Jump map from Travellermap.com

Chartreuse is a nonindustrial water world, which has 90% or more of its surface covered in an ocean of water.

• The inhabitants of this world live on the roughly 10% of exposed land mass, in underwater colonies, on city ships, or similar arrangements.
• 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.
• It is a member of the Solomani Confederation in the Epsilon Tauri Subsector of Aldebaran Sector.

World Starport

Chartreuse 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 Technology Level

Chartreuse possesses a Technology Level of TL–7.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Early video and early satellite communication networks.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early fuel cells, solar energy, and geothermal power sources.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Improved automobiles, hovercraft, and bullet trains.
  • Water: Hydrofoils and early triphibians.
  • Air: Hang gliders and supersonic jets.
  • Space: Deep space probes and interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).

World Government

Chartreuse 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

Chartreuse has no law in practice. It is an Anarchy. On many worlds, this by itself justifies an Amber Zone advisory. 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.

Urbanization

The citizens here currently are operating and building out the downport, which is located on of the larger islands near the equator. There are several habitable islands in the close vicinity, and there appears to be residential construction occurring.

There is a fission reactor site in operation, but little advanced technology is being used at this time.
