Jump map from Travellermap.com

Lafkin is a preindustrial, moderate population water world with over a hundred million, but not yet at a billion sophonts in population size.

• Its surface is 90% or more covered in an ocean of water.
• The inhabitants of this world live on the roughly 10% of exposed land mass, in underwater colonies, on city ships, or similar arrangements.
• As a preindustrial world, this planet cannot yet manufacture enough high-technology resources to support a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• It is a member of the Florian League in the Nora'a Subsector of Trojan Reach Sector.

• Nearly 100% of the population is composed of Floriani, a minor human race.
• Less than 10% of the population is composed of other sophonts.

History & Background (Dossier)

Lafkin is a Florian League water world located in the Nora'a Subsector of the Trojan Reach.

• The system was held by the Glorious Empire until recently conquered by the League in the so-called Eahaw Campaign.
• The Floriani moved in to secure Lafkin as a supply base, then kept it when hostilities ceased.

Economy

The Florian currency is the tlientir.

The League imposes a moderate income tax on all citizens and resident non-citizens. This tax is supplemented by various fees paid to the government for services.

World Culture

The diminutive Barnai are the leaders and intellectuals; the hulking Feskals the labour. Feskals are obedient to Barnai.

Barnai live a life of leisure for their first 16 years. Schooling consists of directed personal study, with each student pursuing individual interests. Once a Barnai reaches maturity at the age of 20, they are expected to perform some sort of public service for a few years.
