Mainworld Data[edit]
Engrange has a circumbinary orbit, circling around both stars and receiving their combined energy output.
It orbits within the two stars' combined habitable zone.
- It receives moderate levels of stellar energy.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
The world was recolonized from Ilium in -40 and remains under Ilium's jurisdiction, though its population is fast approaching that of the mother planet.[2]
World Starport (St)[edit]
Engrange 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)[edit]
Engrange has a population of 70,000,000 sophonts (tens of millions).
- Around 80% of the population (approximately 55 million individuals) consists of Daryens.
- About 10% of the population (more than 7 million individuals) is made up of Aslan.
- Roughly 10% of the population (slightly less than 7 million individuals) consists of baseline Imperial humans.
Linguistic Topography[edit]
The most commonly heard languages are:
- Te-Zlodh
- Written te-zlodh uses a syllabary of flowing symbols, known as yaser te-yulep (the old script). When the Solomani arrived at Darrian, a new Latin-based alphabet, rome te-yulep ('the Roman script'), was introduced. Currently, yaser te-yulep remains in use for legal documentation, classic literature, poetry and news bulletins, where the speed and efficiency of the syllabary allows for rapid reading. Scientific and educational documentation are written in rome te-yulep.
World Technology Level (T)[edit]
Engrange possesses a Technology Level of TL–8.
- Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Fiber optics, improved telephones, and satellite communication and data networks.
- Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Improved geothermal and improved batteries.
- Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
- Land: Advanced automobiles.
- Water: Triphibians and early artificial gills.
- Air: Improved helicopters and hypersonic jets.
- Space: Space shuttles, early space stations, and improved interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
World Government (G)[edit]
Engrange has a Captive Government or Colony. The world is ruled by an external government, there is no self-rule. This is a colony or conquered area. The local government is an oligarchy appointed by, and answerable only to, the external government.
World Law (L)[edit]
Engrange has a high law level with laws covering many areas of interactions of people, corporations, and the government. A few worlds with this law level may be Amber Zones. Any interaction with the judicial system requires an Advocate trained in the local legal system. Law enforcement is present almost everywhere, either as people or via technology. Legal proceedings can take weeks to months to resolve and involve a dozen or more people. All objects specifically manufactured as weapons are typically regulated or prohibited (outside private residences or visiting starships).
- The Taledh Code is the basis of Darrian law.
