Era: New Era

Errogel has both an unbreathable thin atmosphere and a lack of surface water, making habitation by sophonts difficult. The system has a population between 10,000 and 10 million, lacking the industrial base to be completely self-supporting. It is a member of Wilds in the Atsah Subsector of Deneb Sector.

Description (Planetology)[edit]

This system is part of the Segan Cluster.

Stellar Data[edit]

Errogel has a solitary primary star.

Mainworld Data[edit]

Mainworld Size (S)[edit]

Errogel is a Meso World between 7,200km and 8,800km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.4G and 0.57G. The horizon will appear about 4km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)[edit]

Errogel has a pressure of 0.43 to 0.70 atmospheres. The Thin Atmosphere does not require survival gear although it may be hard on sophonts not accustomed to it.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)[edit]

Errogel has no free-standing water or ice on the surface. Wilderness refueling isn't possible on this world. Water for the inhabitants needs to be imported and extensively recycled. These worlds are classified Desert World or a Hell World depending on their atmosphere.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

The system is part of the Atsah Cultural Region.

Errogel has always relied upon the Imperial Navy for its livelihood. The local naval base is a logistical facility constructed to assist in the movement of supplies and reinforcements to the Spinward Marches in the event of hostilities against the Zhodani. Hundreds of thousands of workers are employed by the base for ship maintenance, supply handling and various other support and logistical operations.

Errogel itself hot and almost completely dry. The world is tidally locked around the largest gas giant, Kigashige, and most of the population lives on the darkside, where temperatures are fairly moderate.

World Starport (St)[edit]

Errogel has a Class B Starport, a good 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 most kinds of repair, and construction of non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

There is an associated Naval Base.
Vargr starports reflect the variety of Vargr architecture, with many disparate styles of building, each having their own unique ornamentation and gaudy colour scheme, and all competing for the attention of the onlooker. Emblems for the major shipping lines and port facilities abound.

World Population (P)[edit]

Errogel has a population of 700,000 sophonts (hundreds of thousands).

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

World Demographics[edit]

The population is largely Aekhu Vargr, with most of the remainder being Humans. Kirissukyoya communities also exist here.

Linguistic Topography[edit]

The following languages are spoken here:

Urbanization[edit]

Water collects in a few areas of the darkside, and most population centers are located near these valuable reservoirs. The navy base is located near a large manmade water body known as Lake Plocken, which is now used by the locals to raise dark-loving aquatic life for consumption.

World Technology Level (T)[edit]

Errogel possesses a Technology Level of TL–10 or TL-A in Hexadecimal Notation.

Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Holovision, Personal Global Communications, and advanced Translators.
Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Increasingly advanced fusion plants and advanced fuel cells.
Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
- Land & Water: Grav belts and maturing gravcraft.
- Air: Greatly improved hybrid grav-aircraft.
- Space: Improved interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
- FTL: Jump Drive-1.

World Government (G)[edit]

Errogel 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.

World Military[edit]

No information yet available.

World Law (L)[edit]

Errogel 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. Travel documents are frequently checked. There is no legal concept of privacy (save for those who can claim necessity for official government business). The police are free to inspect anyone and anything at any time.

World Culture[edit]

The Atsah Cultural Region, of which Errogel is part, is made up of pro-Imperial Vargr, who are easily recruited to serve on patrols and diplomatic missions. Allegiances in these Vargr states shift constantly, and each time a world's government changes, so does its status within the Imperium.

Historical Data: Later Eras[edit]

When the Regency of Deneb contracted its trailing border in the Abandonment during the 1130s, the admiralty decided that the Errogel base was too large to dismantle or destroy, but to valuable to leave to the tender mercies of Vampire Fleets, and a large guard force remained behind, even after most of the workforce had been evacuated. After the Rape of Trin, the Regency reoccupied some Wildside systems, in the form of a permanent naval presence, and the Errogel base was partially reactivated. The base is currently the headquarters of the 269th (Intelligence) Fleet, a unit dedicated to intelligence gathering in Trailing Deneb and Corridor Sectors.
