Mainworld Data
Pavabid is a world with near-average gravity, standard atmosphere, temperate climate, and bountiful water.
With its near-average gravity, standard atmosphere, temperate climate, and bountiful water, Pavabid is potentially a rich world. However, due to the policies of its theocratic regime, the planet's wealth and technological development lag far behind those of its less well-endowed neighbors Collace (Spinward Marches 1237) and Trexalon (Spinward Marches 1339).

History & Background (Dossier)
Some suspect that there was a population on this world by the 400's, who were refugees from the Sindalian Empire .
It was settled by colonists soon after the first complete IISS survey of the system in 502.
World Starport (Sp)
Pavabid has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which includes amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.
World Population (P)
No information yet available.
World Demographics
Humaniti, population 100%
World Government (G)
Pavabid has a Captive Government or Colony. The world is ruled by an external government, there is no self-rule. A colony or conquered area. The local government is an oligarchy appointed by, and answerable only to, the external government.
Government Data
Pavabid's 700 million inhabitants live in a stagnant, inflexible society that stifles intellectual and economic growth. Since immigration and emigration are illegal, interstellar trade is tightly restricted, and information is strictly controlled, the majority of the inhabitants can conceive of no other way of life. Most live in small towns built around light industry that are separated by expansive agricultural districts.
Offworlders are permitted on the planet only at the Pavabid Starport and Trade Enclave. This area of four square kilometers is completely cut off from the rest of Pavabid by hundreds of kilometers of wilderness and water, in order to prevent outside contamination of pure Pavabidian society. It is staffed by only the most loyal members of the Thearchy and guarded by church troops. The law level in the trade enclave is 8; in normal Pavabid society it is 9 or even A. The Travellers' Aid Society has classified Pavabid as an amber zone (dangerous) because it is easy to run afoul of its many laws even within the trade enclave.
Pavabid is ruled by a religious dictatorship established in 780. This deeply-entrenched theocracy is a rigid offshoot of the widespread Church of the Stellar Divinity, led by the Son of the Star, Thearch and Divine Ruler of Pavabid. All activities are regarded as religious in nature, and the church enforces strict rules of behavior governing even the most mundane aspects of everyday life.
Pavabid has become a bone of contention in the ongoing 'cold war' between Collace and Trexalon. Ever since iridium deposits were discovered on Pavabid, both sides have been competing for the Son of the Star's favor in order to secure mineral exploitation rights. To date, however, he has rejected both parties’ advances due to fears that introducing large numbers of off-world miners would irrevocably pollute Pavabid's pure theocratic society.
