Darzii is a world suited to becoming an agricultural world, but with a population between 10,000 and 100,000 sophonts it lacks the capability to produce or process sufficient resources to export its projected agricultural produce. It is a member of Third Imperium in the Remnants Subsector of Dagudashaag Sector and in the Domain of Vland. Darzii, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estates of an Imperial knight (the Imperial representative to the world) and a baronet.

Mainworld Data

Mainworld Size (S)

Darzii 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)

Darzii has a pressure of 0.71 to 1.49 atmospheres. While a Standard Atmosphere does not require survival gear this atmosphere also contains an unusual taint such as disease, a hazardous gas mix, pollutants, or sulfur compounds which requires the use of a Filter Mask. Some taints may require more protective equipment. TL–3 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Darzii has 35-45% of its surface covered by liquid water. There will be a number of small seas or one larger body of water. Wilderness refueling is possible.

History and Background

Darzii is a planet that apparently outlived its original usefulness. The world had been colonized during the First Imperium as a factory world. The majority of the workforce consisted of clanless Ziadd brought from Zeda and Shallows subsectors. The manufacturing sites produced electronic components for export to assembly on numerous other worlds. The planet was extremely wealthy until it was abandoned at the beginning of the Long Night.

Despite serious famine and plagues, a small percentage of the population managed to survive the entirety of the Long Night.

The Vilani corporations returned at the beginning of the Third Imperium. In an epic legal battle which ended in 177, the corporations succeeded in reclaiming the planet. The surviving population were given an ultimatum -- work for the corporations or leave. The majority elected to stay.

The factories continued to turn out high quality electronic components until the late 700s, when the planet was declared no longer financially viable. In an unexpected gesture of good will, the corporate owners handed the rights to the planet over to the Ziadd population. The raw materials used in the manufacturing, usually sourced locally, were no longer economically available.

In 801 the provisional government invited the Ziadd independent Guild of Assassins, the Zhi'laem Avr, to move its training facilities to Darzii. The guild had come to the realization that it needed to find space to train the Zhiavr away from the Ziadd clan influence, yet had experienced difficultly finding an Imperial world willing to accept their presence. Darzii was still recognizably of the Ziadd culture, but with no ties to the clan structure back home. In return for use of the planet as a training ground, the guild would ensure a supply of raw materials delivered by each applicant as part of the Guild fee.

The Guild set up its training facility in the deserted city of Pakha D'Ghuur. The city streets became the stalking ground of assassins-in-training. Local people agreed to live and work in the city to ensure the training experience was 'realistic'.

Darzii is currently petitioning the Imperial Court to be allowed to join the Zeda Alignment.

World Starport

Darzii has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which features amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

World Population (P)

Darzii 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.

World Government (G)

Darzii 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.

Darzii 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.
