Etdirkorneer is a poor, industrial, high-population hellworld, with a billion or more sophonts who struggle to survive in an inhospitable environment.

  • Hellworlds often offer daily, and sometimes even hourly, life-threatening situations to their inhabitants.
  • As an industrial world, this planet has well-developed manufacturing and processing industries. Manufactured goods are a major export item.
  • It is a member of the Hive Federation in the Etdirkorneer Subsector of Ricenden Sector.
  • The world serves as the subsector capital with the significant extra trade and prestige associated with that role.
  • This world-system has a Naval Base, usually associated with military starships, which may be located on or off-world.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)[edit]

Etdirkorneer 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.

Native Lifeforms[edit]

Certain carnivorous lifeforms -- and the habitats supporting them -- are protected due to their important role in predation of Hiver larvae. Hiver intelligence is the product of environmental stresses in infancy; avoiding these perils triggers the larva's capacity for consciousness.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

No information yet available.

World Starport (Sp)[edit]

Etdirkorneer 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.

  • There is an associated Naval Base.
  • A small, unobtrusive security force is drawn from the most suitable members of the local militia and stiffened with navy regulars.
  • The density of ancillary buildings around the downport means that it is not a good place to build Hiver nests; settlement near a Hive Federation port favours a world's non-Hivers. These communities are difficult to build into predictable social models.
  • Ships are subject to mandatory anti-larval fumigation before leaving, to kill any infant Hivers that might have gotten aboard. Hivers are distressed by the notion that a larva might find itself achieving sapience in an environment absent adult Hivers and suitable nests.

World Population (P)[edit]

Etdirkorneer has a population of 9,000,000,000 sophonts (billions).

World Demographics[edit]

  • Hiver, population 95%
  • Other, population 5%

World Languages[edit]

  • Hiver Sign Language
  • Gurvin
    • Non-Hiver locals will typically speak Gurvin augmented with a pidgin of local languages and Ithkluri, to provide ambiguity and metaphor lacking from the standard Gurvin vocabulary.

Urbanization[edit]

Hivers are fond of rounded shapes, domes, spheres and non-Euclidian architecture. This is ironic in that many schools of Hiver starship construction are focused around the opposite -- extremely square, boxy ships.

  • Hivers like small, cramped domiciles with defined spaces and solid walls. Much of a Hiver nest is subterranean.
  • Pet Snohl may be found in the deeper nests.

World Government (G)[edit]

Etdirkorneer 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]

As a member of the Hive Federation, this world can call upon Ithklur warriors as well as its own defence forces.
