Darmin (World) Synopsis

Darmin is a low-population water world, which has 90% or more of its surface covered in an ocean of water and a population of less than 10,000 sophonts.

• The inhabitants of this world live on the roughly 10% of exposed land mass, in underwater colonies, on city ships, or similar arrangements.
• It is a member of the Hochiken People's Assembly in the Denkard Subsector of Gateway Sector.

Description

The 6,000 inhabitants live in a single floating city anchored in an island chain near the equator. When necessary the city can move slowly, enabling it to relocate to the most sheltered position. Most storms can be ridden out in place but when a particularly violent one is forecast the entire population battens down and the city is moved to safety. Upon occasion it has been necessary to cut the anchor chains and allow the whole settlement to be blown downwind.

History & Background (Dossier)

Darmin has the potential to be developed into an aquaculture ‘breadbasket’, but this would require a level of coordination and cooperation rarely seen in the Hochiken People's Assembly.
