Didtayinzhial 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 an unclaimed Non-Aligned world located in the String of Pearls Subsector of Yiklerzdanzh Sector.

• This is a cold world with an overall climate that is at the lower temperature range of human-congruous sophont endurance.
• This is a "low technology" world with technology competencies well below standard for Charted Space.
• This world is controlled by Chezh Daznish.

System Data

The worlds of the system have been partially surveyed. They consist of:

• The mainworld.
• An unknown number of secondary rocky worlds.
• x1 planetoid belt.
• x3 gas giants.

Mainworld Data

Didtayinzhial has a slow rotation period: one local day is equivalent to 3.5 standard days (85 standard hours).

The mainworld orbits within the star's Habitable Zone.

• It lies within the zone's colder outer H- region.
• It receives lower levels of stellar energy.

• The world orbits beyond the star's Jump Shadow.

Mainworld Size (S)

Didtayinzhial is a Meso World between 12,000km and 13,500km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.8G and 1.1G. The horizon will appear about 5.1km away. Vessels with 1G of thrust should check with local starport authorities before attempting to land using emergency power.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Didtayinzhial has a pressure of 2.5 or greater atmospheres. A Dense & High Pressure Atmosphere typically requires no survival gear under many conditions. Pressure at or below sea level is too great to support life but the atmosphere may be breathable at higher altitudes. TL–5 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

• Temperatures during daylight hours are moderate but plummet to very low levels at night.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Didtayinzhial has 75-85% of its surface covered by liquid water or ice heavily tainted with other substances, which makes it dangerous, corrosive, or toxic. Wilderness refueling will be difficult. Water for the inhabitants needs to be imported and extensively recycled. These worlds may be Hell Worlds.

• The water on the surface may be unsuitable for use or consumption without extensive filtering and purification.
• Refining for fuel may cause issues with shipboard purification plants.

Satellites

Didtayinzhial does not retain any moons.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

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

(Blank map, exotic world.)

Native Lifeforms

Exotic native life occupying a wide range of ecological niches. Its metabolic functions help drive the process of atmospheric renewal.

• Native lifeforms are cryophilic - they thrive in very low temperatures.
• They will rapidly die in environmental conditions suitable for humans.

History & Background (Dossier)

This world was originally colonised in -5097, during the Meichntid Ibl's War of Secession. A damaged Zhodani vessel (the Zhdanticha) misjumped in a desperate attempt to escape capture, and emerged here.

World Starport (St)

Didtayinzhial has a Class E Starport, a frontier quality installation with few expected amenities. There is unrefined fuel for starships and a limited variety of ship provisions. There is no shipyard of any kind, but there may be parts and technical support for doing minor services and repair. Ports of this classification generally consist of a downport.

World Population (P)

Didtayinzhial has a population of 700,000 sophonts (hundreds of thousands).

• This is a Nonindustrial World, too small to support the complete chain of production of most goods from start to finish.

Urbanization

The oldest settlement still uses part of an extensive cave system which appears to be laser drilled, and there is other evidence of Zhodani technological culture (e.g. the oldest parts of Zdantich Castle).

World Technology Level (T)

Didtayinzhial possesses a Technology Level of TL–1.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Runners or beast relay and long distance signaling such as the heliograph and semaphore.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Muscle power and water wheels.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Riding animals, rickshaws, carts or other creature-drawn wheeled vehicles.
  • Water: Rowed galleys and early sailing vessels.
  • Air: Typically not available unless a bodily ability or ride-able flying beasts available.

World Government (G)

Didtayinzhial has a Captive Government or Colony. The world is ruled by an external government, there is no self-rule. This is a colony or conquered area. The local government is an oligarchy appointed by, and answerable only to, the external government.

• The world is directly controlled by the authorities on Chezh Daznish.

World Law (L)

Didtayinzhial 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.

World Culture

The world lies within the Zhodani Shadow, a region strongly influenced by the society and culture of the Zhodani Consulate.
