Dunedin is a poor, moderate population non-agricultural and pre-industrial hellworld with a population, over a hundred million, but not yet at a billion sophonts, struggling to survive in an inhospitable environment.

• Hellworlds often offer daily, and sometimes even hourly, life-threatening situations to their inhabitants. Survivors often develop intense survival skills and tend to be grim realists.
• This world is unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
• It is a world working towards greater industrial capability, but currently lacks an adequate population to expand its industrial sector.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Corelian Subsector of Theta Borealis Sector.

• This is a "Puzzle" world designated as an Amber Zone. Caution is advised since the world has an environment, laws, customs, life forms, or other conditions that are not well understood and might be a danger to a visitor.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

Stellar Data

Dunedin is a binary star system.

• The primary is a yellow main sequence.
• The secondary is a red main sequence.

Dunedin has two stars in the star system.

System Data

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

• The mainworld.
• x8 secondary rocky worlds.
• x2 planetoid belts.
• x1 gas giant.

Mainworld Data

No information yet available.

Mainworld Size (S)

Dunedin is a Meso World between 5,600km and 7,200km in diameter. The world has low gravity between 0.32G and 0.46G. The horizon will appear about 3.6km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Dunedin has a pressure of 0.10 to 0.42 atmospheres. The very thin pressures require a respirator or Oxygen Mask. 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 Respirator Combination Mask. Some taints may require more protective equipment. TL–5 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

• The world has an abiotic oxygen atmosphere.
• Atmospheric oxygen is produced by a photocatalytic reaction between stellar energy and surface minerals.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Dunedin has 05-15% of its surface covered by liquid water or ice. Wilderness refueling will be difficult. Water for the inhabitants needs to be imported and extensively recycled. These worlds are Hell Worlds or Poor Worlds depending on their atmosphere.

Satellites:

Mainworld Geography and Topography

No information yet available.

Native Lifeforms

No native life: the world has an abiotic oxygen atmosphere.

History & Background (Dossier)

No information yet available.

World Starport (St)

Dunedin has a Class B Starport, a good quality installation which includes all the expected amenities including refined fuel for starships, brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing annual maintenance, overhauls and most kinds of repair, and construction of non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

Facilities

Port facilities within the system include:

• No information yet available.

World Technology Level (T)

Dunedin possesses a Technology Level of TL–7.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Early video and early satellite communication networks.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early fuel cells, solar energy, and geothermal power sources.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Improved automobiles, hovercraft, and bullet trains.
  • Water: Hydrofoils and early triphibians.
  • Air: Hang gliders and supersonic jets.
  • Space: Deep space probes and interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).

World Government (G)

Dunedin is governed by a Non-charismatic Dictatorship. This is a continuation of the charismatic dictatorship, where the original leadership has died or retired and been replaced by allies or protégés. The justifications for the original change in government remain as well as the assertion of rights to rule.

World Military

• No information yet available.

World Law (L)

Dunedin 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 world with this law level may be an Amber Zone or a Red 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. There is no legal concept of privacy (save for those who can claim necessity for official government business). The police are free to inspect anyone and anything at any time.

World Economy

• Resources: A (abundant)
• Labor: 7 (tens of millions)
• Infrastructure: 8 (generally available)
• Efficiency: +3 (improved)

Trade Data

• Importance: 0 (unimportant)

World Demographics (P)

Dunedin has a population of 600,000,000

Urbanization

Multiple large urban centers are surrounded by smaller satellite communities.

• The population are concentrated into a single relatively densely populated region.
• Structures and facilities are sealed against local environmental conditions.
• Much of the surface of the world remains as wilderness.

World Culture

• Homogeneity: B (discordant)
• Acceptance: 8 (friendly)
• Strangeness: 8 (very confusing)
• Symbols: A (abstract)
