Mainworld Data

Mainworld Size (S)

Daekvagul is a Meso World between 10,400km and 12,000km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.7G and 0.9G. The horizon will appear about 4.7km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Daekvagul has a pressure of 0.71 to 1.49 atmospheres. A Standard Atmosphere does not require survival gear and will likely be easy for most sophonts to breathe.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Daekvagul has 85-95% of its surface covered by liquid water with a few small continents, and a number of islands and archipelagos. Dry land is limited. Wilderness refueling is possible.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

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

(Blank map, predominantly watery world.)

History & Background (Dossier)

Daekvagul is a Puzzle World and is designated as an Amber Zone. It presents particular risks and dangers due to the environment or native life forms, laws or customs, or other conditions that are not well understood.

• Visitors are advised to act with caution.

It was originally settled by the Vilani around eight millennia ago and was eventually absorbed into the Ziru Sirka. It was nominally under the authority of the Rule of Man prior to the Long Night.

• It has Ziru Sirka-era ruins and remains on its surface.

World Starport (St)

Daekvagul 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.

• The world is host to a Vargr Naval Base.
• Vargr starports reflect the variety of Vargr architecture, with many disparate styles of building, each having their own unique ornamentation and gaudy colour scheme, and all competing for the attention of the onlooker. Emblems for the major shipping lines and port facilities abound.

World Population (P)

Daekvagul has a population of 80,000,000,000 sophonts (tens of billions).

• High Population Worlds like this tend to have huge consumer markets.
• The population entirely consists of Vargr.

Urbanization

Vargr cities are lively and chaotic, full of garish colours and loud noises. Streets are packed and buildings press together. Vehicle traffic is fast and chaotic; the accident rate is low only because of superior Vargr reflexes. Zoning codes are rare, and districts jumble together.

World Technology Level (T)

Daekvagul possesses a Technology Level of TL–13 or TL-D in Hexadecimal Notation.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Holovideo recorders.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Miniature super-batteries, prototype collectors, advanced fusion plants.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land, Water & Air: Personal G-Tubes and advanced gravcraft.
  • Space: Advanced interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
  • FTL: Jump Drive-4.

World Government (G)

Daekvagul is governed by a Charismatic Dictatorship. Charismatic governments justify their ability to rule by simply asserting their right to rule. Charismatic dictatorships are typically young governments, coming as a recent change, and rely on the leader(s) to supply head of government.

World Law (L)

Daekvagul has an extreme law level which covers every area of interaction. Laws are complex, detailed, and difficult to understand. Every interaction with the government requires an Advocate. Law enforcement is omnipresent and strict. Legal proceeding can take months to years to resolve and may involve dozens of people. A few worlds with this law level may be a Red Zone and others will be an Amber Zone. All objects specifically manufactured as weapons are typically regulated or prohibited (with no exception for private residences; visiting starships are only protected so long as they stay within designated starports and approach corridors).

World Timeline

Major events that have affected this world and the wider region that it lies within:

• ca -250,000: The Ancients were active within the sector, transplanting the Vargr onto Lair.
• -9235: the Vilani discover jump technology. A few explorers and settlers begin to pioneer the region.
• -4045 to -2204: the Ziru Sirka claims a few rimward worlds and establishes a firm border. The Windhorn Rift and the absence of any significant Mains discourages large-scale Vilani expansion into the region.
• -3810: the Vargr discover jump technology and begin an era of expansion.
• -2400s: Vargr raiding into human-dominated areas significantly increases. This becomes known as the Vargr Pillaging.
• ca -1700: Vargr rimward expansion gradually ceases: the border between human and Vargr space stabilizes.
• -1776 to 0: the Long Night. There is widespread regression within the area and some worlds become barren.
• The Year 0: to rimward-trailing, the Third Imperium is founded.
• circa 26: the Empire of Varroerth is founded.
• early 100s: the Contract of Taarskoerzn is founded.
• 300-420: the Imperial First Survey charts the system.
• early 400s: the Irrgh Manifest is founded: it absorbs the Contract of Taarskoerzn.
• mid 500s: the Knokseng Confederation is founded.
• 869: the Glory of Taarskoerzn is founded. It splits the Irrgh Manifest.
• 995-1065: the Imperial Second Survey charts the system.
• 1065: the Second Survey is published. Information about the system becomes widely available.
• 1090: the Dzarrgh Federate is formed.
