Ar'Chrinhdah is an agricultural, nonindustrial world still lacking adequate means to expand its economy.

  • As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
  • It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
  • This is a traditionally non-aligned world in the Ekteiu Subsector of Touchstone Sector.
  • The common Aslan name for this world is Ilryoa; the name Ar'Chrinhdah is the closest Humans can get to the sound made by the world's Ascondi inhabitants.

Mainworld Data[edit]

Mainworld Size (S)[edit]

Ar'Chrinhdah is a Meso World between 8,800km and 10,400km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.6G and 0.8G. The horizon will appear about 4.4km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)[edit]

Ar'Chrinhdah has a pressure of 0.71 to 1.49 atmospheres. While a Standard Atmosphere does not require survival gear this atmosphere also contains an unusual taint such as disease, a hazardous gas mix, pollutants, or sulfur compounds which requires the use of a Filter Mask. Some taints may require more protective equipment. TL–3 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)[edit]

Ar'Chrinhdah has 35-45% of its surface covered by liquid water. There will be a number of small seas or one larger body of water. Wilderness refueling is possible.

History and Background[edit]

In 1105, Ar'Chrinhdah is populated by several million Ascondi, who have a mature TL-6 society. A few Aslan and Humans also dwell in remote areas of the world; the Aslan are mostly small bands of ihatei, rather optimistically claiming that they own the planet, whilst the Humans are a collection of prospectors and explorers.

World Starport (Sp)[edit]

Ar'Chrinhdah has a Class D Starport, a poor quality installation which has few of the 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 only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

World Population (P)[edit]

Ar'Chrinhdah has a population of 5,000,000 sophonts (millions).

New Era[edit]

Ilryoa was interdicted after a major industrial accident in 1155. The then-controlling Tlawstea clan was apparently using a small station established here in the manufacturing of a variety of contraband materials. An accident created a chemical leak that killed most of the station's population. A Tlaukhu military ship responded to the station's distress signal, and the clan's illegal activities became public knowledge. The entire clan was either executed or banished, an unusually severe punishment. It is worth noting that the clans most zealous in prosecuting Tlawstea were themselves allegedly involved in many of its illegal activities, though few in the sector seemed to see anything amiss with that. At any rate, the world was forbidden to other settlement, tainted by Tlawstea's perfidy.
