History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Edenelt is a Puzzle World and is designated as an Amber Zone. It presents particular risks and dangers due to the environment or native life forms, laws or customs, or other conditions that are not well understood.
- Visitors are advised to act with caution.
Edenelt is an xboat hub: it lies at a junction of xboat routes running through the Katarulu Cluster and connecting the Mora, Glisten, and Gulf subsectors.
The world had certain privileges and rights, agreed with the government of Squanine, concerning the colony at Burtson. These chiefly related to mineral extraction in unpopulated areas and preferential treatment for Edenelt-registered vessels at the starport. These rights were revoked by Squanine in 1109, when the government of Edenelt was replaced.
World Starport (St)[edit]
Edenelt has a Class A Starport, an excellent 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 other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

World Government (G)[edit]
Edenelt 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 This is a continuation of the charismatic dictatorship, where the original leadership has died or retired and been replaced by allies or protégés.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.
In 1109 an uprising on the world overthrew the long-established Lord High Marshal, replacing him with a council of environmentalists.
World Law (L)[edit]
Edenelt 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. On worlds with this degree of law, it is difficult to distinguish the police from the military. On others, there is no difference.
