Far Trinity is a rich, agricultural, nonindustrial garden world with a near-ideal, utopian environment conducive to most sophonts and high-grade living conditions due to a bustling economy.

• As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• This is a rich world with a prosperous and thriving world economy.
• Its economy and population are rapidly growing and living conditions are expected to quickly rise barring outside forces.
• 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.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Shiwonee Subsector of Massilia Sector in the Domain of Sylea.
• This world has an Imperial Scout base, capable of handling IISS starships and personnel.
• This world was colonized by and was controlled from Hervey; Imperial intervention saw the governance transfer to the subsector capital at Lagna.

Satellites

Far Trinity has two satellites, Tularosa and Oscuro.

Tularosa (Y666163-6) is the home of the system's Scout base, operated by carefully-supervised Trinitants. This huge satellite is large enough to constitute a double planet with Far Trinity, and is largely to blame for the world's incredibly high seismic stress.

Oscuro (F220564-6) is a penal colony, garrisoned by an army detachment from Hervey and utilized by law enforcement agencies throughout the subsector. Though few lawbreakers incarcerated here are from Far Trinity or Hervey, shrewd speculators saw an opportunity to make a substantial profit; the moon has little to offer in the way of true resources.

Mainworld Topography and Geography

Landmasses on Far Trinity consist of three major and four minor continents, with several major islands and archipelagos. The world's outer crust is mounted on only three distinct tectonic plates.

Tidal changes as large as 300 metres over a single day have been recorded on rare occasions. Painful experiences with deadly floods has taught the inhabitants to build their cities a safe distance inland.

History & Background (Dossier)

During the Fourth Frontier War (1082 to 1084), the neighbouring system of Hervey decided to "liberate" Far Trinity from its "currently less developed state", as one contemporary political analyst described it. Using the Frontier War as a timely diversion, Hervey (known at the time as Oppenheim) exerted itself over its neighbour.

Imperial High (Landed) Nobility

Far Trinity, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estate of an Imperial Landed Knight who acts as an Imperial representative to the world, and the fiefdom of a member of the Imperial Landed Nobility, who oversees affairs regarding the world at an Interstellar and Imperial level.

• It holds the estate of an Imperial knight, the Imperial representative to the world.
• It holds the fiefdom of an Imperial baron.

World Starport

Far Trinity has a Class D Starport, a poor quality installation which has few of the expected amenities. There is unrefined fuel for starships and a limited variety of ship provisions. There is no shipyard of any kind, but there may be parts and technical support for doing minor services and repair. Ports of this classification generally consist of only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

Urbanization

Having historically experienced a number of natural disasters, the world's leaders decided centuries ago to ban the creation of any city with more than 100,000 inhabitants, so that even if an entire city were obliterated by disaster, the overall loss would be lessened. If the population of a city grows too large, its most recent emigrants are forced by law to move elsewhere. This rule is still strictly enforced; only military personnel and short-term visitors (such as offworlders) are exceptions.

Major cities:

• Garsiel: Population 90,700; class-D Starport
• Rarlinic: Population 91,900; class-H spaceport
• Relzeg: Population 96,800; class-H spaceport
• Dantoc: Population 95,300
• Vax Warned: Population 96,300
• Bepoolo: Population 90,600

World Government (G)

Far Trinity 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.

• Far Trinity is governed by its traditional legislative branch, a group of 19 individuals of both sexes known as "the Makers of Rules", elected to single six-year terms.
• Hervey and later Lagna have controlled the world as a colony, and it is listed as such in Imperial databases.

World Law Level (L)

Far Trinity has a low law level. 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. Body pistols, explosives, and poison gas are typically regulated or prohibited.

• Personal freedoms are almost limitless on Far Trinity, so long as the parties involved do not inflict permanent damage on each other.

World Technology Level (TL)

Far Trinity possesses a Technology Level of TL–6.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Telephone, radio, and television.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early fission power generation, advanced water and wind generation of electricity.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Improved automobiles, early ATV's, and dedicated AFV's.
  • Water: Amphibious vehicles, improved submersibles, and early SCUBA gear.
  • Air: Early jet aircraft and rotorcraft VTOL's.
  • Space: Early unmanned rocket delivery systems and early manned orbital rockets.

The technology found on Far Trinity was influenced a great deal by the ruling government on Hervey. For example, the Trinitants were still using petrochemical fuels and had just developed radio when the invasion took place. Over the next three decades, advisors made a wide range of technological improvements available, most of which saw painstakingly slow acceptance. However, it was intended that there would be no new advances in mass communications, just in case any efforts ware made to unify the populace against the occupation.
