Jump map from Travellermap.com

Brasov is a non-agricultural, pre-industrial vacuum world, which warrants hazardous environment precautions.

• Life in a vacuum requires great discipline. After all, it only takes one forgotten seal on a vacuum suit to spell death. Those who survive tend to be very methodically-minded and attentive to small detail.
• It is unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.
• Its economy and population are slowly growing and living conditions are expected to improve in the near future barring outside forces.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Bengalaz Subsector of Theta Borealis Sector.

• It is a main world which is a satellite of either a gas giant or another world.
• Vacuum worlds have no climate, but experience extreme differences in temperature between direct starlight and shade.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

Brasov has a solitary primary star.

• It is a huge red giant.

System Data

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

• The mainworld.
• x9 secondary rocky worlds.
• x2 planetoid belts.
• x1 gas giant.

Mainworld Data

Brasov is a satellite of a Gas Giant.

The mainworld and its gas giant primary orbit within the outer system.

• They receive very low levels of stellar energy.

• They orbit inside the stars gigantic Jump Shadow.

Mainworld Size (S)

Brasov is a Small World between 900km and 2,400km in diameter. The world has very low gravity between 0.05G and 0.09G. The horizon will appear about 2km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Brasov has a pressure of less than 0.001 atmospheres which requires the use of a Vacc Suit. TL–8 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Brasov has no free-standing water or ice on the surface. Wilderness refueling isn't possible on this world. Water for the inhabitants needs to be imported and extensively recycled. These worlds are classified Desert World or a Hell World depending on their atmosphere.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

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

• Locally, detailed maps may be available.
• Verified updated charts are constantly sought.
• Detailed survey data commands premium prices.

(Placeholder chart, vacuum world.)

Native Lifeforms

No native life.

History & Background (Dossier)

Brasov is busy and is relatively well developed. The system has been settled for many centuries.

• Information about the system is sparse.
• The resources of the system are being exploited.

There is regular activity within the system.

• Commercial traffic is frequent: ships regularly arrive and depart.
• Commo is buzzing with signals and private chatter. Communications are in Riftian Anglic.
• Multiple commercial navigation beacons will be active.
• A number of vessels will 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)

Brasov has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which includes 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 Technology Level (T)

Brasov possesses a Technology Level of TL–7.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Early video and early satellite communication networks.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early fuel cells, solar energy, and geothermal power sources.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Improved automobiles, hovercraft, and bullet trains.
  • Water: Hydrofoils and early triphibians.
  • Air: Hang gliders and supersonic jets.
  • Space: Deep space probes and interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).

World Government (G)

Brasov is governed by a Feudal Technocracy. Society divides itself based on the technical requirements of the society. Each of these functions are granted as a fief to an individual or group. Leadership of these fiefs determines the head of the government.

World Military

Approximately 150,000 personnel.

World Law (L)

Brasov 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. Portable energy weapons, body pistols, explosives, and poison gas are typically regulated or prohibited.

World Economy

• Resources: 9 (moderate)
• Labor: 6 (millions)
• Infrastructure: 7 (generally available)
• Efficiency: -5 (extremely poor)

Trade Data

• Importance: -1 (unimportant)

World Demographics (P)

Brasov has a population of 50,000,000

Urbanization

A single huge metropolis is home to the entire population.

• Most of the surface of the world remains as wilderness.

World Culture

• Homogeneity: 3 (monolithic)
• Acceptance: 6 (aloof)
• Strangeness: 1 (very typical)
• Symbols: 3 (very concrete)
