Mainworld Data

Mainworld Size (S)

Alzenei is a Meso World between 10,400km and 12,000km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.7G and 0.9G. The horizon will appear about 4.7km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Alzenei has a pressure of 0.71 to 1.49 atmospheres. A Standard Atmosphere does not require survival gear and will likely be easy for most sophonts to breathe.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Alzenei has 75-85% of its surface covered by liquid water with a few large continents and extensive islands. Wilderness refueling is possible.

Mainworld Topography and Geography

Alzenei has two continents and very few island chains. The capital is located on the western continent, at a subtropical latitude.

• Major urban centers are marked in red.

History & Background (Dossier)

Alzenei is the hub and capital of the League of Suns, an Imperial-allied state embracing nine worlds in a loose coalition. It is an important center of trade and culture, housing a regional office of Frontiers Developments, Inc.

An Imperial mission is maintained on the world, and the government, by treaty, services Imperial scout and naval units operating in this region of space.

• The Imperial presence has helped limit encroachment by neighboring Zhodani clients.

Alzenei is the main campus of the famed Institute for System Studies.

• It is a revered center of learning, highly respected across much of Charted Space.

World Starport (St)

Alzenei 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.

• The world is host to an Imperial Scout Base.

The port is named Alz Atse Starport.

World Population (P)

Alzenei has a population of 800,000,000 sophonts (hundreds of millions).

• The population has Zhodani, Imperial, and Vlazhdumecta heritage.
• Many families can trace their ancestry to pre-Long Night Vilani colonists.

Urbanization

The capital is Alzenei City.

Although traces of the original settlement (a colony founded approximately 800 years ago by immigrants from the Spinward Marches) remain, particularly along the north bank of the Hazer River and in the Alztop district, most of the city has been thoroughly redeveloped with modern TL–12 architectural styles.

Alz Atze starport is the main terminus of a monorail line that connects Alzenei (the city) to the rest of the planet. To get around the city itself most travellers will use the subshuttle -- an underground mass transit system using grav technology which is known for its efficiency, economy and pleasing aesthetic effects. Ground transport in the city is obsolete and vehicles are rarely seen -- save for air/rafts in the residential areas where some buildings have garages on the upper levels. City blocks are separated by wide park-like malls. Pedestrians can travel -- without regard for the elements outside -- using slidewalks and unpowered walkways that run through underground passages connecting buildings. The underground levels are an important part of basic structure of the city and are lined with shops and other conveniences.

The Alzenei Municipal Complex is located at the heart of the city's business district at the end of the Concourse of Worlds. The Municipal Center is a sight worth seeing, as noted in the main guidebooks and is where most of the offices for the planetary government are located, as well as the bulk of the offices and functions for the League of Suns.

The main residential areas are approximately 12 km south of the city centre -- Cede, Hegeia and Lalzem. The suburb of Lalzem includes 100 acres (0.4 square kilometres) of protected parkland where the Institute of Systems Studies is located. Some of the Institute's museums and libraries are open to the public (between Dayborn 3 and Evenstide each day) though most research centers are private and only accessible by special appointment.

The district to the north of Alzenei City (towards the downport) is called Alztop, and although it is one of the older parts of the city, in recent years it has become a 'star town' serving starship crews and undesirable elements -- and is best avoided by casual tourists.

Linguistic Topography

• Local languages descended from Vlazhdumecta.
• Riftian Anglic, a dialect of one of the two principal languages of the Imperium.

World Government (G)

Alzenei is governed by an Impersonal Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government takes another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy dictates government policy and its execution. Government leadership is reduced to little more than figureheads and does not select the bureaucracy leadership or its members.

World Law (L)

Alzenei has a moderate level with laws covering many areas of government and interaction. These laws are simple enough that most people can act as their own advocate, though for serious issues a professional is recommended. Law enforcement officials will be present, but not in great numbers. Personal concealable firearms, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.
