History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Comp-Prog-Dav-R-Deitrick-Starter-Trav-Page-16 16-July-2018a.jpg

Carillon is the capital of the Carillon Harmonies, located in the Stellar Chorus Subsector of Yiklerzdanzh Sector.

It is the homeworld of the Carillon.

The Night Mist Line interface line, a partnership based at Talpakuhome, operates 1000-ton jump-2 ships from Talpakuhome to Carillon. The partnership finds trade along this set route (visiting Bayou, Heaven's Scent and Forday's Fortune along the way) to be sufficiently profitable that it rarely strays from this path.

World Starport (St)[edit]

Carillon has a Class A Starport, an excellent quality installation which includes all the expected amenities including refined fuel for starships, brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing annual maintenance, overhauls and other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

World Population (P)[edit]

Carillon has a population of 7,000,000,000 sophonts (billions).

World Technology Level (T)[edit]

Carillon possesses a Technology Level of TL–12 or TL-C in Hexadecimal Notation.

World Government (G)[edit]

Carillon is governed by a Representative Democracy where government leadership is by representatives elected by eligible voters. What determines an eligible voter varies. The representatives determine policy, including selecting members of the bureaucracy. There can be referenda, votes by eligible voters on specific subjects.

World Law (L)[edit]

Carillon has a high law level with laws covering many areas of interactions of people, corporations, and the government. A few worlds with this law level may be Amber Zones. Any interaction with the judicial system requires an Advocate trained in the local legal system. Law enforcement is present almost everywhere, either as people or via technology. Legal proceedings can take weeks to months to resolve and involve a dozen or more people. All blade weapons and firearms, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.

World Culture[edit]

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