History and Background

The Family Gagnii has ruled Dupusirlu for hundreds of years, from the capital city of Shaszu on the one sizeable island in the World Ocean. They derive a sizeable personal income from their Imperial Monopoly on the export of water to the nearby desert world of Negev (Dagudashaag 2714), and the import of rare plants in return. Gagnii-Shaszu sells the plants, at considerable profit, to pharmaceutical companies. Other citizens of Dupusirlu work in the combines processing seaweed for the Company, or fish. The Family runs a small fleet of 50,000-tonne Jump-1 water-tankers to support its monopoly.

The TAS classes the planet as an Amber Zone: Visitors are confined to the Starport region unless special permits are obtained from the Gagnii-Shaszu Company. It is a Civil Offence, similar to libel elsewhere, to comment unfavourably on anyone's personal income or wealth; the ruling family habitually use this and similar measures to suppress comment on their rule. It is classed as a serious Criminal Offence to try to break the Water Monopoly over Negev, or otherwise interfere in the water trade, and anyone found to be contravening the monopoly may be imprisoned or executed.

A TL–12 Mercenary battle force is maintained to enforce this. Dupusirlu is one of the few worlds still employing Negevian mercenary soldiers for desert operations on the Negev homeworld.

World Starport (St)

Dupusirlu has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which features amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. 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)

Dupusirlu has a population of 50,000 sophonts (tens of thousands).

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

World Technology Level (T)

Dupusirlu 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)

Dupusirlu is governed by Self-Perpetuating Oligarchy. A single family or small group provides the leadership and important positions within the government. These positions are inherited by members of the group or by their relatives. The organization may be a monarchy, with titles passed to family members, or a plutocracy where inheritance of the family fortune includes government position. Alternatively, the organization may be a more typical government apparatus, only with positions of power inherited.

• The Gagnii family rule the planet.

World Law (L)

Dupusirlu has a moderate 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. All firearms except shotguns, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.
