Uffan is a rich, agricultural 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.
- This is a rich world with a prosperous and thriving world economy.
- Its economy and population are rapidly growing and living conditions are expected to quickly rise barring outside forces.
- This is a temperate world, with a climate of pleasant, average temperatures, considered to be an ideal or near-ideal environment by many different sophont species.
- It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Stanter Subsector of Halcyon Sector.
- This world-system hosts a Military Base, usually associated with military ground forces, which may be located on or off-world.

The inner system consists of (I) a vacuum worldlet, (II) a very thin atmosphere inner world, (III) a corrosive atmosphere inferno world, and (IV) an exotic atmosphere bigworld. (V) Uffan orbits within the habitable zone and is designated the mainworld. (VI) a large gas giant, (VII) a ringed large gas giant, (VIII) an exotic atmosphere bigworld, and (IX) a dense icy planetoid belt form the outer system. Many of the worlds retain satellites.
Landax Subsystem[edit]
The companion is Landax, an ordinary red subdwarf star lying approximately 890 AU from Vush. It has a luminosity of 0.0074 Sols, a mass of 0.134 Sols and a diameter of 399,000 km. (I) a vacuum iceworld and (II) a ringed small gas giant form the outer system. The gas giant retains a single large satellite.
Mainworld Data[edit]
(V) Uffan[edit]
(V) Uffan is designated the mainworld. It orbits Vush at a mean distance of 1.6 AU (241 million km), it has an orbital period of 629 days 6 hours and a rotation period of 37.3 hours. The axial tilt is 2 degrees. Uffan has a diameter of 13,052 km, a density of 5.47 g/cm³, and a surface gravity of 1.01 G. The world is geologically active. It has an atmosphere rated as Standard, with a mean surface pressure of 0.99 bar and a composition of 79% nitrogen (N2), 20% oxygen (O2), and 1% argon (Ar), water vapor (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), neon (Ne) and other trace gases. Approximately 64% of the surface is covered in oceans of liquid water: average tidal ranges are around 0.1m. Mean surface temperature: 21°C. The atmosphere is dynamic and weather systems, driven by the star and the oceans, roll across the globe. The climate is static.
Satellites[edit]
Uffan retains two natural satellites, a tiny vacuum worldlet named Strak and a cratered vacuum worldlet named Nenavid:
- (Va) Strak (UWP YS00000-0, orbiting at 45 Diameters/585,000 km)
- (Vb) Nenavid (UWP Y100000-0, orbiting at 50 Diameters/655,000 km)

Total surface area: 535 million km², Land surface area: 193 million km², Water surface area: 342 million km². Dalee and Phorge, two small continents, lie in the northern and southern tropics respectively, and the oceans are studded with subcontinental landmasses, large islands and chains of archipelagos. Much of the surface land area is concentrated within the equator and the temperate zones.
Native Lifeforms[edit]
Uffan-Vush System[edit]
Uffan, the mainworld, has extensive, abundant native life, with complex organisms inhabiting every ecological niche. Their metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal. Native fauna comes in many shapes and sizes but the single most common body pattern is bilateral HS-BT-LN-LN-T, with a skeleton interior, blood fluids, and skin exteriors. Native lifeforms have a generally similar chemistry to humans and can be consumed, though their flavor and texture is an acquired taste.
- Uffan is the world where Horvath's Ponies were first bred.
No other world in the system is known to have native life.
Landax Subsystem[edit]
No world in the subsystem is known to have native life.
History & Background / Dossier[edit]
Uffan is one of the original Seven Colonies and has been populated for far more than three millennia.
World Starport[edit]
Uffan 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[edit]
Uffan possesses a Technology Level of TL–9.
- Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Fiber optics and satellite communication and data networks.
- Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early fusion power.
- Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:

- FTL: Prototype Jump Drive-1.
World Government[edit]
Uffan is governed by a Representative Democracy where government leadership is representatives elected by eligible voters. What determines an eligible voter varies. The representatives determine policy, including selecting members of the bureaucracy. There can be referendum, votes by eligible voters on specific subjects.

Uffan has military units referred to collectively as the Uffan Strategic Space Forces.
World Economy[edit]
- Resources: B (Abundant)
- Labor: 6 (Millions)
- Infrastructure: A (Extensive)
- Efficiency: +3 (Improved)
Trade Data[edit]
Uffan is largely agricultural, though there is extensive small-scale local industry primarily geared to supporting agriculture.
Uffan produces large amounts of livestock and processed animal products.
World Demographics[edit]
Population 41,400,000
- Humaniti (Human races)
- Solomani (Major Race): 40.6 million (98% of the population), descended from the first human settlers on the world.
- Native Non-Human Races:
Urbanization[edit]
Almost the entire population are concentrated on the continent of Dalee. The chief cities are:
- Carvo (population 11.2 million), the capital and the site of the surface starport.
- Celestras (population 6.5 million)
- Paradim (population 4.5 million)
The cities are surrounded by smaller satellite towns. An efficient and well-maintained transportation network connects all of the major communities.
The continent of Phorge is divided into enormous family ranches that raise livestock. The rest of the land surface of the world is primary wilderness.
World Culture[edit]
- Homogeneity: 8 (Discordant)
- Acceptance: A (Very friendly)
- Strangeness: 6 (Very distinct, a proud heritage with ancient traditions)
- Symbols: B (Abstract, often denoting strong group affiliations)

Uffan is one of the original Seven Colonies.
- A former member of the Second Confederation.
- A former member of the Scybrian Polyarchy.
