Durgak is a poor, nonindustrial world.
- 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.
- This world has few prospects for economic development.
- It is a member world of the Tenjada Moralitate located in the Tangal Subsector of Mavuzog Sector.
- This is a cold world with an overall climate that is at the lower temperature range of human-congruous sophont endurance.
Description (Astrography & Planetology)[edit]

System Data[edit]
The worlds of the system have been surveyed. They consist of:
- The mainworld.
- x4 secondary rocky worlds.
- x4 gas giants.
Mainworld Data[edit]
The mainworld orbits within the star's Habitable Zone.
- It lies within the zone's colder outer H- region.
- It receives relatively low levels of stellar energy.
Mainworld Size (S)[edit]
Durgak is a Small World between 2,400km and 4,000km in diameter. The world has low gravity between 0.1G and 0.17G. The horizon will appear about 2.5km away.
Mainworld Atmosphere (A)[edit]
Durgak has a pressure of 0.43 to 0.70 atmospheres. While the thin atmosphere does not require survival gear 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 Mask. Some taints may require more protective equipment. TL–3 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.
- The world has an abiotic oxygen atmosphere.
- Oxygen is produced by photocatalytic conversion of surface materials by stellar energy.
- Fresh surface material is constantly exposed through processes such as seismic activity, volcanism, or erosion.
- The oxygen rapidly depletes from the atmosphere through oxidization with surface materials: a rough equilibrium between production and depletion exists.
- The percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere varies according to the density of global cloud cover.
Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)[edit]
Durgak 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.

Mainworld Geography and Topography[edit]
No centrally held map of the world exists within AAB Library Data records.
- Locally, detailed maps may be available.
- Verified updated charts are constantly sought.
- Detailed survey data commands premium prices.
(Placeholder chart, predominantly dry world.)
Native lifeforms[edit]
Primitive, extensive native life.

World Starport[edit]
Durgak 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 Technology Level[edit]
Durgak possesses a Technology Level of TL–6.
- Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Telephone, radio, and television.
- Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early fission power generation, advanced water and wind generation of electricity.
- Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
- Land: Improved automobiles, early ATV's, and dedicated AFV's.
- Water: Amphibious vehicles, improved submersibles, and early SCUBA gear.
- Air: Early jet aircraft and rotorcraft VTOL's.
- Space: Early unmanned rocket delivery systems and early manned orbital rockets.
World Government[edit]
Durgak is governed by a Civil Service Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government takes another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy leadership influences policy. The government leadership may select the bureaucracy leadership, but not its membership. Usually the governmental leadership is divided, or incapable of setting policy, and the bureaucracy provides a stabilizing influence. This ruling bureaucracy may be the full government bureaucractic apparatus or a section with limited jurisdiction but considerable influence, like the military.
World Military[edit]
The Durgak Army consists of 3 Battalions at TL–6.
World Law[edit]
Like all worlds in the Tenjada Moralitate, Durgak has a strong core of faithful who move from satrap to satrap, ensuring the purity and loyalty of the citizens. They collect the tithe, to ensure that the offertory can afford to manufacture ships and field armies of faithful, holy warriors.
Enclaves and monasteries of loyal monks and scribes networked into huge AI complexes manage all legal data and contracts, scriptures and teachings of the Tenjada. These are constantly updated and patched every time vessels travel from one system to the next. If a vessel is hailed with the good news and its computer doesn't know the correct piece of scripture with which to reply, it is marked as apostate, awaiting clerical review.
World Economy[edit]
- Resources: 6 (Few)
- Labor: 4 (Tens of thousands)
- Infrastructure: 1 (Extremely limited)
- Efficiency: +1 (Above average)
Trade Data[edit]
Importance -3 (Insignificant)
The ten holy books of scripture, or jada in the holy tongue, have extensive rules for the disposition of possessions, family members, livestock, land, and crafts. All interplanetary trade is closely monitored by anointed members of the faithful.
World Demographics[edit]
Population 400,000
World Culture[edit]
- Homogeneity: 9 (Discordant)
- Acceptance: 2 (Very xenophobic)
- Strangeness: 3 (Somewhat typical)
- Symbols: 9 (Somewhat abstract)
