History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

While many subsectors of Hive Federation space situate their administrative capital on a highly populated and hospitable world, Afradoc bucks the trend, being a low-population world with a toxic environment. The only inhabitants work directly for the benefit of the Federation.

World Starport (Sp)[edit]

Afadroc 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.

  • A small, unobtrusive security force is drawn from the most suitable members of the local militia and stiffened with navy regulars.

World Population (P)[edit]

Afadroc has a population of 8,000 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 Demographics[edit]

Hivers and other Hive Federation species.

World Languages[edit]

  • Hiver Sign Language
  • Gurvin
    • Non-Hiver locals will typically speak Gurvin augmented with a pidgin of local languages and Ithkluri, to provide ambiguity and metaphor lacking from the standard Gurvin vocabulary.

World Government (G)[edit]

Afadroc is governed by a Civil Service Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government takes another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy leadership influences policy. The government leadership may select the bureaucracy leadership, but not its membership. Usually the governmental leadership is divided, or incapable of setting policy, and the bureaucracy provides a stabilizing influence. This ruling bureaucracy may be the full government bureaucractic apparatus or a section with limited jurisdiction but considerable influence, like the military.

World Military[edit]

As a member of the Hive Federation, this world can call upon Ithklur warriors as well as its own defence forces.
