Efrenz is a low-population world with a population of less than 10,000 sophonts in size.

• This world has yet to take off economically or otherwise and the population remains low for reasons largely unknown.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Zhdierqr Subsector of Fulani Sector.

• It is a mainworld which is a satellite of either a gas giant or another world.
• This is a temperate world, with a climate of pleasant, average temperatures, considered to be an ideal or near-ideal environment by many different sophont species.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

Stellar Data

Efrenz is a binary star system.

• The primary is an orange main sequence.
• The secondary is a tiny white dwarf stellar remnant.

Efrenz has two stars in the star system.

System Data

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

• The mainworld.
• x5 secondary rocky worlds.
• x1 planetoid belt.
• x3 gas giants.

Mainworld Data

Efrenz is a satellite of a gas giant.

The mainworld and its gas giant primary orbit within the star's Habitable Zone.

• They lie within the zone's prime H region.
• They receive moderate levels of stellar energy.
• The gas giant is "puffy", warm and swollen due to the energy it receives from the star.

Mainworld Size (S)

Efrenz is a Meso World between 10,400km and 12,000km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.7G and 0.9G. The horizon will appear about 4.7km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Efrenz has a pressure of 1.50 to 2.49 atmospheres. A Dense Atmosphere requires no survival gear although it may be hard on sophonts not accustomed to it.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Efrenz has 15-25% of its surface covered by liquid water or ice. There may be a few small seas. Wilderness refueling is possible. Water for the inhabitants needs to be imported and extensively recycled. These worlds are Hell Worlds or Poor Worlds depending on their atmosphere.

• Much of the surface is an arid, hostile environment.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

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

Primitive native life occupying a number of ecological niches. Its metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.

• Native life thrives in arid conditions.

History & Background (Dossier)

Efrenz is a quiet outpost with almost no development. The rich resources of the world are being surveyed with the aim of beginning commercial extraction within the next decade.

• The resources of the system are being explored.

A few private interests are active within the system.

• Commercial traffic is relatively infrequent: ships only occasionally visit.
• Commo picks up occasional signals and private chatter. Communications are in Riftian Anglic.
• A number of commercial navigation beacons will be active.
• Vessels occasionally operate among the other worlds and moons that make up the system.

Note that social data, though only 40 years old, may be out of date.

• Verified updated data is constantly sought.

World Starport (St)

Efrenz 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 Demographics (P)

Efrenz has a permanent population of 10.

Urbanization

A single small facility, adjacent to the starport, with a few outlying structures and compounds.

• Almost all of the surface of the world is wilderness.

World Technology Level (T)

Efrenz possesses a Technology Level of TL–9.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Fiber optics and satellite communication and data networks.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early fusion power.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Ultra high-speed trains and early grav vehicles.
  • Water: High efficiency sailcraft, multihulled seacraft, improved artificial gills.
  • Air: Tiltrotorcraft, exotic VTOL's, PARWIG, and rocket-assisted suborbitals.
  • Space: SSTO spacecraft, early military spacecraft (System Craft), and interstellar STL starships
  • FTL: Prototype Jump Drive-1.

World Government (G)

Efrenz is governed by a Participatory Democracy where eligible voters determine laws and policy. What determines an eligible voter varies. There may be smaller councils or regional bodies to draft the policies voted upon. Leadership of the government and all members of the bureaucracy are determined by the voting population.

World Military

Privately retained security personnel.

World Law (L)

Efrenz has no law in practice. It is an Anarchy. On many worlds, this by itself justifies an Amber Zone advisory. There are few laws, covering only important areas. There may be few or no law enforcement officers, the expectation is citizens will bring law breakers to the attention of the Judicial system. Legal proceedings will be fast, with few people involved. For interactions outside of the framework of the laws, cultural norms dominate.
