Alzirr is a nonindustrial world, that requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.

  • In a technological universe, societies without industrial capability generally suffer as nearly all manufactured and high tech goods must be brought in at significant cost.
  • As a nonindustrial world, it requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.
  • It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Firdausi Subsector of Aldebaran Sector.

Remarks Flare Star.

The Alzirr System orbits a white subgiant in the late stages of expansion into a full giant star. Expansion is accelerating but the time frame is still in the millions of years. However, the primary is prone to flares and matter ejections which disrupted an otherwise promising terraforming project.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Around 60% of personnel on Alzirr are "contract-citizens". They are given citizenship for a few years to help reinforce a claim to the system as a "territorial anchor" but to most of them Alzirr is more of a workplace than a home.

World Starport[edit]

Alzirr has a Class E Starport, a frontier quality installation with few expected amenities. There is unrefined fuel for starships and a limited variety of ship provisions. There is no shipyard of any kind, but there may be parts and technical support for doing minor services and repair. Ports of this classification generally consist of a downport.
