Ang Vueng is a pre-agricultural and nonindustrial world lacking adequate development for its economy to become prosperous.

  • 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 member of the Irrgh Manifest in the Uekhourg Subsector of Provence Sector.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)[edit]

Ang Vueng is a binary star system.

  • The primary is an orange main sequence.
  • The secondary is a white dwarf stellar remnant.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)[edit]

Ang Vueng has a pressure of 0.43 to 0.70 atmospheres. The Thin Atmosphere does not require survival gear although it may be hard on sophonts not accustomed to it.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Comp-Prog-Dav-R-Deitrick-Starter-Trav-Page-16 16-July-2018a.jpg

Ang Vueng is a former member world of the Contract of Taarskoerzn, an isolationist Religious Dictatorship founded in the early 100s by a sect of Taarskoe-worshippers fleeing Lair. It was absorbed by the Irrgh Manifest in a war of conquest in the early 400s. It broke away from the Manifest in the mid 800s, joining the newly formed Glory of Taarskoerzn, but was recaptured during the Glory's short war of independence. The terms of the armistice left it under Manifest control.

World Starport (St)[edit]

Ang Vueng has a Class B Starport, a good 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 most kinds of repair, and construction of non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

World Population (P)[edit]

Ang Vueng has a population of 70,000 sophonts (tens of thousands).

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

Faith and Belief[edit]

Most of the population follow the Church of the Chosen Ones. Formerly, until around 900, the world had almost exclusively followed Taarskoism, worship of the ancient Vargr god Taarskoe.

  • The regional sect of the Church has declared Taarskoe to be a prophet of the faith and formally recognized his teachings, and in so doing has brought many followers of Taarskoism into its fold.
  • Many of the faithful carry a short, unadorned sword.
  • Some groups reject the Church of the Chosen Ones, continuing to follow pure Taarskoism.

World Technology Level (T)[edit]

Ang Vueng possesses a Technology Level of TL–8.

  • Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Fiber optics, improved telephones, and satellite communication and data networks.
  • Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Improved geothermal and improved batteries.
  • Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
    • Land: Advanced automobiles.
    • Water: Triphibians and early artificial gills.
    • Air: Improved helicopters and hypersonic jets.
    • Space: Space shuttles, early space stations, and improved interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).

World Government (G)[edit]

Ang Vueng is governed by a Civil Service Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government is another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy leadership influences policy. The government leadership may select the bureaucracy leadership, but not its membership. Usually the governmental leadership is divided, or incapable of setting policy and the bureaucracy provides a stabilizing influence. The bureaucracy may be the full government bureaucracy or a section with limited jurisdiction but considerable influence like the military.

World Law (L)[edit]

Ang Vueng 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 objects specifically manufactured as weapons are typically regulated or prohibited (outside private residences or visiting starships).
