Mainworld Data

Mainworld Size (S)

Akhlare is a Meso World between 7,200km and 8,800km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.4G and 0.57G. The horizon will appear about 4km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Akhlare 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 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.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

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

History & Background (Dossier)

Akhlare is an important, industrialized, high-population world located in Akhlare Subsector of Dark Nebula.

• First contact with the native Ormine was made by Terran explorers during the Rule of Man period, and was a great shock to the Ormine, whose culture was slow-moving and very conservative, having never developed past TL–8.

World Starport

Akhlare 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 Population (P)

Akhlare has a population of 50,000,000,000 sophonts (tens of billions).

• High Population Worlds like this tend to have huge consumer markets.

World Demographics

More than 90% of the system's residents are native Ormine, with most of the remainder being Solomani humans. The Solomani are over-represented in important "advisory" positions to the Ormine gerontocrats.

World Languages

World Timeline

• -2500: By this point, Thirmone has developed on Akhlare as a common trade language.

• -1884: The Solomani make First Contact with the Ormine.

• -1870s: After years of laborious negotiations, the Terrans are able to reach a trade agreement giving the Ormine access to jump drives and other early stellar technology.

• -1082: The aggressive Htiokh clan of Aslan conquer the Human world of Godoro, later known as Tenarna, killing all Humans there. The Godoro Massacre is a wake-up to all nearby Human (and allied) worlds, and in response mutual defence alliances and new federations are formed; the Ormine settlements are formally incorporated into the current gerontocracy.
