Talk:Langere (world)

I would like to write a but about this world. I posted this on the Traveller RPG FB page, but it goes like this:

Langere is a majority human world, that is a member of the Hive Federation. It had 5 major governments on the planet, the smallest of which ( The "Terran Protectorate") is dominated by the Solomani Party and does not send delegates to the Federation government, instead sending representatives to the Confederation, which allows them as external observers. The rules in the Federation strongly discourages racial discrimination, but does so through manipulation, so a number of measures that are common practices on Solomani worlds never mange to get put in place, they just mysteriously lose popularity, and are generally dropped after being proposed. Even the Terran Protectorate doesn't have the full gamut of typical Solomani restrictions on non-Solomani. Langere was a Confederation client state, but given it was a Jump-4 to the nearest Solomani worlds, and Jump-2 to the Federation, trade, exchange and culture was always with the Federation. Despite the strategic importance to the Confederation, their resources and attention has always been towards their Cold War with the Imperium, so technical aid and support languished, so eventually the planet was offered and accepted first Hive client status and then full membership. There are a number of Hiver nests that have settled in all the nations. All have popularly elected governments, and the law level is barely 6, and has been falling as the Hiver influence has been ongoing. Incidentally, so has been the crime rate, and the amount of open conflict in politics and in the public square has also been declining. There are healthy debates, but it rarely leads to instability. A number of humans have set up experimental communes with Hiver guidance as well, they may create a supervised anarchy should it continue to go well. Ships making the jump can be serviced completely, and once the shipyard is completed the ability build Jump capable spacecraft is completed in the next 5 years, the starport will be upgraded to A. Solomani documentary crews are known to go and film on the planet as this "Solomani life behind alien borders" genre is ever popular in the Confederation. Of course the documentary isn't all that accurate, but the Hivers encourage this as the rapidly rising standard of living, and bright prospects is an excellent Hiver calling card, and it can't really be that covered up. Some mixed race Solomani sometimes make the trip to immigrate. It's a trickle given the large jumps involved, but they have been going. Also SolSec maintains an office clandestinely in the Terran Protectorate, and tries to maintain assets in the other human nations.

Dear Bromo33333, this all sounds like a very good article for Langere. The simplest approach would be to insert this proposed information, and just mark those paragraphs as "NON-canon". This seems unlikely to conflict with any established information, and would be useful for players with campaigns involving Solomani and Hivers. I think you should go ahead and put these details into the page, mark them as non-canon, and other readers will enjoy the results. KevinHutchins (talk) 17:00, 20 August 2022 (EDT)
