Azhtliprsha is a fluid world with oceans of a liquid other than water such as ammonia, methane, or hydrocarbons, or other exotic liquids. It is a member of Zhodani Consulate in the Yeplzhaf Subsector of Knoellighz Sector and in the Province of Shtochiadr.

• On some older star charts, this world is referred to as Chavlzhdoblshet.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

Azhtliprsha is a large, roasting hot world of high gravity and fluid hydrographics, populated largely with Zhodani and imported, Infinity League Vargr workers.

Azhtliprsha has two stars in the star system.

History & Background (Dossier)

A catastrophic accident occurred in 1104, involving chemicals collected for refining that were incorrectly mixed with others to become a volatile and toxic environment. It flooded the domes' underground chambers, ruining equipment and computers, causing the Tech Level to collapse to 2. Now listed as a Doomed world with a Tech Level deficiency of -8, (the worst of the entire Knoellighz Sector), the population of more than ten million struggle to survive and beg for exodus from the planet's surface. The world requires a minimum of A (10) Tech Level to regain stability and homeostasis, yet to arrive. The closest world of Yeplzhaf Subsector that can possibly render aid is Aiak (Knoellighz 0423) and vessels are recruited there for rescue missions on a daily basis.

Transports from all over Yeplzhaf Subsector arrive weekly to take on refugees. With such a high demand for exodus, fights are barely contained by the Zhodani government and law trying desperately to keep the evacuation orderly. Many confrontations stem from local Vargr wishing desperately to return to their home polity, the Infinity League. Nearby worlds of this subsector are deficient in Tech Level to yield any help in containing and reducing the ever-growing damage Azhtliprsha has suffered. Those fortunate Zhodani who do escape with help from Aiak are relocated to Chtozhoqrkrensh (Knoellighz 0625), a Low-Population world in need of workers already familiar with higher temperatures and gravity. All-too-happy to immigrate, many former inhabitants of Azhtliprsha have many tales to share of the nightmare environment and exodus.

Azhtliprsha suffers from a high gravity and workers must have significant physical capability to withstand it.

World Government

The Government is a hybrid of psionic hive-minded leaders in a cluster of shared thoughts and gives rise to an ordered strict society that both hindered and kept safe the inhabitants in the domes and underground chambers before the calamity of 1104.

Because of the 1104 calamity, the Zhodani Consulate is considering an Unabsorbed (equivalent to an Imperium Amber Zone) warning to discourage any traffic but that aimed at rescue of the millions dying slowly from poisoning and corrosives.

In addition to a partially-dangerous Fluid hydrographics world, the Insidious (corrosive) atmosphere threatens the domes from above, making survival perpetually borderlining emergency on a daily basis. Systems failures occur weekly and the world has little hope of recovering.
