Buudal is a nonindustrial world, that requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.

  • In a technological universe, societies without industrial capability generally suffer as nearly all manufactured and high tech goods must be brought in at significant cost.
  • As a nonindustrial world, 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.
  • The world serves as the subsector capital with the significant extra trade and prestige associated with that role.
  • It is a member of the Tijian Expanse in the Ognar Subsector of Datsatl Sector.
  • This world-system hosts a Naval Base, usually associated with military starships, which may be located on or off-world.
  • This world has an exploration base, which is similar to an Imperial Scout Base, capable of handling explorer personnel and exploratory starships.

Buudal is effectively the capital of the Tijian Expanse. It is one end of the hop link to Bulgan, through which the Tijian Khaganate and Tijian Expanse trade goods, people, and information. Officially, everything heading to or from the Tijian Khaganate from or to the Tijian Expanse goes through Buudal. As such, banking for the entire Tijian Expanse, notably including accounting for each colony's contributions and expenses, is headquartered on Buudal.

As a direct result, what interstellar law enforcement exists in the Tijian Expanse is also headquartered on Buudal.

While a Standard Atmosphere does not require survival gear this atmosphere also contains an unusual taint such as 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.

World Government (G)[edit]

Buudal is governed by a Corporate Polity with a single corporation with a typical corporate structure as a government. A company town, or world. The typical corporate run world usually has a single purpose. Examples include mining, agriculture, or other kinds of resource extraction. But rather than a simple base of operations, there are facilities for housing workers and their families including hospitals, schools, and other infrastructure. How, or if, the children of the workers are incorporated into the workforce varies with companies. The corporation running the world may be a subsidiary of a larger interstellar corporation.

World Law Level (L)[edit]

Buudal 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.
