Mainworld Data

World Starport (Sp)

Ziruushda has a Class A Starport, an excellent 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 other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

World Size (S)

Ziruushda is a Big World between 13,600km and 15,200km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 1G and 1.3G. The horizon will appear about 5.4km away. Vessels with only 1G of thrust should avoid landing on this world.

World Atmosphere (A)

Ziruushda has a pressure of 0.71 to 1.49 atmospheres. While a Standard Atmosphere does not require survival gear this atmosphere also contains an unusual taint such as such as disease, a hazardous gas mix, pollutants, or sulfur compounds which requires the use of a Filter Mask. Some taints may require more protective equipment. TL–3 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

World Hydrosphere (H)

Ziruushda has 65-75% of its surface covered by liquid water. It has significant large liquid bodies. Wilderness refueling is possible.

World Population (P)

Ziruushda has a population of 1,000 sophonts (thousands).

  • This is a Low Population World and the population would be too low to sustain itself without a little outside assistance. This may represent the home base of a sizable but mostly transient population such as the base of a major starship expedition, the last generation of a dying colony, the first generation of a new colony, or a large outpost that will probably evolve into a colony if not stopped.
World Government (G)

Ziruushda has a Balkanized Government. There is no central world government. The world has several governments competing for control of the world. These may be allies, cooperating, competitors, or at war with each other.

World Law Level (L)

Ziruushda has a moderate law level with laws covering many areas of government and interaction. These laws are simple enough that most people can act as their own advocate, though for serious issues a professional is recommended. Law enforcement officials will be present, but not in great numbers. All firearms, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.

World Technology Level (TL)

Ziruushda possesses a Technology Level of TL–10 or TL-A in Hexadecimal Notation.

Imperial Landed Nobility (N)

Ziruushda, as a member world of the Third Imperium has a member of the Imperial Nobility overseeing the world.

History & Background (Dossier)

Ziruushda is primarily a Hamaran colony.

Point of Interest: Mysterious Statues

It is famous mostly for the thousands of statues that lie along its coasts and under its shallow seas. These statues apparently depict all known races within Dagudashaag as well as several unknown, possibly extinct races. It is believed that the statues were left by one of those now extinct races, the Gograhhah Reivers, though the planet was apparently never colonized.

Point of Interest: Boru Religion

The planet is now home to a unique form of the Böru religion. The planet was declared an Amber Zone in 1102 after 42 Hamaran priests burnt themselves to death as a protest after a group of forwarder tourists had insisted on filming and taking souvenirs from a local funeral ceremony. IISS has now restricted access to prevent any further disturbances of a similar nature reoccurring.
