Bliazheprvlaf 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 String of Pearls Subsector of Yiklerzdanzh Sector.

• It orbits the secondary star.
• It is a chilly tundra world, with a climate of low temperatures.
• This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or above the standard for Charted Space.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

Stellar Data

Bliazheprvlaf is a binary star system.

• The primary is a turbulent white bright giant named Chiepvlal.
• The secondary is a red main sequence.

Bliazheprvlaf has two stars in the star system.

Chiepvlal

System Data

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

• The mainworld, orbiting the secondary star.
• An unknown number of secondary rocky worlds.
• x4 gas giants.

The Zhodani are interested in the system's physical properties, and have deployed unmanned sensor arrays close to the star. They also maintain two small manned habitats several AU out.

The companion star has some planets of its own, one of which is marginally habitable and has plant life. Its atmosphere is tainted with a hallucinogenic gas mix and a number of harmful pollens and spores.

Mainworld Data

Bliazheprvlaf orbits towards the outer edge of the primary star's habitable zone.

• It receives relatively low levels of stellar energy.

Mainworld Size (S)

Bliazheprvlaf is a Meso World between 5,600km and 7,200km in diameter. The world has low gravity between 0.32G and 0.46G. The horizon will appear about 3.6km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Bliazheprvlaf has a pressure of 0.71 to 1.49 atmospheres. While a Standard Atmosphere does not require survival gear this atmosphere also contains an unusual taint such as disease, a hazardous gas mix, pollutants, or sulfur compounds which requires the use of a Filter Mask. Some taints may require more protective equipment. TL–3 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

• It experiences low temperatures.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Bliazheprvlaf 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.

• The seas are crusted with pack ice.

Satellites

Bliazheprvlaf retains a single tiny planetoid moon.

• It orbits once every few hours.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

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

(Blank map, predominantly dry world.)

Native Lifeforms

Primitive native life occupying a wide range of ecological niches. Its metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.

• Native lifeforms are cryophilic - they thrive in low temperatures.

History & Background (Dossier)

In 620, Zhodani settled Fliblshichtia in order to supply Bliazheprvlaf.

World Starport (St)

Bliazheprvlaf has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which features amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

World Population (P)

Bliazheprvlaf has a population of 600 sophonts (hundreds).

• This is a Low Population World and the population would be too low to sustain itself without moderate outside assistance. This may represent a large transient population such as the crew of a fleet of starships, the dwindling remnants of a dying colony, a construction team building a new colony, or an outpost that could evolve into a colony.

World Technology Level (T)

Bliazheprvlaf possesses a Technology Level of TL–14 or TL-E in Hexadecimal Notation.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Early meson communicators.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Miniature super-batteries, early collectors, and advanced fusion plants.
• 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-5.

World Government (G)

Bliazheprvlaf is governed by Self-Perpetuating Oligarchy. A single family or small group provides the leadership and important positions within the government. These positions are inherited by members of the group or by their relatives. 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 Law (L)

Bliazheprvlaf 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.

World Culture

The world lies within the Zhodani Shadow, a region strongly influenced by the society and culture of the Zhodani Consulate.
