World Starport[edit]

Cadiz 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.

Cadiz downport is run largely by automation; meaning, totally.

World Technology Level[edit]

Cadiz possesses a Technology Level of TL–8.

  • Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Fiber optics, improved telephones, and satellite communication and data networks.
  • Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Improved geothermal and improved batteries.
  • Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
    • Land: Advanced automobiles.
    • Water: Triphibians and early artificial gills.
    • Air: Improved helicopters and hypersonic jets.
    • Space: Space shuttles, early space stations, and improved interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).

The settlements observed are built of mark II Orient domes, and appear to be powered by a set of fission reactors.

World Government[edit]

Cadiz is governed by a Participatory Democracy where eligible voters determine laws and policy. What determines an eligible voter varies. There may be smaller councils or regional bodies to write the policies voted on. Leadership of the government and all members of the bureaucracy are determined by voting population.

World Law Level[edit]

Cadiz has a moderate law level with laws covering many areas of government and interaction. These laws are simple enough that most people can act as their own advocate, though for serious issues a professional is recommended. Law enforcement officials will be present, but not in great numbers. Light assault weapons, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.

World Culture[edit]

"Only males were seen, but their dress indicated a Church-based culture. Our scout party was met virtually at the downport door by a heavily-armed party of perhaps 50 citizens, and told that we were not welcome in their society and to "be off". No further conversation was possible as each time we attempted the speak, the mob shouted us down."

Urbanization[edit]

Orient domes, mid-sized.
