Bellvier is a low-population world with a population of less than 10,000 sophonts in size.

• This world has yet to take off economically or otherwise and the population remains low for reasons largely unknown.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Bilahew Subsector of Fulani Sector.

• It is a balmy tropical world, with a climate of high temperatures.
• This is a "low technology" world with technology competencies well below standard for Charted Space.

System Data

The worlds of the system have been surveyed. They consist of:

• The mainworld.
• x3 secondary rocky worlds.
• x1 planetoid belt.
• x5 gas giants.

Mainworld Data

Bellvier orbits towards the inner edge of its star's habitable zone.

• It receives relatively high levels of stellar energy.

Mainworld Size (S)

Bellvier 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)

Bellvier 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.

• The world experiences relatively high temperatures.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Bellvier has 25-35% of its surface covered by liquid water. It has a few small seas. Wilderness refueling is possible. Water for the inhabitants will be recycled.

• Much of the surface is an arid, hostile environment.

Satellites:

Bellvier retains three small vacuum moons.

• The three worlds orbit every few weeks.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

No centrally held map of the world exists within AAB Library Data records.

• Locally, detailed maps may be available.

(Placeholder chart, predominantly dry world.)

Native Lifeforms

Abundant native life occupying every available ecological niche. Its metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.

• Native life thrives in wetland and coastal regions.

History & Background (Dossier)

Bellvier is a backwater outpost with almost no development.

• The resources of the system are largely untapped.

There is little activity within the system.

• Commercial traffic is very infrequent: ships rarely visit.
• Commo picks up occasional signals and private chatter. Communications are in Zdetl.
• A single commercial navigation beacon may be active.
• Vessels are unlikely be operating among the other worlds and moons that make up the system.

Note that social data, though only 40 years old, may be out of date.

• Verified updated data is constantly sought.

World Starport (St)

Bellvier has a Class E Starport, a frontier quality installation with few 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 a downport.

World Demographics (P)

Bellvier has a population of 10.

Urbanization

A single central facility, lying adjacent to the starport, with a few outlying structures and compounds.

• Almost all of the surface of the world is wilderness.

World Technology Level (T)

Bellvier possesses a Technology Level of TL–4.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Telephone and telegraphs, widespread printing.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early electricity, hydrocarbon internal combustion.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Trains and early automobiles.
  • Water: Clippers and steam ships.
  • Air: Dirigibles, balloons, very basic rockets.

World Government (G)

Bellvier has no central government or substantial government apparatus; an Anarchy. The largest governmental structure would be a family, tribe, or single clan. The largest group will be between 50 and 100 individuals, and there may be dozens to hundreds of them. This governmental structure can be stable over long periods of time if the population remains small or geographically separated.

World Military

None.

World Law (L)

Bellvier has no law in practice. It is an Anarchy. On many worlds, this by itself justifies an Amber Zone advisory. 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.
