Dharma is an agricultural, nonindustrial world still lacking adequate means to expand its economy.

  • As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
  • 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.
  • It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Cruxway Subsector of Daibei Sector in the Domain of Ilelish.
  • About 80% of the population is composed of Evantha.
  • About 20% of the population is composed of baseline humans and other non-human sophonts.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Imperial Landed Nobility (N)[edit]

World Starport (Sp)[edit]

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)[edit]

  • Dharma has a population of approximately 200,000 sophonts.

World Demographics[edit]

World Languages[edit]

Urbanization[edit]

Most Evantha towns feature a cluster of slender, tall buildings surrounded by industrial centres, air and space ports, or hunting parks. Individual buildings are open and airy, with spacious rooms, balconies, and skylights. Shops and markets are open-air.

World Government (G)[edit]

Dharma is governed by an Impersonal Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government takes another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy dictates government policy and its execution. Government leadership is reduced to little more than figureheads and does not select the bureaucracy leadership or its members.

Note that the Human minority runs most of this governmental apparatus; bureaucracy is alien to the Evantha culture; record-keeping is a necessary evil, but evil nonetheless.

World Law Level (L)[edit]

Dharma has a high law level with laws covering many areas of interactions of people, corporations, and the government. A few worlds with this law level may be Amber Zones. Any interaction with the judicial system requires an Advocate trained in the local legal system. Law enforcement is present almost everywhere, either as people or via technology. Legal proceedings can take weeks to months to resolve and involve a dozen or more people. All objects specifically manufactured as weapons are typically regulated or prohibited (outside private residences or visiting starships).

World Technology Level (TL)[edit]

Dharma possesses a Technology Level of TL–9.

  • Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Fiber optics and satellite communication and data networks.
  • Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early fusion power.
  • Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
    • Land: Ultra high-speed trains and early grav vehicles.
    • Water: High efficiency sailcraft, multihulled seacraft, improved artificial gills.
    • Air: Tiltrotorcraft, exotic VTOL's, PARWIG, and rocket-assisted suborbitals.
    • Space: SSTO spacecraft, early military spacecraft (System Craft), and interstellar STL starships
    • FTL: Prototype Jump Drive-1.

World Military[edit]

Dharma has a Battalion Equivalent figure of 1.

  • This equates to approximately 500 sophonts under arms in an active or reserve capacity.

World Economy (Ex)[edit]

The world's economic measurements are: ( 9 4 4 +1 )

Any cheap, high-quality technological goods may be welcomed here, although the Evantha tend to sneer at the mass-produced items of giant Human corporations as lacking in proper character.

Trade Data[edit]

Trade Classifications for this world:

Trade Lines with other worlds:

Evantha equipment is beautifully made and unlikely to break but costs at least 50% more than equivalent Human items; the result of Evanthan preference for individuality and style at the cost of standardization.

World Culture (Cx)[edit]

The world's cultural characteristics are: [ 6 5 6 A ]

Evantha young are very dependent on their parents. Children accompany parents as much as possible, at home and during work. When they become adults, most find a substitute family by devoting themselves to a cause larger than themselves, not so much on its own merits as to give direction to their lives.

World Infrastructure[edit]

This world possesses very limited infrastructure.
