Description (Planetology)

A poor, lightly industrial desert world.

History & Background (Dossier)

A poor, lightly industrial desert world located in the Remnants Subsector of Dagudashaag Sector. Wilderness is a member of the Imperium. The system contains a Naval Base.

Classed as a poor world, Wilderness simply chooses not to trade off-planet. The Wilders (as the locals are known) are not xenophobic, but very open and friendly to all off-worlders.

Colonized in 800, by a variety of Antarian travellers. These sophonts (Human, Vargr, and Hhkar) soon learned how to survive on Wilderness. In 956 the colony applied, successfully, to be a part of the Ziadd Confederation. The "Military Rule" classification exists because the planet is still subordinate to the Naval attache office, and will remain until the official handover in 1130. This is a matter of jurisdiction, and the Wilders are left to rule themselves.

The society is divided into the traders, who ride land schooners (maglev wind driven ships) moving over open plains. The Meccas are the cities, enclosed and walled cites established on the farming belt of the planet. The cities grew from the trade of Klesh, a large seasonal vegetable with a deep root for drawing water from deep below the permafrost.

Local trade is carried out in millies and liters of water. Every person carries a waterskin or jug for holding their wealth. Off-worlders are informed that they should not import water of any quantity. And the Wilders largely assume off-worlders will also conduct trade with water, and not credits.
