History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

The Glorious Empire had a marine bioengineering project here, seeding Alr's oceans with aquatic life and creating an oceanic equivalent to the plains on which Aslan traditionally hunt.

After an orbital bombardment by Hierate Aslan of the Serauleiai clan, Alr was left in dire condition, and a council of aquafarmers and sea hunters now meets to discuss the many struggles of rebuilding. Many of the world's slaves have been freed to participate in this effort.

World Starport (St)[edit]

Alr 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 Population (P)[edit]

Alr has a population of 100,000 sophonts (hundreds of thousands).

  • This is a Nonindustrial World, too small to support the complete chain of production of most goods from start to finish.

World Languages[edit]

World Technology Level (T)[edit]

Alr possesses a Technology Level of TL–11 or TL-B in Hexadecimal Notation.

World Government (G)[edit]

Alr is governed by a Representative Democracy where government leadership is representatives elected by eligible voters. What determines an eligible voter varies. The representatives determine policy, including selecting members of the bureaucracy. There can be referendum, votes by eligible voters on specific subjects.

World Law (L)[edit]

Alr has a high law level with laws covering many areas of interactions of people, corporations, and the government. A few worlds with this law level may be Amber Zones. Any interaction with the judicial system requires an Advocate trained in the local legal system. Law enforcement is present almost everywhere, either as people or via technology. Legal proceedings can take weeks to months to resolve and involve a dozen or more people. All blade weapons and firearms, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.

Trivia[edit]

Alr is the Trokh numeral, "one".
