Asim (TR 2123) is an agricultural, nonindustrial, pre-rich garden world with a near-ideal, utopian environment conducive to most sophonts, but still lacks an adequate population to expand its economy to a rich status.

  • 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.
  • Its economy and population are rapidly growing and living conditions are expected to quickly rise barring outside forces.
  • It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Tlaiowaha Subsector of Trojan Reach Sector.

Mainworld Data[edit]

Mainworld Size (S)[edit]

Asim is a Meso World between 12,000km and 13,500km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.8G and 1.1G. The horizon will appear about 5.1km away. Vessels with 1G of thrust should check with local starport authorities before attempting to land using emergency power.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)[edit]

Asim has a pressure of 0.71 to 1.49 atmospheres. A Standard Atmosphere does not require survival gear and will likely be easy for most sophonts to breathe.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)[edit]

Asim has 65-75% of its surface covered by liquid water. It has significant large liquid bodies. Wilderness refueling is possible.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Named Asimov by the scouting team during the initial surveys of the subsector. The world was part of the Kingdom of Drinax. When an Ihatei fleet invaded Asimov (and renamed it to Asim), the entire Kingdom was utterly shattered in the subsequent war with the Aslan Hierate. After the Aslan left, the planet was ruled by The Foundation, a group with a 10,000 year plan to rule.

The world was recaptured from The Foundation in 1085 by Drinax (Trojan Reach 2223) in hopes of using it as a breadbasket agricultural world to resolve a famine. The system ships much of its agricultural output to the Kingdom of Drinax.

World Starport (Sp)[edit]

Asim 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.
