Jump map from Travellermap.com

Bravl is an industrial, high-population fluidic world with a billion or more sophonts.

• A fluid world has an oceanic geography consisting of heavily contaminated water or a substance such as ammonia, methane, hydrocarbons, or other exotic liquid.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Akigura Subsector of Yiklerzdanzh Sector.

• This is a cold world with an overall climate that is at the lower temperature range of human-congruous sophont endurance.
• It is a system with an incorrectly classified primary star.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

Stellar Data

Bravl is a binary star system.

• The primary is a red main sequence.
• The secondary is a white dwarf stellar remnant

Bravl has two stars in the star system.

System Data

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

• The mainworld.
• An unknown number of secondary rocky worlds.
• x3 gas giants.

Mainworld Data

Bravl orbits towards the outer edge of its star's habitable zone.

• It receives relatively low levels of stellar energy.

It has an extremely slow rotation period: one local day is equivalent to 41 standard days (5.9 standard weeks).

Mainworld Size (S)

Bravl is a Meso World between 10,400km and 12,000km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.7G and 0.9G. The horizon will appear about 4.7km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Bravl has a Corrosive Atmosphere and possesses a concentrated gas mix or unusual temperature which requires the use of a Hostile Environment Suit or Vacc Suit. TL–9 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

• On average, the world experiences Low temperatures.
  • Temperatures climb to high levels during the 20.5 standard days 490 hours of daylight.
  • Temperatures fall to very low levels during the 20.5 standard days 490 hours of night.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Bravl has 35-45% of its surface covered by a fluid other than water. Wilderness refueling is not possible. Water for the inhabitants needs to be imported and extensively recycled. These worlds may be Hell Worlds.

• This surface fluid may be ammonia, methane, hydrocarbons, or other exotic liquids depending on the local temperature and environment.

Satellites

Bravl 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.

• Locally, detailed maps may be available.

(Blank map, exotic world.)

Native Lifeforms

The world is not believed to harbor native life.

History & Background (Dossier)

Misidentified Star

The primary star is listed on Imperial star charts as a white dwarf stellar remnant.

In actuality it is a red main sequence.

A number of systems within the subsector have stars that have been given incorrect stellar designations on star charts, almost always being misreported as white dwarfs.

• This consistent error appears to date back to the time of the Imperial First Survey.
• Some authorities claim that it was a deliberate large scale effort to discourage interest in the region.

Ongoing study by the IISS has revealed the error, but this occurred after the publication of the Imperial Second Survey.

• Verified data confirming the exact nature of the star would command premium prices.

World Starport (St)

Bravl 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)

Bravl has a population of 2,000,000,000 sophonts (billions).

• High Population Worlds like this tend to have huge consumer markets.

World Technology Level (T)

Bravl possesses a Technology Level of TL–9.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Fiber optics and satellite communication and data networks.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early fusion power.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Ultra high-speed trains and early grav vehicles.
  • Water: High efficiency sailcraft, multihulled seacraft, improved artificial gills.
  • Air: Tiltrotorcraft, exotic VTOL's, PARWIG, and rocket-assisted suborbitals.
  • Space: SSTO spacecraft, early military spacecraft (System Craft), and interstellar STL starships
  • FTL: Prototype Jump Drive-1.

World Government (G)

Bravl is governed by a Religious Autocracy. This is a direct theocracy where the government head is a single person who is also the head of the religious organization. The Church hierarchy also serves as the government bureaucracy.

World Law (L)

Bravl has an extreme law level which covers every area of interaction. Laws are complex, detailed, and difficult to understand. Every interaction with the government requires an Advocate. Law enforcement is omnipresent and strict. Legal proceeding can take months to years to resolve and may involve dozens of people. Most worlds with this law level may be an Amber Zone or Red Zone. All objects specifically manufactured as weapons are typically regulated or prohibited (with no exception for private residences; visiting starships are only protected so long as they stay within designated starports and approach corridors). All aspects of life rigidly controlled. There is no difference between the police and the military. This world is a full-fledged police state. Oppression is legalized, though not routine.
