Dafoe is a nonindustrial world, that requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.

  • In a technological universe, societies without industrial capability generally suffer as nearly all manufactured and high tech goods must be brought in at significant cost.
  • 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 client state of the Third Imperium in the Zagrathian Subsector of Ley Sector.
  • This world has an Imperial Naval Base, capable of handling warships.

History & Background / Dossier[edit]

Leaving the coreward end of Ley Sector lightly defended frees up Imperial ships for deployment elsewhere, so long as regular intelligence gathering takes place. A few local civilian ships are subsidised to operate in the area, feeding reports to an intelligence office at Dafoe.

World Starport[edit]

Dafoe 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.

World Technology Level[edit]

Dafoe 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[edit]

Dafoe 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 Military[edit]

No information yet available.

World Economy[edit]

Economically insignificant, Dafoe derives most of its income from its naval base. This expansion of the highport was built specifically to house a few vessels of the Imperium's Ley Sector Fleet. This includes a jump-5 cruiser, though this ship is rarely in port but rather makes long sweeps to coreward by way of New Durbin or trailingward through Isolation.
