Corinna is a pre-agricultural and nonindustrial garden world.

• Garden worlds are known for their near-ideal utopian environments conducive to most sophonts, plants, animals, and other forms of life.
• It is a pre-agricultural world with an environment suitable for large scale agricultural and livestock industries that have not yet been widely developed.
• 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.
• Its economy and population are growing and living conditions are expected to slowly rise barring outside forces.
• It is a member of the Solomani Confederation in the Euxene Subsector of Aldebaran Sector.

• This is a temperate world, with a climate of pleasant, average temperatures, considered to be an ideal or near-ideal environment by many different sophont species.
• This is a "Reserve World" with restricted access, either to protect the indigenous lifeforms, to protect available resources, preserve pristine and idyllic real estate, or other reasons.
• This world-system has a Military Base, usually associated with military ground forces, which may be located on or off-world.
• It was the homeworld of the extinct Neozinga.
• It is home to a small population of Dolphins.

System Data

The worlds of the system have been surveyed. They consist of:

• The mainworld.
• x8 secondary rocky worlds.
• x3 gas giants.

Mainworld Data

Mainworld Size (S)

Corinna is a Meso World between 8,800km and 10,400km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.6G and 0.8G. The horizon will appear about 4.4km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Corinna has a pressure of 1.50 to 2.49 atmospheres. A Dense Atmosphere requires no survival gear although it may be hard on sophonts not accustomed to it.

• It experiences generally moderate temperatures.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Corinna has 65-75% of its surface covered by liquid water. It has significant large liquid bodies. Wilderness refueling is possible.

Satellites

Corinna retains a single small moon named Bone.

• It orbits once every few days.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

No centrally held map of the world exists within AAB Library Data records.

Corinna is a relatively young world, like many in this subsector. Active tectonics are creating three major mountain ranges and numerous archipelagos and islands.

(Blank map, predominantly watery world.)

Native Lifeforms

Abundant native life occupying every available ecological niche. Its metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.

At least two forms of bipedal tree-dwelling creatures have been found thus far, and both display significant levels of intelligence without being sophont.

• Colonies of these species seem to be clustered around the ruins of Neozinga urban centers.

History & Background (Dossier)

Corinna is a Reserve World with restricted access to certain areas of the surface, largely in place to interdict the many ruined cities on the world. These are considered to be war graves.

• Some are being archaeologically studied.

Native Sophont

The Neozinga were a minor race native to the world: Neozinga is the Solomani term for this species, which have been classified as non-humanoid walkers. More specifically, Neozinga were a winged insectoid / arthropodoid analog, massing between 25 and 50 kg, with a body length of approximately 1 meter, and while primarily adapted to walking were capable of short bursts of flight. Feeding was achieved by a long, sharp proboscis, much like that of a Terran mosquito. Venom could also be injected via separate fangs. There are some indications that there was a psionic element to feeding, but there is little solid evidence of this.

During the Rim War the Confederation attempted to "relocate" a number of non-human races to other worlds, principally to fill gaps in the labor market caused by humans serving in the military. The Neozinga were always unpredictable around humans and actively resisted these relocation efforts. Following increasing numbers of violent episodes against Solomani citizens and communities, culminating in open attacks on Confederation interests and a planetary uprising that threatened to engulf other worlds in the region, the Neozinga civilization was obliterated by orbital bombardment. Their now-ruinous cities are difficult for humans to navigate, as both walking and flying are required for various locations.

The nature of Neozinga culture is not well-understood, but appears to have been highly cooperative, but within highly competitive tribes.

• Rumors persist that isolated, hidden communities of Neozinga still survive in the deep wildernesses of the world.

Solomani Security keeps a close eye on things to ensure the security of the Confederation and the well-being of its loyal citizens. Almost anyone could be a SolSec informant, passing on all sorts of useful information: some gain a reward or benefit for their actions, others are coerced, but many see it as an act of duty to help protect the Solomani state and its interests.

World Starport (St)

Corinna 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.

Ton Bleu is an orbital complex rated as a Class B highport, with a population of approximately 800.

• Sol Corinna is the orbital Military Base for the mainworld. Its population is estimated at 1200.

World Population (P)

Corinna has a population of 20,000 sophonts (tens of thousands).

• This is a Nonindustrial World, too small to support the complete chain of production of most goods from start to finish.
• More than 95% of the population (in excess of 19,000 individuals) consists of Solomani humans.
• Less than 5% of the population (fewer than a thousand individuals) is made up of Dolphins.

Urbanization

Corinna has two primary population centers, both human-built:

• Corris (Class B downport / population 14,000), a coastal settlement populated by Ivraien colonists.
• Vertis (Class G downport / population 6,000).

The local government is maintaining cultural centers, streets, electrical grids, wire/wireless communication, and a decent Worldnet. This infrastructure is clustered around Corris and Vertis, with only beaten paths to outlying homesteads. That said, local populations are making use of the damaged Neozinga roadways when possible, particularly when doing research in the ruins of the major urban center near Corris.

Linguistic Topography

The most commonly heard languages are:

• Delphinic Trinary, the principal language of Dolphins.
• Euxene French, a Terran language principally spoken in the Euxene Cluster.
• Rim Anglic, a dialect of Anglic and the principal language of the Confederation.

World Technology Level (T)

Corinna possesses a Technology Level of TL–10 or TL-A in Hexadecimal Notation.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Holovision, Personal Global Communications, and advanced Translators.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Increasingly advanced fusion plants and advanced fuel cells.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land & Water: Grav belts and maturing gravcraft.
  • Air: Greatly improved hybrid grav-aircraft.
  • Space: Improved interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
  • FTL: Jump Drive-1.

World Government (G)

Corinna has a Captive Government or Colony. The world is ruled by an external government, there is no self-rule. This is a colony or conquered area. The local government is an oligarchy appointed by, and answerable only to, the external government.

World Military

A military base is maintained and operated by the Solomani Confederation military as an orbital installation.

Armed patrols are periodically launched to monitor Neozinga urban centers and sites for signs of illegal activity.

World Law (L)

Corinna 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.
