Double Line is a rich world.

  • As a rich world, this planet has high-grade living conditions and is highly sought after by immigrating sophonts.
  • This is a rich world with a prosperous and thriving world economy.
  • Some of the sources of this world's wealth are well known, but others remain a mystery. Many speculate on these mysterious sources of wealth. Some even investigate them... to no avail yet.
  • This world toils under the control of a military government with conditions reflecting that situation including curtailed civil rights and limited freedoms.
  • This world-system hosts a Military Base, usually associated with military ground forces, which may be located on or off-world.
  • It is an unclaimed Non-Aligned world located in the Factorium Subsector of Gakghang Sector.


Double Line, formerly (and technically still) known as "Chalanda", is effectively a client state of the Pirian Domain, and a proxy in its war with the Corsair Lyceum. Officially, Chalanda remains independent and rejects attempts at conquest from both the Pirian Domain and the Corsair Lyceum, thus its official nickname of "Double Line" since it is holding the line against both "aggressors". In practice, the Pirian Domain's takeover attempts are limited to cultural, political, and economic soft power, while the Corsair Lyceum sends no ships of its own though "independent" ships occasionally attempt piracy raids, kidnapping, assassinations, and other such asymmetric warfare tactics.

Since 1092 (when Double Line first sent forces to Vacice to temporarily repel Corsair Lyceum salvage teams) and still the case in 1105, Double Line is under martial law, though a military government that respects some degree of civil rights so long as one is not interfering with military material production, training troops, or other such activities. Double Line's main export is soldiers, usually via ships supplied by the Pirian Domain. Fighter pilot is the most publicized occupation for these soldiers, as the front in neighboring Vacice has no ground component, though about once a year there is a major push into Factorium (that typically scores a symbolic victory before being forced to retreat) which employs many more marines.
