Andwella is a rich world with a moderate population of over a hundred million, but not yet a billion sophonts in size.

  • This world has high-grade living conditions with a good climate and a non-harmful environment. As such, this world is much sought after with large queues for immigration here.
  • This world has a prosperous and thriving world economy.
  • Most observers think that the planet's economy and population will prosper further in the near future barring outside forces.
  • It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Andwella Subsector of Vanguard Reaches Sector.
  • This world-system has a Naval Base, usually associated with military starships, which may be located on or off-world.
  • This is a "Puzzle" world designated as an Amber Zone. Caution is advised since the world has an environment, laws, customs, life forms, or other conditions that are not well understood and might be a danger to a visitor.
  • This world has also been called Ertelliza. [2]

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.

The Cousins of Redwol, a well-known Freni mercenary unit known for guerrilla tactics, has fought in wars on Andwella.

World Starport[edit]

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.
