Mainworld Geography & Topography[edit]

Solar tides have long impeded coastal settlement, although some nations have created intricate dike systems to channel water into manageable tidal estuaries.

The planet has four continents.

Native Lifeforms[edit]

Andwella's native life lacks nutrients to support human biology, but 2,700 years of agricultural expansion has spread Terran crops and assorted pests to even the uninhabited corners of the planet.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Dissidents and defeated factions from the collapsing Sindalian Empire colonised Andwella. Over the centuries, the colony slowly regressed until it reached a level of technology it could indigenously support.

Contemporary Andwella is split between 37 recognised nations states, of which four are torn by civil wars.

Andwella has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which includes 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.

  • -1400: Most of the old starships have now failed and few new ships risk journeys spinward from Corella.
  • 630: Zhodani and Imperial traders and settlers begin to make regular contact with Andwella. This contact triggers an industrial revolution and increased competition between the 38 recognised nation states of Andwella.
  • 710s-720s: Technology has approached mid-Tech Levels, with internal combustion engines and flying machines. With this technology, the first of three major world wars is fought.
  • 987: A limited nuclear exchange ends a war between two major nations and results in the Catalon Protocols, banning weapons of mass destruction and instituting rules of conduct.
