Chansingol is a nonindustrial desert hellworld with a population struggling to survive in an inhospitable environment.

  • Hellworlds often offer daily, and sometimes hourly, life-threatening situations to their inhabitants. Survivors often develop intense survival skills and tend to be grim realists.
  • This world has no free-standing water.
  • It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
  • It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Rure Subsector of Gushemege Sector in the Domain of Vland.
  • This world has an Imperial Naval Base, capable of handling warships.
  • During the Long Night this world was named Apduu.

Imperial Landed Nobility[edit]

Chansingol, as a member world of the Third Imperium has a member of the Imperial Landed Nobility who acts as an Imperial representative to the world.

World Starport (St)[edit]

Chansingol has a Class B Starport, a good 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 most kinds of repair, and construction of non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

History-Era: New Era[edit]

Chansingol was a Jonkeereen colony, one of the SuSAG experiments with the genetic code. These Jonkeereen are modified to extract the normally deadly high oxygen rate in their atmosphere; they are breathing the water instead of drinking it.

When the TankRon of the famous 271st Fleet was lost, the small TL–D naval base was moved to Usdiki. The Jonkeereen stayed on Chansingol, forgotten in the last days of the war. "Everything is over" was a message they got from Usdiki 284-1130.

Three days later this message came true when two cruisers decided to nuke the planet because they didn't find a tanker. Since then the population has been in steady decline. The nuclear contamination left by the two cruisers' bombardment is a problem no organic race can stand for long without degeneration.

The remaining population lives in a mountain region south of the central "lake". The lake itself is glass now, and has about 6000 REM in the center where the former Chansingol starport was. The government is extremely paranoid and split in several tribes, each ruled by a small group of warriors. Female infanticide and slavery are common social practices of those tribes who have access to high tech weapons traded from offworld.

Chansingol does not have a port and while trade is not forbidden, traders should think twice about the toys they offer.
