Doughaerr is a nonindustrial fluid world.

• A fluid world has an oceanic geography consisting of heavily contaminated water or a substance such as ammonia, methane, hydrocarbons, or other exotic liquid.
• 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 Jihad of Faarzgaen in the Vorvoun Subsector of Provence Sector in the Vargr Extents.

• This world has been conquered by Tughghorr.
• It is a member of the Llaegharrgh Chain.

System Data

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

• The mainworld.
• x3 secondary rocky worlds.
• x2 planetoid belts.
• x2 gas giants.

Mainworld Data

Mainworld Size (S)

Doughaerr is a Big World between 15,200km and 16,800km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 1.1G and 1.5G. The horizon will appear about 5.7km away. Vessels with only 1G of thrust should avoid landing on this world.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Doughaerr has an Exotic Atmosphere and possesses an unusual gas mix which requires the use of oxygen tanks. Additionally, protective suits, while not necessary, are recommended. TL–8 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Doughaerr has 85-95% 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.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

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

History & Background (Dossier)

This world lies within jump-1 of Arghavor, the further spinward of the two Llaegharrgh-Vorvoun Jump Bridges.

The jump bridges consist of two Rogue Worlds lying within empty interstellar hexes.

• Arghavor, the spinward jump bridge, is rarely used due to the ongoing political situation within the Jihad of Faarzgaen.
• Uraku, the trailing jump bridge, is a thriving hub that sees heavy traffic.

(Chart sourced from Traveller Map)

• Worlds lying on the two Mains are highlighted in tan.
• The two jump bridges are denoted as red targets.
• Llaegharrgh is marked in red and Vorvoun is marked in green.

World Starport (St)

Doughaerr has a Class D Starport, a poor quality installation which has few of the 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 only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

World Population (P)

Doughaerr has a population of 300,000 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.
• The population entirely consists of Vargr.

Faith and Belief

The world has been forced to follow a radical form of the Faarzgaen religion. One of the core elements of the faith is that the god directly influences his followers actions. He implants feelings and thoughts into their bodies and minds, suggesting how and when they should eat, sleep, behave, and generally conduct themselves. If they are hungry, Faarzgaen wants them to eat, if they are tired, Faarzgaen wants them to rest. Those who commit immoral or criminal acts are seen as having chosen not to follow Faarzgaen's guidance.

The sect added something new: it was not wrong, they declared, to take what you need from heretics and unbelievers. If you want to seize their posssessions, it is Faarzgaen giving you that righteous passion; if you want to murder someone, it is because Faarzgaen wants that person to die.

While religious beliefs did influence thinking across many worlds where the Faarzgaen faith was followed, secular issues were generally conducted independent of any religious oversight. Though Faarzgaen was present within all aspects of life a clear distinction between church and state was maintained. The sect that has seized power has done away with this and inserted itself into every aspect of society and law: non-believers are considered heretics, their territories and possessions are to be seized, and the unbelievers themselves should either be forcibly converted to the faith or destroyed. It has gained billions of fanatical new followers from among the poor and disadvanted masses.

World Technology Level (T)

Doughaerr possesses a Technology Level of TL–8.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Fiber optics, improved telephones, and satellite communication and data networks.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Improved geothermal and improved batteries.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Advanced automobiles.
  • Water: Triphibians and early artificial gills.
  • Air: Improved helicopters and hypersonic jets.
  • Space: Space shuttles, early space stations, and improved interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).

World Government (G)

Doughaerr 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.

World Law (L)

Doughaerr has an extreme law level which covers every area of interaction. Laws are complex, detailed, and difficult to understand. Every interaction with the government requires an Advocate. Law enforcement is omnipresent and strict. Legal proceeding can take months to years to resolve and may involve dozens of people. A few worlds with this law level may be a Red Zone and others will be an Amber Zone. All objects specifically manufactured as weapons are typically regulated or prohibited (with no exception for private residences; visiting starships are only protected so long as they stay within designated starports and approach corridors). Civilian movement is rigidly controlled. Travel documents are frequently checked, and destinations must often be declared when traveling substantial distances across the world.

World Timeline

Major events that have affected this world and the wider region that it lies within:

• ca -250,000: The Ancients were active within the sector, transplanting the Vargr onto Lair.
• -9235: the Vilani discover jump technology. A few explorers and settlers begin to pioneer the region.
• -4045 to -2204: the Ziru Sirka claims a few rimward worlds and establishes a firm border. The Windhorn Rift and the absence of any significant Mains discourages large-scale Vilani expansion into the region.
• -3810: the Vargr discover jump technology and begin an era of expansion.
• -2400s: Vargr raiding into human-dominated areas significantly increases. This becomes known as the Vargr Pillaging.
• ca -2350: the Foergaz Coalition, an early polity, collapses.
• ca -1700: Vargr rimward expansion gradually ceases: the border between human and Vargr space stabilizes.
• -1776 to 0: the Long Night. There is widespread regression within the area and some worlds become barren.
• The Year 0: to rimward-trailing, the Third Imperium is founded.
• circa 26: the Empire of Varroerth is founded.
• 300-420: the Imperial First Survey charts the system.
• 777: the Lair Protectorate is established.
• early 900s: the Llaegharrgh-Vorvoun Jump Bridges are constructed.
• 995-1065: the Imperial Second Survey charts the system.
• 1065: the Second Survey is published. Information about the system becomes widely available.
• 1095: Faarzgaen extremists capture a number of worlds and secede from the Empire of Varroerth. They declare a Jihad against neighbouring worlds.
• 1096: the Province of Llaeghskath secedes from the Empire of Varroerth, becoming the Llaeghskath Interacterate.
