Jump map from Travellermap.com

Koerrruell is an agricultural, nonindustrial, and very rich 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.
• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world. However, a rich world like this one can afford the cost of importation.
• This is a rich world with a prosperous and thriving world economy.
• Its economy and population are growing and living conditions are expected to incrementally rise barring outside forces. The world will grow even quicker when its industrial sector begins to develop.
• It is a member of the Ruler of Five in the 'soenk Subsector of Gzaekfueg Sector, which is part of the Vargr Extents.

• This is a "low technology" world with technology competencies well below technology standards for Charted Space.
• This world hosts a Vargr Corsair Base.
• It is a member of the Llaedhue Cluster.

(Blank map, predominantly dry world.)

History & Background (Dossier)

Koerrruell is a member of the Llaedhue Cluster, a small Main lying at the center of Gzaekfueg Sector.

• High cargo capacity, low jump rating vessels move among its systems, carrying vast amounts of goods and commodities between its member worlds.

(Chart sourced from Traveller Map)

• Worlds lying within the Cluster are highlighted in tan.

World Starport (St)

Koerrruell has a Class E Starport, a frontier quality installation with few 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 a downport.

• The world is host to a Vargr Corsair Base.

World Population (P)

Koerrruell has a population of 1,000,000 sophonts (millions).

• This is a Nonindustrial World, too small to support the complete chain of production of most goods from start to finish.
• The population entirely consists of Vargr.

World Technology Level (T)

Koerrruell possesses a Technology Level of TL–2.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Runners or beast relay, the printing press, long distance signaling such as the heliograph and semaphore.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Water wheels and wind power.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Riding beasts and creature-drawn wheeled vehicles.
  • Water: Sailing vessels.
  • Air: Typically not available unless a bodily ability or ride-able flying beasts available.

World Government (G)

Koerrruell is governed by a Participatory Democracy where eligible voters determine laws and policy. What determines an eligible voter varies. There may be smaller councils or regional bodies to write the policies voted on. Leadership of the government and all members of the bureaucracy are determined by voting population.

World Law (L)

Koerrruell has no law in practice. It is an Anarchy. On many worlds, this by itself justifies an Amber Zone advisory. There are few laws, covering only important areas. There may be few or no law enforcement officers, the expectation is citizens will bring law breakers to the attention of the Judicial system. Legal proceedings will be fast, with few people involved. For interactions outside of the framework of the laws, cultural norms dominate.
