts of Charted Space.
• -1483 to -321: the Gashikan Race Wars rage between human and Vargr extremists across the Extents.
• -1427: the Wolvesbane plague is released in Gashikan Sector, decimating Vargr populations.
• The Year 0: to rimward, the Third Imperium is founded.
• circa 26: the Empire of Varroerth is founded.
• 300-420: the Imperial First Survey charts the system.
• late 800s: the Ngath Confederation begins to form and gradually absorbs neutral worlds and smaller polities.
• 995-1065: the Imperial Second Survey charts the system.
• circa 1040: the 17th Disjuncture is founded and rapidly brings neutral worlds under its banner, directly competing with the Ngath Confederation.
• 1065: the Second Survey is published. Information about the system becomes widely available.
