Jump map from Travellermap.com

Arla Un is an icy, non-agricultural and preindustrial world, whose surface is ice-capped and with nearly all of its water frozen.

• It is unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
• It is a world working toward being an industrial powerhouse but lacks an adequate workforce to do so. It must now import many of its manufactured and high tech goods.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Sanches Subsector of Core Sector in the Domain of Sylea.
• This world has an Imperial Naval Base, capable of handling warships.

Description (Planetology)

Arla Un has been subjected to multiple large impacts that stripped away much of its lithosphere and crust, leaving the metal-rich mantle exposed.

Mainworld Topography and Geography

An oceanic slurry of water, tar and sulphuric acid moves along longitudinal cracks and canyons, as well as through deep veins under the surface. A high degree of volcanic and tectonic activity results in an ever-changing geography with crumbling hills and mountains.

History & Background (Dossier)

World Starport (St)

Arla Un 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.

• Arla Un has two Class-B downports emplaced in mobile cities, one on tracks and the other on a gravitic platform.
• There is an associated Imperial Naval Base, hosting elements of the Imperial 200th Fleet.

World Population (P)

Arla Un has a population of 20,000,000 sophonts (tens of millions).

Urbanization

There are three city types:

• Underground cities have been placed in relatively stable pockets, far away from volcanism and underground acid oceans.
• Surface 'cities' are wheeled or tracked platforms that slowly rove around the planet.
• Gravitic habitations float close to the surface to avoid direct exposure to the powerful rays of Kir Aikhalingas.

Surface and gravitic cities use a combination of imagery and data collected by rad-shielded satellites and heat-shielded rovers and drones to guarantee their safe transit around the world.

World Technology Level (T)

Arla Un possesses a Technology Level of TL–11 or TL-B in Hexadecimal Notation.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Holovision, Personal Global Communications, and advanced Translators.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Increasingly advanced fusion plants and advanced fuel cells.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land, Water & Air: Personal G-Tubes and advanced gravcraft.
  • Space: Advanced interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
  • FTL: Jump Drive-2.

World Government (G)

Arla Un is governed by Self-Perpetuating Oligarchy. A single family or small group provides the leadership and important positions in the government. These positions are inherited by member of the group or their family members. The organization may be a monarchy, with titles passed to family members, or a plutocracy where inheritance of the family fortune includes government position. Alternatively, the organization may be a more typical government apparatus, only with positions of power inherited.

World Military

No information yet available.

World Law (L)

Arla Un has a low law level. There are few laws, covering only important areas. There may be few or no law enforcement officers, the expectation is citizens will bring law breakers to the attention of the Judicial system. Legal proceedings will be fast, with few people involved. For interactions outside of the framework of the laws, cultural norms dominate. Machine guns, other automatic weapons, portable energy weapons, and other military weapons, body pistols, explosives, and poison gas are typically regulated or prohibited.
