Akimu is a high population industrial world with a population over a billion sophonts. There is an oceanic geography of a liquid other than water such as ammonia, methane, hydrocarbons, or other exotic liquids. This world is designated an Amber Zone.

Mainworld Data

Akimu has a high gravity, retains a hot atmosphere consisting of nitrogen, chlorine and carbon dioxide, and is covered in oceans that are a noxious chemical brew closely related to the atmosphere.

The rock known as shimmerstone is unique to Akimu.

Mainworld Size (S)

Akimu 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.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Akimu has a Corrosive Atmosphere and possesses a concentrated gas mix or unusual temperature which requires the use of a Hostile Environment Suit or Vacc Suit. TL–9 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Akimu has 55-65% of its surface covered by liquid water. It has significant large liquid bodies. Wilderness refueling is possible.

Mainworld Geography & Topography

No information yet available.

History and Background

The vast majority of the population are S'mrii, although there are Human enclaves in most of the tunnel cities, along with small communities of Guy-Troy. The Miak'sh (the Grand Senate) is made up of Elders who have served in the government. New members are chosen for their abilities and wield considerable powers.

On Akimu, self sufficiency is stressed above all else. Vast areas of the uplands (which receive more sunlight) are covered by hydroponic farms that grow the world's food. The lowlands are the site of chemical synthesis plants where complex compounds are extracted from the oceans and converted into plastics and fabrics. All rubbish is recycled and it is a criminal offense to waste or litter. The Kira, the local police force, rigidity enforce what off-worlders call the Garbage Laws.

World Starport (St)

Akimu has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which features amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

World Population (P)

Akimu has a population of 3,000,000,000 sophonts (billions).

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

Demographics

• S'mrii: The clear majority (80%, with another 10% being their attendant Kiakh'iee)
• Human: Less than 10% (Solomani, Vilani, Lancian, Geonee)
• Guy-Troy: Less than 10%

Linguistic Topography

The primary languages in use here are as follows:

• Core Anglic, one of the principal dialects of one of the two official languages of the Imperium.
• Kehuu, the primary language of the Lancian Cultural Region.
• Sfuizia, the primary language of the S'mrii, used throughout the S'mrii ConSentiency.
• Vilani, one of the two official languages of the Imperium.
  • Note that this language is in official use (as it is throughout the Imperium) but in practice is disfavoured by most S'mrii.

Urbanization

Under the strict waste removal laws, Guy-Troy excretions -- which are mildly toxic and cannot be recycled -- have to be completely removed from the planet. The disposal method is to transport it to a satellite in orbit around the system's innermost planet, an extremely expensive operation. As a result, only the most affluent of Guy-Troy can to afford to live on Akimu, and residence here is a major status symbol for them.

World Technology Level (T)

Akimu possesses a Technology Level of TL–9.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Fiber optics and satellite communication and data networks.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early fusion power.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Ultra high-speed trains and early grav vehicles.
  • Water: High efficiency sailcraft, multihulled seacraft, improved artificial gills.
  • Air: Tiltrotorcraft, exotic VTOL's, PARWIG, and rocket-assisted suborbitals.
  • Space: SSTO spacecraft, early military spacecraft (System Craft), and interstellar STL starships
  • FTL: Prototype Jump Drive-1.

World Government (G)

Akimu is governed by a Charismatic Oligarchy, like a charismatic dictatorship in that a larger group has asserted their right to rule. The group will likely have better rules of succession than a single dictator and may last longer, or may transition to a non-charismatic dictatorship.

• The ruling body is the Miak'sh, the Grand Senate of Akimu.

World Culture

S'mrii society is highly stratified and formed from large socioeconomic groups known as phyla. Each phylum has an overall rank in S'mrii society, which is widely described as pyramidal. Phyla vary widely in size, having anywhere between 6,000 and 15 million members.

• The basic social unit within a phylum is the Ka'usui (or "family") consisting of a pair of S'mrii, their children, and attendant Kiakh'iee. Three or four ka'usui make up an Sk*khua ("circle") which is often equated to the Human extended family.
• Loyalty to the phylum governing council is heavily emphasized as part of a S'mrii education.
