Mainworld Atmosphere (A)[edit]

Addara has a pressure of 0.43 to 0.70 atmospheres. While the thin atmosphere does not require survival gear this atmosphere also contains an unusual taint 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.

Addara is thinly but widely settled, and it is rare to find completely untouched land. Most of the populace lives in the great cities, several of which are true arcologies.

World Infrastructure[edit]

This world possesses a highly developed infrastructure, and has become quite efficient at exploiting the resources of the system.

World Culture[edit]

Unlike some of its neighbors, Addara has largely embraced its Vargr population while not making concerted efforts to culturally absorb them. Already a successful world when the first and second empires fell, Addara refused to let the arrival of Vargr explorers and raiders during the Long Night dampen its light, at least initially. The rise of the Utilities, the precursors of the modern technocracy, led to some reactionary periods, but ultimately the Vargr proved to be too useful to them to be shunned or fought for long. The modern technocracy is more mixed in its responses, but unabashedly evaluates visitors for their potential benefit to the Technocrats. The acceptance of Client State status with the Third Imperium was just another calculation of benefit.

The Addaran populace embraces the same attitude to some extent, and are happy to meet new visitors. Under the watchful umbrella of the Technocracy local businessmen vie for advantage, making the populace almost cheerfully competitive.
