Remarks

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Bacci is notable as the site of first known contact between Terrans and Aslan. In -1980, a Clan Yerlyaruiwo survey vessel, the Awiykoheh, encountered the Cudi, a Turkophone colony vessel from Suleiman.

Bacci is governed by the ex-Hierate Awiykhalr clan.

World Starport (St)[edit]

Bacci 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]

World Languages[edit]

  • Haeto, an Aslan language originating on ancient Kusyu but nearly extinct within the Hierate, having been displaced by Trokh.

World Technology Level (T)[edit]

Bacci possesses a Technology Level of TL–5.

World Government (G)[edit]

Bacci is governed by a Religious Dictatorship. The leadership of the government is another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy). There is a powerful independent organization, the state religion, which has influence or direct control of the government. Like the bureaucratic governments this may simply be a strong influence with a secular government, have direct influence by controlling who may be in the leadership, or be a direct theocracy where the church leadership and bureaucracy is the government.

The Awiykhalr clan embrace a monotheistic religion dominating all aspects of daily life. They claim this religion is not, as might be suspected, human-influenced, and instead is the inheritor of an Aslan belief system common prior to alien contact. The clan leader is also the head of the religion and is considered a divine figure himself.
