Imperial High (Landed) Nobility
Shudusham, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estates of two members of the Imperial Nobility, who are charged with overseeing the world.
World Starport
TBD has a Class B Starport, a good quality installation which includes all the expected amenities including refined fuel for starships, brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing annual maintenance, overhauls and most kinds of repair, and construction of non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.
World Technology Level
TBD 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
TBD has no central government for the world, an Anarchy. The largest governmental structure would be a family, tribe, or single clan. The largest group will be between 50 and 100 individuals, and there may be dozens to hundreds of them. This governmental structure can be stable over long periods of time if the population remains small or geographically separated.
- Shudusham's government is a feudal technocracy. The technocratic government has made some efforts in the past to encourage tourism, but these efforts have been largely unsuccessful because of the atmosphere and crowded conditions.

Historical Data
During the First Imperium, Shudusham became home to about 200 million Vilani colonists, who settled at first on the surface. These early miners soon built large undersea complexes, both for better proximity to the ocean's resources and because the artificial environment was more livable than that above the ocean.
During the Long Night, Shudusham lost contact with other worlds, and in fact some of the undersea complexes lost contact with other archologies. More than 1,000 years later, when the Sylean Federation was established, it was found that linguistic drift had given different sea cities mutually unintelligible languages. Shudusham's rich mineral ores formed the backbone of the new Sylean Federation's military and industrial power.
In -110, Shudusham was the site of the signing of the Shudusham Concords, an agreement regarding the use of weapons in robots. More than 500 years later, in 404, a group of roboticists meet at Shudusham to share their latest technological breakthroughs. Shudusham was chosen as the site because of its historic significance and central location. The conference was a success; so much so, in fact, that the Shudusham Robotics Conference has continued to meet every ten years since.
